Generally start with a warm up coaster (using Liseberg as an example, like Lisebergbanan) then head to something good (like Helix/Valkyria). Hit up all the good creds/water/flat rides in a logical order geographically around the park then re-ride all the biggies.
Interaction is great, but I certainly dont want to BE the show/attraction. No involvement in shows (bleurgh) but love the roaming actors at Halloween events and scare mazes.
Love hearing first time reactions to Liseberg. Gorgeous little park. I was there the weekend before (judging from your 'pay day' comment) and it was pretty rammed too. The Sunday was muuuuuuch more civilised.
Was at the park last weekend, Helix was riding like **** off a shovel. The ejector was insane. Muuuch stronger than when I rode it for the first time a couple of years ago.
Valkyria- really great coaster, views from the top of the lift hill are awesome but those god damn vest restraints... they don’t lock but you still lose any decent airtime.
Themeing is fab, great soundtrack and some nice subtly projection mapping in the station.
Was extra special at night as...
Yep. Well respected member of the forums too. I get the impression the ‘scariest’ coaster was due to the theme and actors involved rather than the actual hardware!!
I have to say I'm LOVING this thread, just shows us how many awesome coasters we've had in Europe in the last 7-10 years or so with Taron, Helix, Hyperion, Wildfire, Shambhala, Untamed, Zadra etc...
I quite like that it's rubbish, such a contrast between the entrance and the rest of the park.. almost like a hidden secret, but I ****ing love PL so they can't do much wrong in my opinion!!
In my opinion, Shambhala is faaaar superior to Silver Star, SS is still fab and the section towards the end is wonderful. However, the airtime on Shammy is wonderful and the intensity just right to be able to whore.
Not Phantasialand... 70's monstrosity!
Alton is always pretty magical for me. Although I was really impressed with the new Toverland entrance recently!
Really enjoyed reading this report, but gutted to hear you didn't get the day you wanted at Liseberg... it's a magical place when everything is in working order.
I had the same opinion regarding the cost of beer, loved the beer garden though (overlooking a bunch of the rides- Loke/Balder/and...
I have the exact same opinion, EP or PL... both so EPIC. Maybe PL has the sliiiiiight edge because of Taron? BUT I adore the evening offerings/bars etc... at EP.
Hmm... my husband is 6ft5 and hasn't mentioned the headrest issue on Stealth/Rita/Red Force before... maybe if you're that bit taller it's more comfortable as your head is way above the rest rather than the back of it hitting half way up the rest?
