I just returned from an insane daytrip to Holiday Park. A park that is just 3,5 hours driving for me.

I stood up at 5:15am after getting ready and stuff. Even chatting to some in the chatroom here, I left at 6:15am. 3,5 hours later and a 15 minute break somewhere halfway. I arrived at 10am sharp! Weather was awesome, sun was shining, temperature around 25?????????C. It looked pretty crowded at the entrance, but those were mainly some schooltrips.
After buying a Platinum Pass for the park, I'd first walked around and ended up at the freefall tower. Rode it like 3 times over the day. Only I didn't really took a picture from it. For the rest I've only done an EGF marathon. I've got around 25 rides today. Not bad imo. I'd even took a stroll around the park and some big photo Sessions.
Maximum waiting today: 20 minutes. Minimum wait: about 5 minutes. [:)]
Ride stays good in the first part. I love that first drop backseat! On the left side you'd get some cool lateral g's and on the right side it's just an insane ejector air. First hill: Stays as powerfull as always. A whopping -1.5g for the feeling. (Although I think it's more like -1g but the duration of 3-4 sec airtime makes it feel so much stronger.) A good overbanked turn and then into the 2nd whopping airtime hill which feels even more insane as the first. (Because you now have 2 bruises on your legs from the airtime on the drop and first hill, AND the headchopper while experiencing -1g for another 3-4 sec, makes it so insane.)
After some turns the first trim pops up and the ride starts to let down. (Wasn't hot enough today for a good ol' classic #1 Rollercoaster ride.[:(])

Enough talking, time for a photo bomb! Beware: ImageHigh EGF ContentImage [lol]

Look! It's the freefall tower in the distance!

Image
Yes! They have more rides than just EGF and the Freefall as Holiday park. Like this funny log-flume!

I did also a ride on the breakdance type of ride. It's fun to spin play with forces in these rides. (Spinning! [8D])

Great pictures, sounds like you had a great day. I've always loved EGF, hopefully I'll make it there at least once in the future.
