Re: Grona Lund 2013 - StarFlyer?
There are a lot of upset people on the park's facebook for the removal of the Topscan.
I can't seriously believe that the park don't delete some of the comments, people of that age should not be using those words, and the park should not have them on their page.
On the Star Flyer, when it was announced as part of the expansion plans back in 08-09 they said they would make it the tallest in the world, witch at the time would be 100m. The expansion got cancelled and the Star Flyer is now being built inside the original park, so it will be interesting to see how tall it will be, seeing as taking the record might not be possible anymore.

You should've seen Busch Gardens Williamsburg's Facebook before they finally started blocking people a few months ago. It was much worse than Tivoli's predicament, atm.
Spot on, although I'm also not sure exactly how tall it will be.

^Seeing what that thing is just looks amazing. Star Flyers? Not so much by comparison.
Are they taking out the Topscan due to maintenance and cost issues?

Re: Grona Lund 2013 - StarFlyer?
Plus they've already got a massive drop tower (tallest in Europe at some point I think), and I seem to remember an S&S shot tower as well? Yeah, they're different rides, but does Gronalund really need another huge tower squeezed into that tiny park.
It's a shame really; they're so creative with their coasters given the space they have. It's too bad they're not as creative with their flats.

No, it has to go in order to fit this in.
There might be a slight chance that the Topscan gets moved to Skara Sommarland or Furuvik, witch are also owned by the same concern, but I kind of doubt that myself. Hopefully it's true tough.

It will be exciting to see what will happen, however it is still a great pity to see the top scan go, seeing as it was in my opinion the best flat ride in the park (and by quite far, despite Fritt Fall). Oh well, with a lot of luck they will as suggested above move it to Skara Sommarland or Furuvik, which in the first case would be much closer. We'll see.

These things sure are popping up everywhere. What's with the sudden Starflyer boom anyway?
The FB hate is reasonable since Top Scans are brilliant. I know I'd be fuming if Thorpe or LWV got rid of theirs.

It has to be B, because they cost around 2€ million for the 80 meter model, that's about the same as a Zamperla Giant Discovery, witch are the biggest flat available.
I think that they are so popular because of their height.
They add to the parks skyline, and looks very intimidating, while still being for the whole family.

Re: Grona Lund 2013 - StarFlyer?
Could they not fit in a vekoma junior boomerang?
Considering just how compact these VJBs can be, it undoubtedly fits adequately, and for the benefits to the park, who'll lament the loss of a topscan?
Anyway, forget the skyflyer, forget the topscan (RIP):

As much as the skyfler would profoundly impact the skyline...this'll be better.
