Scandi 2004 Day Five

Great great trip. As expected, after all the reviews, "Balder" is a top three woodie. It’s very difficult to find a part of it without airtime. Thanks to all the team of ECC for those five days.

Well, we didn’t think that anything would be able to beat Lego Land, but the last day of the Scandi Tour turned out to be rather special as well!. The Balder Coaster was the ultimate high to leave on, with every metre of track giving a bit of oompf to the ride, and more airtime in that one ride than every other coaster on the trip put together!!. Definitely the Megafobia of the mainland. J
Great times, and cannot wait for the next trip. See you all at a park soon.. J

I was looking forward to riding Balder and I was not disappointed. Fantastic first drop and airtime on every hill. A good ride in every seat.
This has been a great trip with new parks and rides for us to discover. Thanks to everyone involved in organising it and I look forward to the next scandi trip

What a way to finish a trip.exclusive riding on Balder. Yet more beer, more fun and 45 minutes of airtime-filled thrills on our number 1 woodie. Overall a superb trip.the 5 days have gone quickly, yet Bakken seems weeks ago! Thanks to all those responsible for organising the trip. It has been very special.

Wow! What a finish to a fantastic trip! Liseberg was a larger, more themepark-like park than the others we visited- But done well! I love how it’s in an urban setting. Wonderful to see it from my hotel room at the Gothia Towers.
Lisergbanen is a masterpiece of a terrain coaster-just the right mix of thrills and scenic tour.
Well, I love airtime so clearly Balder rolls right into my top five! It feels less like a steel coaster than Collossos at Heide Park. It’s absolutely a hybrid between wood and steel. But oh! That airtime on every hill and I love how steep the banking is. We rode both trains "cold" but they delivered and gained speed within the hour!
Thanks and cheers to all the organisers. Trip went very smoothly. I’ll see you next year in Japan!

Well just like the others, I’d like to say a huge thank you to all the trip organisers. Balder was the perfect ride to finish off one awesome trip - I look forward to the next.

Balder marks the second time in two days that I’ve had to rearrange the list of my favourite wooden coasters. My first ride in the back seat was somewhat underwhelming, but after the ride got warmed up it really started to fly, with some superb ejector seat airtime. Many thanks to everyone involved with organising this trip, and hopefully I’ll see as many of you as possible in Germany (and Belgium, Japan, .)

Another great trip with great company. Thanks to everyone involved in organising. Balder, the Scenic at Tivoli and Lisebergbanan are still three of the very best coasters in the world. Apologies to anyone who caught my hideous cold. Looking forward to Germany, USA, Belgium, Seattle/Vancouver, IAAPA.....

Balder! What can I say "AIRTIME" fast, airtime, smooth, quick, airtime, dazzling, airtime. Did I mention "AIRTIME" brilliant ride I can’t wait to return and ride again.
Looking forward to the German trip, see you all soon. Peace.

We saved the best for last. Liseberg was wonderful as ever. Lasse showed greeted us last evening and again this morning. The Lisebergbanan kicked ass!! Had a great time on that ride (even though the park was invaded with school children working on class projects).
Balder again lived up to its reputation from last year. INCREDIBLE. I love the ride even more this year. The two tunnels and three partial ones, added a different element to the ride. Don’t wait forever to ride Balder - it’s the one coaster you don’t want to miss!!
Unfortunately the trip is now over. It was fast, furious and fun. We have a lot of great photos and trip reports to look at until.we return again!!
