    Have you ever had a ride prediction that turned out right?

    Re: Have you ever had a ride prediction that turned out righ Personally I do not generally make predictions but rather hope for something to happen, and that has come true. I recall thinking back in 2009 how fun it would be if they got rid of the observation ride at the Liseberg tower and built...

    Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster Not sure if people care too much at this time, however they posted a few pictures of computer animations and a small-scale model on how they are planning the queue/station to be: http://projekthelix.se/stationsbyggnaden-en-viktig-byggsten/...

    Grona Lund | StarFlyer

    Re: Grona Lund 2013 - StarFlyer? 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...

    Liseberg | Helix | Mack Megacoaster

    Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster No, since they replaced the corkscrew that was previously there with the inside top hat. The layout was previously Launch 2-Twisted airtime Hill-Corkscrew, now it is Launch 2-Inside tophat-airtime hill

    Liseberg | Helix | Mack Megacoaster

    Re: Liseberg | Such exciting news since the park is located a mere 3 hours away! Perhaps, but personally I would think they would begin with the parts that does not interfere with Lisebergsbanan and Flumeride to keep them open as long as possible. Though who knows. But I hope they will be...

    Loudest chain lifts?

    Uncertain if it still has it or if it was just an opening season problem, however Tranan at Skara Sommarland had a painfully loud lift section when I visited (early June 2009).

    Speed Hump / Camel Hump query

    It might not appear like it, but in the rear car of Twister at Gröna Lund there are some incredible airtime on a few humps, especially the one diving under Jetline.

    The best drop towers in world

    I have only ridden two, Fritt Fall at Gröna Lund and Atmosfear at Liseberg. Both are rather amusing to ride, however I believe Fritt Fall is more entertaining despite being the shorter and additionally being at sea level. This is because the cars break further down. The view on both are really...

    Faarup Sommerland | Orkanen | Vekoma SFC

    Re: Faarup Sommerland announces new rcoaster for 2013! Since it appears to be the same type as Kvasten it will probably be a great roller coaster, and since there is also Lynet, maybe a park to aim for! However I hope that they will have two train operation, eventhough it seems to brake at the...
