And here's day 4 of our crazy trip: The 2nd day Europa Park!

Image
The awesome eurosat logo

Image
Yeah, there we almost go!

Image
Elevator lift shot, great technique!

Image
Look! It's a coaster!

Image
Our awesome photo!

Image
Best kiddy ride of the park! Crazy Taxi's! *hums the tune*

Image
Awesome quick overbanked turn from Blue Fire

Image
The turn before the insane roll

Image
Looop!

Image
Look at that roll, wtf @ heartlining

Image
G's ^_^

Image
Train through the roll

Image
It's a stone in the ground, somewhere located at the loop

Image
I gave Blue Fire a big hug xD

Image
Maverick alike roll ^_^

Image
Drop of MCBR, Airtime! [8D]

Image
Again, the awesome barrelroll!

Image
Coming out the huge turnaround

Image
Final turn before the final brakes

Image
Launch! [launch]

Image
And then... Atlantica Supersplash! Yay!

Image
Look, that's where we came from!

Image
Gooooooiiiinnnnggg Doooooowwwnnnn! [:D]

Image
And the boat behind us that does a splash!

Image
We also went onto the log flume!

Image
Awesome way to make time expire in the queue. Learn to Jodel! [lol]

Image
"Oh cr*p, it's a lift hill!"

Image
"Oh noes! Speedcamera's!"

Image
We went onto the powered coaster, apparently those girls like me... [lol]

Image
That way!

Image
Great photo from one of the darkrides.

Image
Great theming!

Image
We didn't forget about Euromir!

Image
Drop! =D

Image
Quick change of direction. Love it when your going backwards!

Image
Other victims of the ride on the top

Image
Awesome logo in the floor when entering the building

Image
And this is called an awesome queueline!

Image
Ahh.. It's again 6pm, we took the monorail ride back

Image
A closed Supersplash [:(]

Image
a closed Euromir [:(]

Image
A closed Posseidon

Image
Nerd-shot! [redsmoke]

Image
Silverstar is closed too!

Image
And there was our last stop, the park entrance.


I hope you enjoyed the PTR of this day [:)]

Bringing the camera on the ride is allowed on every ride except Silverstar and Blue Fire as far as I know. [:)]


Here's day 5, first part of the day: Funny World!

Image
The parking lot! Yes, those other cars were from the staff!

Image
Sign!

Image
apparently some kiddy rides were the victim of a prank. Water was filled with soap! [lol]

Image
Same goes for this ride [lol]

Image
Yes, it was kinda empty.

Image
Hello? Anyone?

Image
Oh well, we took a ride on those badass trucks! [lol]

Image
That ride is much more fun! And off course, SELF OPP!

Image
I see a butterfly behind the bushes. Yes, we rode it!

Image
Look! The first other guests in the park!

Image
Gary took also a ride on the horse track [lol]

Image
And then it was time for me to ride the pendulum. Those rides rule! Beyond vertical FTW!

Image
Yes, i'm inside that black box of death! [lol]

Image
Ohh... Skidbrakes!

Image
Awesome ride!

Image
Now it's time for Gary to take a ride on the self-opp-death-ball [lol]

Image
Yes, that's self-opp! One button makes you go roll forward, and the other backwards. The middle one makes you stop (Good for hangtime [pshades])

Image
And the other button on the outside, which is for the waiting guests.

Image
There he goes!

Image
Yes, he's enjoying it!

Image
Hold on tight!

Image
My turn [:D]

Image
Hello! [lol]

Image
And after some random mini-golf game we went back to Europa park!

That was funny world, a mini park with some self-opp rides that's laying in the shadow of Europa park. When you're in the neighborhood, it's fun to spend a couple of hours in this small park. It's cheap and damn fun!

I'll be posting the rest of the EP photo's tomorrow. I gotta go sleep right now!

Day 5: Part 2! Europa park again!!! [:D]

Image
We first went shortly back to our guesthouse, noticed a lot of busses on the parking lot!

Image
Launch!

Image
We still had a challenge to do, get a photo of you on the launch. Here's me in the queue!

Image
and after some photo's. There's me in on the launch! Check!

