Absolutely crushed by this announcement. Tree Topper has for a long time been one of my most seeked out coasters on Earth. I was going to make the trip in 2020 but unfortunately instead we're seeing the 6th closure of a classic wooden in the past few months
I was there on Tuesday for the first time and Comet was open the day (great ride might I add!). Unfortunately it's one of the only good rides at the park.
Many rides were closed for me though, including Extreme Supernova, Alpine Bobsleds, and Condor.
I would recommend getting Flashback out of the way first as the queue is very slow and it is close to the front of park. Apart from that queues are normally short. I must say, the park has a great atmosphere and appearance compared to other SF parks though.
And this is why B&M isn't a top tier manufacturer for me. They have no creativity and never push the boundaries. It's all well and good that they've experimented some with rider orientation/seating but the layouts are bland for the most part.
Admittedly I haven't been on one of B&Ms best like Fury or Nemesis but I don't have a single B&M in my top 10 personally. I consider Intamin, Mack, RMC, and Gravity Group to all be much better manufacturers, and soon Vekoma as well.

Hi everyone!
I'm making a trip to Norway, Sweden, and England this August, so naturally Kolmarden is one of the parks on my itinerary. Most of the parks that I'm visiting are either in or at a close proximity of a major city. Kolmarden is a little over 30 kilometers from Norrkoping, however I cannot find any train or bus tickets that go directly to the park. Are tickets available to travel by train/bus directly to the park from Norrkoping? If so, what sites? If not, what is the best option for getting to the park with public transportation.
Thank you!
The big ones on my bucket list are definitely:
Helix
DC Rivals
Lightning Rod
Wildfire
Expedition GeForce
Flash
Steel Vengeance
Wood Coaster
Jungle Dragon
Python in Bamboo Forest
Mega Lite
Icon
Superman Escape
iSpeed/Red Fire
T Express
Some random ones that I just really want to ride:
Wild West Mine Train (Ocean Park)
Yukon Quad
Wild Train
Really can't understand such high praise for El Toro or Outlaw Run. Both are awesome rides, but El Toro at 1 and Outlaw Run at 4 for wooden coasters? I see Toro as a borderline top 10 wooden coaster and OR as nowhere near top 10 honestly, as I was very underwhelmed by it (maybe night rides would have changed that).
I visited SDC for the first time on Friday, and I can't understand why there isn't more hype for Time Traveler! Back row is an amazing ride, with one of the best first drops out there.
Powder Keg was also a very pleasant surprise!
For anyone that has been to Tusenfryd.
I am planning a trip to the park in June and was wondering what reliable forms of public transportation that there are from Oslo to Tusenfryd. I have looked online but I can't find anyone bookable tickets by bus or train.
Thank you.
Do we have a time table as to when Thundercoaster will open back up again after the renovation? Will it open for the season when the rest of the park does?
I am planning to visit the park in June and I really don't want to miss out on the credit as it seems like a pretty good layout! For anyone that's been on it, what does Thundercoaster offer in terms of airtime?
