TowersStreet European Cup: Playoff 3

[Martin]

And so we enter week 2 of the competition for another two rounds of regional playoffs. This time we're off to the Nordic countries, and as before, 10 rides enter, five rides leave, and you have five votes each. It was very difficult to just pick 10 coasters, especially after the first two groups where there seemed to have been heavy bias towards rides people had been on, so I've tried to go for a selection that people will be broadly familiar with while still being pretty diverse in style. Again, next closed season we'll have a much bigger pool. So without further ado, here in a randomised order are the coasters competing in this group!

Thundercoaster, TusenFryd


Jetline, Grona Lund


Balder, Liseberg


Twister, Grona Lund


Juvelen, Djurs Sommerland

 

[Martin]

Lisebergbanan, Liseberg


Piraten, Djurs Sommerland


Helix, Liseberg


Wildfire, Kolmarden Zoo


Daemonen, Tivoli Gardens

 

[Enter Valhalla]

I think that the Tivoli scenic railway should be included in this. It’s a really fun ride and I’d actually put it ahead of Daemonen and maybe even, dare I say it, about on a par with Balder!

 

[Sammy]

Soooooo. Not quite as tough for me to call as the 4th playoff however still quite difficult!

My top 5 from this group, in no particular order, is as follows:

• Helix
• Wildfire
• Balder
• Piraten
• Lisebergbanan

For reference I have ridden 4 of the coasters in this group; Helix, Lisebergbanan, Balder and Daemonen.

 

[John]

Helix and Wildfire are the obvious top 2 in what is probably one of the weakest groups - I don't think I'd vote for any of the others had they been in group 4.
Of the rest, I've gone for the two Djurs coasters and Balder, though I could have easily fanboy voted for one of the Schwarzkopfs.

Out of the 10 I've been on all but Daemonenenenen, which doesn't look all that great.