Image
and another one on the brake run

Image
awesome geyser(sp?)

Image
Splash! Now you're wet!

Image
huh? some local rain?

Image
There it is again!

Image
There's your problem!

Image
Great entertainment, those buttons!

Image
Poof! Some more victims getting a lil wet!

Image
Do NOT stand up...

Image
Ahem.. Do NOT stand up...

Image
Allright, that's it... These guys don't wanna listen. Kill em!

Image
Awesome kiddy bumpercars!

Image
OrangeFire!

Image
Yeah, Darkride!

Image
Awesome parrot!

Image
Look, it's gold!

Image
Face projection FTW!

Image
I love those lights, they look so awesome when you're cruising there.

Image
Euro-Mir!

Image
More Fire!

Image
Ahww... Closed Bluefire. I got the last ride of the day! [:D]

Image
Rapids stopped pumping

Image
Yeah, the park is really draining right now

Image
Our favorite kiddy ride was closed too

Image
We took a water path on the way to the exit

Image
Gary had to pay by getting a lil' wet! [lol]

Image
Look, that river rapid is still flowing! [lol]

Image
Yeahhh!!! About the last one left in the park!

Image
Last look of SiSta from inside the park.

Image
Hipp(ie) Baby Service. Jay, That's where your babies go! [lol]

Image
Country cups, Yaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Image
And yes, Gary was the last one leaving the park that day! He rules!


Coming up soon, Klotten!

Looks like a fun park! Did Silverstar suffer from lame B&M syndrome?

Gary had too big legs to ride it. His restraint needed one more click that was just physical impossible at that moment. That was too bad for him.
Next year the restraints will fit!

And I can't really answer the question, I've only ridden one B&M hyper so far and that's silverstar...

And here is the final day of our little insane trip: Klotten!

I've shot over 200 photo's from klotten's awesome gerstlauer bobsled. Those airtime moments after the helix are just briljant! If you'd ask if i'd would have a specific angle of the ride, i'd probably have it... [lol]

The photo's:

Image
Yes! It's klotten!

Image
The entrance

Image
The part of the ride that I just absolutely love!

Image
Helix Attack!

Image
Hi Gary!

Image
It's hei?????????e Fahrt from a small Heege tower [:)]

Image
More cool stuff in the park. That looping ferriswheel is probably one of my favorites!

Image
Some slide with rubberboats

Image
Another close up at the awesome rollercoaster where we specially came for!

Image
Yeah! They have those awesome zierer JetSki's!

Image
Yes! I'm riding them too! [lol]

Image
Look, there are other people riding it too!

Image
Bunny hills!

Image
and for the finish, a helix where you can touch grass!

Image
More helix Attack!

Image
Going up the lifthill

Image
Gawd, I love that part! <3

Image
Mouse turns!

Image
Look! No Queue, let's ride again!

Image
One of the many mcbr's

Image
Lifthill with still an unfinished vulcano

Image
People on the final brake run

Image
And now am I on the final brake run! [lol]

Image
Oehhh... Backwards view from the top of the lift!

Image
Quick transition with airtime!

Image
Going down!

Image
A lovely helix with 2 awesome airtime moments right after it

Image
And another backwards lifthill shot.

We kinda had seen the park and decided to continue driving to phantasialand. No photo's from that park tho...
Image
The parking lot is strangely filled with dutch people! I thought we were in Germany?

Image
Look at the view tho. It's great!

Image
And gary is ready to go to phantasialand!

Phantasialand was cool too, gary got to do all coasters over there, and we even got stuck for a short moment in winjas:
Image
(the only photo made in PHL and it's made with my phone [lol])


That was our trip. Now it's only waiting for Gary's video's to be posted [:)]

klotten was a fantastic park. lots of fun and a really nice setting. i shure do hope they finnish the volcano and the logflume one day as it would really complete the area but the bobsled was amazing. small smooth and lots of airtime in places.
the self op rides are so cool aswell and the views were fantastic.
phantasialand is one we do for a whole day next year as it was amazing for the 4 hours we were there. carnt wait till next trip.
video on the way in a few hours
