Loved the report Divv. Got to read the whole thing in one sitting as it's really slow at work this time of the year.

Such great memories! Thanks for posting all the fun pics, and stories! This was truly one of my favorite vacations ever!!! The TPR trips are amazingly fun, and I highly recommend them to everyone who loves parks and rides.

Divv, this was truly fantastic, and I'm so glad and thankful you posted all the photos, hysterical captions, and memories. It was truly a trip of a lifetime I know I'll never forget. I send HUGE infinite thanks to Robb, Elissa, everyone on the trip and additional TPR members who showed up at the parks who hung out with me, every single park (you're all amazing), and our bus drivers (shout outs to Lina - I hope I got your name correct - as well as our other driver whose name I wish I could recall!) for carrying all of us crazies all over Scandinavia.

Can we go back and do it all over again NOW?!?!

I have found one more female since the Scandi trip who likes me! That brings the total up to 2! I am feeling the love! ;)

As cool as it is to work at Linnanmäki, I was still sad to work that day. If only I had been on Pikajuna (the powered coaster) I would've liked it 'cause then I'd have met all you guys. But it had to be the miniature dodgems... (just below Tulireki) :( But it was kinda funny to hear a Tulireki-car filled with TPMembers to say "Ouch!" excactly at the same time at the bottom of it's first drop.

BTW Linnunrata stands for The Milky Way in finnish. ;)

Divv, I don't want to sound like a prick, lol , but Tampere isn't smack in the middle of Finland, ;)

Anyway...this goes without saying... but I really had an awesome time with you all for the few days I could join, sure I had met about a dozen of you before, but still got a warm welcome from the rest of the group and had lots of fun =) !
Oh and for the record there are 5 Irish Pubs in Helsinki, but Molly Malone's is the best hands down.

Wow.

I just caught up from the ferry update! Epic TR Divv :) Such awesome memories came flooding back. It's almost a shame because it could be a while before we get about 95% of the Brit Crew on a trip again, Scandi was too much awesome!

Thanks for putting this TR together Divv, they're always highly amusing and show the more serious and respectable side of the UK crew that might not otherwise be seen between all the drinking and scaring the crap out of Steve (and driving round go-kart tracks ten and a half times).

First and foremost, awesome TR Divv! I would have to say that you put up some of the best trip reports on the site! Maybe I'm biased because all of the pictures are of close friends and I get the vast majority of the inside jokes. But still, they're epic and I think most people would agree with me anyways!

Second of all, I miss you all! I am DEMANDING that all of the Brit/Hooters Crew reunites in Orlando this year. As incentive I'm bringing along my girlfriend and I give all of you full permission to harass her as if she's been one of us all along.

If someone were to give me money and a time-machine the first thing I would do is join you guys on this trip. The one thing that comes across in EVERY TR from TPR trips is how great a time all the participants have. Robb and Elissa, you 2 offer something truly incredible and unique. Can't wait to get on my next trip!
