If someone comes close to riding a coaster, it's either a TPR DVD or Hanno pictures of those rides. Can't believe I haven't driven there yet. It's basically a small 5 hour away. Anyone who wants to come along ?

I'm glad to see EGF is running at full force. I haven't had the chance to ride it, but I'm sure my expectations of it would surpass 'we were trimmed? Couldn't even tell...'

Holy slag! I was wondering the other day about EGF and had no idea it is back in action =) Thanks for the report Hanno!

Can't believe I don't have this credit yet, I feel like going there right now!

I've only seen this on Intamin coasters but have always wondered. What are those little flap things on the wheel assembly that drag on the track for?

^ It looks like an electrostatic discharge strip. Basically stops you from getting a shock if you touch metalwork on the train (given that it spends it's life going very quickly on insulative tyres, I can imagine it would otherwise build up quite a static charge).

Great pictures Hanno! I'll have to go and check this thing out at some point!
