The design on the front of the train looks more like something I would expect to see on a billboard for something like "Blue Fire Medical Group" or "Blue Fire Insurance Agency", lol.

I'm glad everybody liked the pictures about Blue Fire. I did like the ride, i'm not going to hype it (just in case it's getting overhyped) and i'll leave it up to everybody to experience the ride, enjoy it and make up their own mind.

To me.. top 10 easy..

anyway.. back to the "program"

Before arriving at Europa Park and staying their for 2 days.. i had a travel day including a visit to two parks.. Legoland Germany is a place i've seen for a couple of years driving to and back from Austria. So i had to check it out.
While browsing the Park index i did notice Skyline Park as well. It was only one hour from Legoland so...

Time for a little detour Smile

This update is all about Skyline Park.

It's a nice place where i did not spent too much time.. because i still had to drive for one hour.. and was looking for as much time as possible at Legoland.. (thinking it might be crowded or.. whatever) so i rushed it a little..

I loved riding Blue fire on Sunday the coaster is amazing i still love the launch even though its not as intense as Intermin. I think meeting Ronald Mack on Sunday was a highlight even when he gave us members from TTF special ride time after the que line closed. I loved seeing those pictures they capture the ride really good.

That field in between the two sides of the park looks like the perfect spot for a woodie in the future.

Great photos as usual Hanno, most have been uploaded into the Park Index.

I also looked through your website of photos and sent you a PM suggesting other photos that people might enjoy.

So Today i did something totally different.. Instead of updating my report with pictures from Legoland Germany i decided to drive back to Germany.

This time for the new GCI Coaster named El Toro (yes.. you heard it right) at Forellenhof in Germany.

After visiting this little park in Germany i'm very happy for them to get this ride in. It's a great addition and totally fits the place.

Anyway.. i'll give you some pictures (as usual)

Hope you like them.
