If i'm correctly it's now 5am in England. Anyway: I'm awake and departing soon to Schiphol, so that means I'd should have time to spare when Gary arrives.

This trip is going to be fun, and i'll probably be your translator for the whole trip long [lol]

gouldy, I'm sure they'll have fun. Dirk will try to convince gazag into doing cosplay where gazag will refuse, but will offer to dance around in a thong.

j/k

Enjoy Yourselves, how much does this trip cost?

We've just come back from an insane walibi world meeting. The closure was one big party and we've both enjoyed ourselves a lot! Too bad Gary was a bit ill from the flight, but after a short nap in the car he was ready again for some more partying. [lol] We've done a crazy hit-bingo. It's just bingo, but then with music and more crazy stuff. So we've got some crazy footage of ourselves too. [lol]

A few photo's raw from camera:

Image
Backstage Robin Hood, aka: angles you've barely seen before.

Image

Image
Hairtime!

Image
Food after the ERT! Yay!

Image
The 'hit bingo' party! [:D]

Image
Both having fun

Image
150+ people partying = too much fun [:D]

Image
Partay! [lol]

Image
Small group photo with the guys who made the party really stand out! They love coastercrazy too! We have videoproof! [lol]

That was my short TR from today. I don't know if we're going to be able to do daily updates. But we could try. xD
The weather should be alright tomorrow, so we'll hit EGF. Which is going to be fun!

It's pretty easy, go as a staff member onto troy with a rubix cube. A couple of days later you'll be asked to go to the boss and then you'd get kicked out. [lol]

And here's the (P)TR from Holiday Park:

The day for Holiday Park started really early. We had to get up early so that we could arrive at the park nicely at 10am. The weather forecasts predicted some slight rain in the morning and the rest of the day some clouds and more rain in the evening/night. When we arrived there we've seen it rained slightly but it was dry and the sun was already starting to poke through the clouds. Of course we walked as first towards EGF. It was still a little cold in the morning so as expected we got a little slower ride, but that'll go away as soon as it get's warmer during the day. Eventually we had all day long a really nice sun with some little clouds showing up on the sky. Awesome weather! Even tho the temperature stayed around 25?????????C it was some nice GeForce weather. The last rides we managed to get were good on forces. (Still not the best, but that requires like 35-40?????????C [lol])
All day long the queues were nice and short. I can't recall anywhere where we have waited longer than 10-15min. (With exception of the log flume since the weather was so nice.) We watched the new stunt show of the park. It's fun to watch, even if you can't understand German. Right Gary? [lol]
We also took a ride on the "chair swing of death". Going 230ft up in the air when you are sitting in a plastic seat that's been hanging with some small chains. Gouldy, you're going to love this ride. I'm sure! [lol]
At the end of the day we wanted to take a couple of EGF rides more. But just as we were standing at the gates for the backseat. EGF decided to go into a malfunction and the staff told they weren't going to open EGF anymore for the last 30 min of the day. Too bad. So we went to the other coaster for a couple of last rollercoaster rides. Apparently we had the last 3 rides on superwirbel, all front seat and we could stay seated. I think everyone went to EGF for the last couple of rides... [lol] After our mini ERT we went back to the car to continue our drive to Europa Park. We have a new Rollercoaster to meet there...

The Photo's:
Image
Camera was picked up late in the park, so first photo's from somewhere in the back of the park.

Image

Image
And then, Suddenly a breakdown!

Image
Just when we were standing in front of the backrow!

Image
I bet he's got a nice view...

Image
Since EGF broke down and didn't go open anymore, to superwirbel for a mini ERT frontseat with staying seated for 3 times just before closure of the park. [lol]

Image
After that, off to Europa park. Look at the view from our rooms!

Image
Muahahaha... Only about 150m walk [lol]



Thanks for reading and drop some replies.
I'll see how soon I can get the first day of Europa Park online.

holiday park was a awsome place full of great rides and wired things. the chairs of death were pretty scary and the stunt show was very very cool with lots of stunts, cool music, people on fire and pretty women scareing the crap out of you flying 1ft past the front of my face.

yep now everyone nag oscar for the first video, im waiting to get him again for the 2nd

Image
Launch!

Image
And those chemical formula's are on every brake fin. Cool detail!

Image
Big Loop!

Image
It's a roll!

Image
Wooosh!

Image
G-forces!

Image
We went very short back to our room, here's a dayview out of my room.

Image
Awesome warning sign in the Silverstar queue.

Image
ZOMG, 2 big guys in one small mack bobsled car. I hope that goes ok.

Image
Direction Changing

Image
Wheeeee!!

Image
Backrow: OMGWTFBBQ!

Image
Youngster @ frontrow: Oh noes! I could get wet!

Image
Watch out: Wet!

Done loads in the park. After park closure we ate something. Had a beer and soda, and then it was off to silverstar and Blue Fire at night!

Image
Soda!

Image
I guess Gary loves his beer a little too much... [lol]

And now off to the evening/night photo's!

Image
Cool Helix

Image
We hugged Silverstar! (Even tho Gary was a little too big to ride it.)

Image
It's blue fire! And yes, it was still running. Some rides really fast, some others really slow. I bet they were testing out the best launching speed.

Image
Loop and roll

Image
It's a beauty, even at night.

Image
It flies through the turns!

Image
Loooooooooooop!

Image
We gave a look at hotel colossus's their fountains. Apparently when we just arrived they started the little fountain show... lol! We had a good laugh at those kids that were running through the water at that time. [lol]

Image
Then we went up to a nice tower bar for an expensive cocktail of 10????????? each!
Gary had the Europa Park special!

Image
I got something called moonlight shadow. (Or something like that [lol]) It was good!

Image
With our cocktails we got some awesome tiny plastic swords. Look how tough I am now! [lol]

Image
Haha! My sword is bigger then Gary's! [lol]

Image
Yeah, I rule! [lol]

Image
We took one final shot at the first drop of silverstar and then we went off to bed. Getting some sleep for the next day at Europa park! [:D]
