Black Mamba has the smoothest Corkscrews of any ride I've ever been on. I could only describe them as Bizarre.

Like Thriller, I am VERY interested in knowing if anyone asked about the future of Olympia Looping : I would put that one in my top five Must-ride list. Since you met the owner, did he say anything?

I know quite a lot about Donkeys!

Although Europa Park has a bunch of well themed coasters Black Mamba kicks all other german coasters a$$es themingwise. And you weren`t lucky cause it ran well that day...Black Mamba runs well EVERYDAY by now...

Hi guys ,

Today I saw some TPR guys @ my work in Walibi World. I was standing on the flying dutchman goldmine. It was really cool to see some of you. Heard that this was a extra day beside the EU trip. I hoped you all liked the ERT on Goliath and the rest of the day. I will see you all sooner or later on a trip,I'm just to young to join a trip right now. Greetings from Holland!

TPR finished off the 2010 Europe Trip at Efteling, where they had ERT on the park's brand new GCI, which comes complete with a dragon! Let's have a look, shall we?

TPR starts out with over an hour of ERT on the world's newest wooden roller coaster and the first racing woodie to be built in ten years: George and the Dragon or Joris en de Draak.

Joris en de Draak is serious fun! And props to the park and GCI for the train modifications to allow a lower height restriction than other GCI woodies. (You only need to be about 44" to ride.)

Joris en de Draak is the PERFECT ride for Efteling! It's fast, out-of-control fun, but not so intense that younger riders can enjoy it too! And did we mention the theming, station, and landscaping looks great as well? Great job GCI and Efteling!

Wow! It's over already?! Is the reason that the last two trips have been so short due to "get two for the price of one" deal talked about back in October?

Oh well, I still have enjoyed these updates! :)

^ I wouldn't really call either of them 'short' - I can personally say that I got brilliant value for money:time on the UK trip, and was utterly knackered (still am!) by the end of it, which I doubt I'd be after a 'short' trip.

Wow, those photos really show the excitement of riding a racing coaster! I want to ride one now! :)
This attraction looks very well done and it sounds like it's a great fit for the park.
