You can believe me, Raptor deserve to visit Gardaland and ride it

Hello everyone, Aurélie, Cyril, Priscilia, Florent, Elodie & I visited Italy on April the 29 & 30 and May the 1st. The weather was not that good during the 2 first days but day 3, he burn us ! 1st day was at Mirabilandia, the entrance of this park is pretty beautiful and let you face the lake inside, all the rides are around it! It still left a little bit of theming around the flat rides. But we get there for two awesome things : Katun and Ispeed. They are in my top 3 with Expedition GeForce, those two are amazing. After that day we went back to Lago Di Garda, where we had to spend 2 nights. Days 2 & 3 were at Gardaland to ride Raptor. First of all I read lots of yours review on Raptor and was a little bit worried about the quality of that new B&M, but I think my opinion count : nobody talks about the steep first drop it has, steep enough to make you fly few seconds after the turn around you get another taste of speed, the rest of the layout is fun but miss speed! The seats are very comfy, I'm a little bit fat as you'll see in the pictures and the thing about the seatbelt was right it was really just for me to not close it, but I enjoyed a lot the ride, it's definitely not a top ten but it's neither a bottom top, the themed area is just perfect for me. For the rest of the park, Gardaland is kind of Disneyland for Italians, park is clean, staff is gentle, some of the rides are really well themed, special mention for "Fuga Da Atlantide" and "Raptor". We spend a wonderful week-end there thanks to Mirabilandia & Gardaland. Thanks for reading, Fabien. Pictures time: Here we are That's the entrance The HUGE wheel facing the lake Leprotto Express Stunt show is spectacular Niagara shower boat Our group in front the bus of Reset Time for Katun Madness That drop learn you how to fly like a bird Loop-de-loop High and powerfull 0G This helix is forceful You can order this thing a pizza, amazing! Time for Ispeed action 1st launched coaster in Europe It's an awesome ride Extreme airtime This part is sooooo fast Upside down Elodie & I front row Back to the hotel for the first night near Gardaland Visiting the town Yeah, Gardaland I don't understand the theme of this one??? They gonna be wet Helix of Ortobruco Tour A credit is a credit, lets scream loud Inferis is good, once inside choose your destiny! Saint or Sinner? The drop tower deliver the goods Hairtime Fuga Da Atlantide is gooood nice theme here they goes Is that acceptable amount of water? It's beautiful Birdeye view Sequoia Adventure, not that bad, but not good also Magic Mountain, Magic new train, Magic moment SLC Blue Tornado Going down Those guys were making the signature move for the picture but that moment was 15 seconds ago Yes, Raptor was awesome The drop That drop really delivers B&M air over here You receive some water there closer look headchoppers everywhere Awesome nice Other angle Love that part Time to leave Gardaland I hope you enjoy this report

Photo TR Bobbejaanland Official opening DIZZ
fdelhomez replied to zilliboy's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I did enjoy your report and hope to see soon more pictures of Dizz in action! Thanks. -
I did create a topic without seeing this one, apologise, by the way, I did use the Disneyland Resort Paris app, and it's very useful : real time queue lines, what's new at the park, and the map also.

Have you found anything interesting on the AppStore for the coasters entousiasts? What is your favourite app?

Gardaland / Raptor
fdelhomez replied to Schwarzkopf's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hi, I've just came back from my Mirabilandia/Gardaland trip, and I have a different point of view on Raptor, exept the seatbelt that really is short (I had to press on the restraint as strong as possible to lock it) but the ride really was a good surprise to me, the first drop delivers some air even if it seems not so high, it's steep! I rode Raptor 6 times, i felt acceleration after the first turn, agree with you for the rest of the layout, seems to have the same speed all the time! Inversions where fun to me, also liked the back to station part, and bought the ride dvd that is well made! I'm gonna post it on coastertube. Fabien -
Hi Robb, I tried to change the name of one of my video "mrabilandia 2010" into "mirabilandia 2010" via the view/edit my video, but I can't do it. Can you change it for me or explain how to do it?

Nice report! If I remember correctly, Dark Raver also is the name of a gabber dj right? The music seems to be its style.

Thanks to you, reading my report

Hi everyone, This is my first Photo TR, so i hope doing it great! Elodie (my girlfriend) and I, decided to visit Walibi Sud-ouest (previously called Walibi Aquitaine) for the first time, get 3 new credits and also see the new style of Walibi's Park, new theme, new Walibi characters, musics everywhere! For the little story Walibi got now a rock band and they are facing Walibi's naughty brother Scratch! I really be surprised to see how beautiful the park is, build around a little castle that is used as a restaurant (a buffet), sometimes nice theme for the attractions, sometimes not! But the best thing of this park is the staff, they REALLY, REALLY, take care of you, always asking if everythings are right, even the operators wants to know if your experience on the rides are ok! Enough talking, the video and picture time! [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=Walibi_Sud-ouest_2011_p9gw[/coastertube] Here is the new theme entrance Yeah Walibi Here's the plan Coaster track spoted (remind me of Donkey Kong on N.E.S) New sign for all the Walibi's Park Elodie and the new Walibi, damn he's muscle New store, also for all the Walibi's Parks See! It's beautiful! Aquachute - water slides In this area, parents can walk with their children on a donkey The log flume entrance The drop With some random riders Close up! Watersplash Behind the restaurant castle That's the original Walibi's movie, Rokken Roll, it's a 4D theater, the movie is pretty good but still missing some "4"D effects Splash Battle Well themed Squirt!!! Tam Tam Tour That was boring, nothing interristing happened The little train Chair swing; with Michaël Jackson's tracks played behind New merchandise New sea lions show Well done! Easy! She is diving! La coccinelle - same as Walibi Rhone-Alpes Behind the trees Family friendly ride Scratch - previously called Le Zig-zag is a wild mouse Falling down - the last curves were very intense! "Look honey, a new painted Boomerang, see?" See, new orange juice paint! Test before opening - everythings right, but they have to press the restraint pedal to open them up Vertical loop! Backward loop broke me down! Now it's the moment to leave you walibi See ya!

Roller Coasters in the Raw HD! On Blu-Ray!
fdelhomez replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
First of all, I try my copy of this blu-ray on a 720P TV HD, and after just the intro..... Ho my goodness, my eyes.... hurts, how could this be possible, a perfectly crystal clear picture, coasters seems so touchable, maybe am I dreaming?! No! Manta bring me back to earth, a I mean water, That's just incredible, a very goooood surprise, your footages are perfect, as is the picture and the sound! I can't imagine in 1080P what this blu-ray could give! I'm in France, the fantastic blue case comes in just 5 days! It really is better than some of my cinema blu-ray discs. It's a MUST HAVE! Roller Coasters In The Raw HD Vol 1 is the BEST vidéo released actually, and that, by far. -
