Nice trip! Great to see pictures of Liseberg's old HangOver!
I went the new Tranan (S&S Power Eagle coaster) yesterday at Skara Sommarland. A nice rollercoaster, but it could have happened a little more.
I hope it works as it should on the 16th of June when the "Scandi Trip" visit the park. Because they had some problems with the ride yesterday. Once had people walk out of the wagon in the middle of the ride. The car also stayed in the uphill sometimes.

^That's the park I meant to say! See, there ARE too many parks with "Summerland" in them! 
Just for those who are interested, here's a web page with photos of the ride and construction: www.sommarland.se/trananblog/

After Farup Sommerland we made a quick (but fun) stop to Tivoli Friheden.
- Cobra was running!
- It was quite "bizarre"
- SCAD Tower here!
- We had many SCAD Tower virgins in our group.
- Good dark ride!
- Park treated us very well and we had a great time!

- The concept behind the SCAD Tower is simple - you get harnessed up, they bring you to the top, and they drop you into the net! No wires, so cables, NOTHING! Just a complete free fall into the net.

Oh dear God, that SCAD tower might be the scariest theme park attraction I've ever seen. But I'd still do it 'cause it just looks so freaking amazing.

Those SCAD towers look so cool, I saw a show with one of those in the Dells, looks like the scandi trip is one hell of a trip, can't wait to see the report on the other mega lite!
Edit: Didnt one of those Cobra coasters kill someone recently? Or was that something else?

I wonder if they sell those metal signs in the US. I need to get me one to put up in my yard to keep the wild animals away.

Hi TPR
"Kristen rode the cars about 20 times. She's now eligible to get her drivers license."
Ah, you mean KidTums! Y'know the tutor will call out "KidTums" during the school roll-call don't you Robb and Elissa?
