Hi all guys and gals.

I'm going soon on my yearly coastertrip. Last year i did france and spain but this years it's different.
I'll be traveling trough germany, austria, italy and switserland. It will be a trip of just traveling and see where we will stop, with of cource some parks as a stop [:)]
The parks i've planned to visit are:
- Skyline park
- Gardaland
- Movie studio park
- mirabliandia
- europa park
- holiday park (unsure)

Of cource i'd probably don't visit EVERY park, but these are at least planned, gardaland and movie studios park are very close to eachother and there is a nice waterpark at movie studios, so a reason to visit [:)]
But now your probably all asking, when i'd leave and when i'd come back. Well, on our planning is that we leave the 1st of august and come back in about 3 weeks. But it could be that i'd leave 1 or 2 days earlier. We'll see.
When i'm away from home i'd can't get on internet, or i'd should be lucky that there is a internet caf????????? close to our place of staying, so i'd can keep in contact where i'd am, etc. etc. etc.

I will tell when i'd exactly leave and i'd hope to find internet somewhere around there. And of cource i will shoot some onride and offride video. At least, only with the parks allowness.

And if i'd won't be able to post before i'd go, i'd can say allready, goddbye all and i'll see you again till september [:D]


EDIT: legoland off the planning...

hi there, me again somewhere close to milan. Lot of stuff from mirabilandia, got onride katun and sirra tonatte, plus offride stuff so 2 specials might are on the way! Plus i've got giant quality pictures from katun taken on purpose with doubled resolution, not the standard 1024 but this time 2048. Wallpapers could also be on the way. Then also to answer you question rob: read my trip report i can post when i'm home. I'm probably making some webpages from it to make it better readable plus then can i'd add some pictures to the report to make it more fun to read. Just have about 1 week patience. Then i'm home and i can work out everything.
