Hey everyone!

This year's "Big Europe Trip" for Theme Park Review was Scandinavia! We visited pretty much every major (and some not-so-major) park in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Norway.

There are a TON of photos (and we also took a lot of HD video that will be posted soon), so be prepared!

Enjoy the updates!

Today was Tivoli Gardens. The park was AWESOME! They treated us like royalty!

Our day started off with an hour ERT session on the "Rutchebanen" or the Scenic Railway...the classic traditional woodie built in 1914.

We then got to take a very in depth behind-the-scenes look at the ride, the work area, train shed, and climb all over the coaster...all while it was RUNNING!!!

We had some free time in the park and then was treated to another hour of ERT on Daemonen, the B&M floorless which could only be described as "cute." In fact, the ride is so cute that you just want to reach out and pet it.

But don't let it's cuteness fool you, it is very intense! It's almost like a "Floorless Batman."

After an hour riding, we had some local television crews with us to do interviews, etc and we got some ERT on Vertigo...the parks new INSANE flat ride that pulls 5 G's, flips you every way possible. It's just crazy.

Did I mention the park is insanely beautiful?

Anyway, onto the photos...

You should have ridden it in it`s original location- Panorama Park. It was a beautiful landscaped, nice little ride. I only hope BonBonLand adds some more theming to it.

Genau. Ich finde es ja schön dass die Bahn ein neues Zuhause hat - und Bonbonland hat sie erstaunlich gut integriert - aber das ist immer noch nichts gegen seine eigentliche Heimat!

youtube.com watch

Indeed. I really apreciate the ride having found a new home - and Bonbonland did a surprisingly good job in integrating it - but its still nothing compared to its original home!

Next was Hansa Park...the "original Legoland." And yes we know that this park isn't part of "Scandinavia" it was close enough to where it was easy to hit while touring the Scandi parks.

The park though, is undergoing many changes and has vastly improved since our last visit in 2005.

New this year was "Fluch von Novgorod" which is the first ever Gerstlauer launched Euro-Fighter!

It's kind of part Mystery Mine, part Revenge of the Mummy. We are told that many of the effects and theming won't be installed until this fall, but what they have already is still better than 90% of the theming on most US coasters!

Anyway, onto some photos...

Today we hit two parks - Sommerland Syd and Legoland.

Sommerland Syd isn't a very big park, but it seems like a nice place for locals to spend an afternoon. It's mostly a water park with a few rides. Seems like a perfect place for a school outing, etc.

They are also home to the world's first Vekoma Invertigo which oddly enough was great!

Next was Legoland Billund which is the "original" Legoland (well, after they left Hansa Park) and it's probably the nicest of them all. It's at least bigger than the other two I've been to and seemed to have the most attractions.

Their "Robocoaster" ride was very impressive being all indoors and not only allowed you to select the level of intensity, but also allowed you to select what maneuvers your Robocoaster arm did.

Onto some photos...

Let's see...it's cold...it's a bit rainy...what ride should we do first?

Fremdbild

Well, we're already a bit wet, so why not do the water ride? From the outside, the water ride looks quite standard...but let's have a look at the bizarre dark ride section...

Yes, you are seeing this correctly, the log flume is themed to cannibalism!

Here is a "never in America" type of moment. Let's just take a look at this for a second. These are kids baking bread over an open fire. Now, let's just think about this concept from the American lawyer's perspective. "So you want to have a bunch of kids stand around an OPEN FIRE and give them something RAW that could make them sick if they eat it? SURE!!! Let's put that in our park!" (This is why I like going to European parks!)

After Farup Sommerland we made a quick (but fun) stop to Tivoli Friheden.

- Cobra was running!
- It was quite "bizarre"
- SCAD Tower here!
- We had many SCAD Tower virgins in our group.
- Good dark ride!
- Park treated us very well and we had a great time!
