Photo TR: Hanno goes Scandi for a bit


Recommended Posts

Long story short.. things happened which made it not possible for me (at that time) to do the entire Scandi 2014 trip.

But in the end I was able to visit for a few days.

As usual everything was organized to perfection this tour and needless to say I had a blast.

 

It also reminded me I should do more of these trips (opposed to what I had been doing most of the year)

Being outside and in a foreign country (far away from home) with good company is such an awesome way to relax, un-stress and energize for the rest of the year...

 

Had a blast.

 

Anyway, picture time..

 

I usually take tons of pictures at parks, mostly with people having a great time on coasters in mind.

 

Here's a couple of pictures from my Scandi visit.

 

First up:

Tusenfryd (see below)

Day 2: Liseberg

Day 3: Skara Sommarland

Great Photos Hanno. Love all the expressions on Speed Monster as well as all the memories that are flooding back from that awesome trip. Keep up the good work.

Was it cold that day? Looks even lower than 65 degrees from the reactions.

 

Thinking the same thing. SuperSplash is not that wet - honestly it is quite hard to get a decent amount of wetness riding this watercoaster. Likely designed that way due to the Norwegian weather.

Watching everyone over shoot the station on the Vekoma was really funny! So many looks of "Oh crap do I really have to go again!"

 

We were not happy campers at that moment, nor, I imagine, were the people in line whose already ridiculously long wait time was being extended.

 

Good park but worst operations of the tour.

 

Your photos are fantastic!

I feel like people were a little unfair to Tusenfryd. The problem was the company the park was in. Every other park on the tour was one of the 'OMG BEST PARKS EVAR' so by process of elimination there had to be a 'worst' park. To clump it with Six Flags though!?!? I don't think that's totally fair. The park was clean, nice, decent rides, most ops were friendly, food was fresh, etc.

 

We were just spoiled by the other parks!

How does Speed Monster compare to some of the other Intamin Launched coasters of the world like Maverick or Superman Escape or iSpeed? (I realize some of those are LIM and some are hydraulic, but they're similar enough) I don't recall if I've ever actually read review of the thing, the layout looks awesome but I don't really remember ever seeing it in any top 10's or 20's?

 

Great pictures as always Hanno, I always enjoy checking out your reports!

I prefer Maverick and Superman: Escape to Speed Monster, but I prefer Speed Monster to Liseberg's Kanonen. Can't speak for iSpeed, as I've yet to ride it.

I wasn't a huge fan of Tusenfryd, but I agree that people have been a little harsh. I'd rather go there than Bon Bon Land!

 

***Edit: Great photos, Hanno, as usual. Glad you got to meet up with the trip for a few days!

Amazing quality photos as always, Hanno!

 

I like the way you caught the Supersplash splashdowns 'frozen' right at the point of impact... I can almost feel myself getting completely soaked in that front seat all over again! (What was I thinking to take a seat there?)

That's true. I found the worst line jumping to be at Tusenfryd, but

really, that's not the park's fault, no matter how they try to enforce not

to line jump.

 

And trudging up and down those massive hills and paths got to me,

for myself. I really tried planning my "route" so there wasn't too much

"back and forth". But honestly, it couldn't be avoided much, up and down,

up and down...

 

And I still loved Thunder coaster, Speed Monster, and really enjoyed the

new dark attractions, Thor's Hammer and Nightmare.

 

So, I won't dump on the park. But if they get a new coaster (or something)

between now and the next tour there? This may be my park to pass on.

I agree 100% with this. While it may have been towards the bottom of the list of the parks we visited on that tour, it would most certainly be well above most USA parks, and I think that speaks volumes.

Exactly, I liked the park. The operations were sub standard but over all I thought it was a good day. I would pick Tusenfryd over Bon Bon Land too. Over all the parks are much better then what we have here. Great trip!

 

Love the pictures Hanno.

Calling it the six flags of Norway might have been a bit harsh on my side, and yes every other park on that trip was outstanding, this was the one that was a bit of a let down.

 

I think it was the loading of the Vekoma ( over 15 mins ) to dispatch the train.
