http://www.somecoasters.com/main/coasters/euromir/euromir.html . Looks
*STUNNING*. I can't believe the structure on this thing. It's like... • it's
floating around between office buildings. :)

Whoa. That's it, that's all I can say. Just whoa. Just <insert expletive>
whoa.

LOL!!!!!!! Go look for pictures of Superman Ultimate Escape / Vertical
Velocity. Or Millennium Force. Or... oh jeez, there are so many structurally
beautiful coasters out there!

I need to ride that. Wonder how far from Geneva that is... Geneva is my
euro-opportunity this summer, if all goes well.

I'm not sure! The park is located in... weird, the website aparently doesn't
quite say.

"Europa-Park is situated in the so called "Three-land-corner" Germany,
France and Switzerland. You can get there via Autobahn A5: Exit 57 Ettenheim
(if you're coming from the north) or exit 58 Herbolzheim (from south).
Please follow the signposts. The Strasbourg Airport is only 30 min. away.
Basel/Mulhouse about 45 min."

They're building a hypercoaster for next year! While you're in Germany, you
must try and check out... crap, it's not Heide Park. It's another
smaller-park. I'll find out what it is when I get home for you. Anyway, they
just put in an Intamin Hypercoaster (ala Millennium Force, Superman Ride of
Steel, etc...) called "Expedition GeForce" with a spiraling first drop. It
looks INSANE! You can look at pictures of it here:

(I'm sure it says on there what park it's at, but I'm already late for work.
:) )
