Phantasialand Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think I'd suffer from a hart attack tomorrow. @multimueller: Have you also ridden Raik an how does it hold up as a Family ride? Really curious about that. -

I kind of feel bad for Raik for being overshadowed by Taron. The whole area looks amazing, great to see an area in which any moment a train might burst through the building, having it go over and under you or really close by. Can't wait to just find any bench in that area or a rock and just sit and enjoy myself. -
Phantasialand Discussion Thread
RCT3Bross replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I never understood these kind of post. I mean if I have to say now this ride probably will be by number 4 (after Schwur, GeForce and Blue Fire and before Black Mamba). I can understand you might not expect too much after the POV but this ride will reach the number 1 spot of many while by others it's not even top 10. I agree the Lay-out is okay seems like nothing to special a great solid ride, but experience (wich include theming and music) I think adds to every experience. I agree this might not be a ride that by us fans may not reach a number 1 spot soon, yet it looks tons of fun and that is whats it all about, right? And just to make it clear, I'm not ranting, I'm not attacking either, I just like to know the thought progress. -

Wow their really lucky no one died and I mean really lucky. And do my eye's deceive me or did it really come off at almost the end of the first drop? If so that must have had it's full velocity. -

I feel really bad for all the people who went out of their way to get to the park today just to ride Wildfire. But safety first, hope to hear some good news soon. -
Toverland really is the park of surprises, I wasn't expecting much from my first visit back i 2013 but when I came there I had more fun then some bigger parks I visited. And Robb I totaly understand you, while yes I like to meet you some day, if that required you to be around that kind of people I rather never meet you at all. Have fun the rest of the trip.

I also got to try the VR in Mount Mara. Although I had 2 major complaints: 1. They open the ride without VR and reopen the ride at 1 o clock with. Which is okay if they still played the video at the lift, they're now better off to go full VR. 2. I'm not a fan to see ride ops collect the VR glasses and then distribute these to the next riders without any cleaning. Other the that the VR is great. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one to enjoy it. looking forward to the next Trip Report.

How Often Do You Go To Your Local Park?
RCT3Bross replied to sfmmrules!'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Efteling, Once a month, 12 months a year. -
^^ Uhmm I don't know. I'm Dutch it's a brand of watch here. ^Well every seat was quite wet from what I saw the middle seats are probably a bit dryer as the water comes in from the sides. I sat down and water already sifted through my cloths, the seats where covered in thumb big water spots al over, so I have to say quite wet. First time I also lifted my arm up to protect my face and was expecting some drops, ended up with the feeling that A bucket was thrown into the air and it all landed on me. I hope that explanation helps, with all my rambling.

Yesterday I made a trip back to Walibi Belgium for the first time since 2013. Had lots of fun but the park seemed to have stand still. But without further infirmation the pictures: Back again for the Pulsar. Early in the park waiting for the gate to open. Good things come to those who wait, was very quick at Pulsar as they where still test driving. Took the time to snap a picture. Then the queue was open but wait there is no boat here. Wrong angle and only missed the only shot. Yeah the boat. After lots of waiting even at the end of the queue, I did the first ride with visitors of the day. My conclusion about the ride: It's awesome. To my favorite coaster of the park, and it still remains. Pulsar is great but Psyké has the build up launch I so much love. As I passed Turbine's motor I noticed it was quiet. Turned out it had broken down. But the ride was soon back up and because I stood at the gate while they repaired the ride I got a sorry pass that allowed me to skip a queue at choice. Did ride it as the first group after the breakdown now having the sorry pass at hand. So next I figured to ride Calamity mine. Was looking around at the theming as there was no queue and when I reached the station there was nobody to stop me and the ride gate was open, so almost fell into the train. Wasn't this themed to the Dalton brothers of Lucky Luke? Remember that sorry pas, well you had to give the ride then and there, I asked for Loup Garou guess I lucked out biggest queue I saw all day. Vekoma woodie, enough said. SLC's are the best rides ever. *notice brain hangs out and puts it back in* No joking put I think the SLC's have great lay-outs but yeah they're a little bit rough. On my way to Cobra noticed these flowers. Fountains. Pulsar, those spikes are really far away from each other. Boomerangs. Le Palais du Génie, Vekoma madhouse I love them. Very basic shooter. Easy to score though. Okay an other ride in Pulsar, noticed the logo act's like an heart beat with sound and all when the boat turns onto the track, nice feature. Turn table station is really smooth, Got everybody really pumped up before the actual ride starts. The camelback gets better each time you fly over it, it's the best place for the launch. On a side note, those wheels are huge. Really wished the ride would skim the water the first time around just enough for effect. Both spikes have an awesome feeling. You really feel the force the boat hits the water with, it's quite an impact. And yes lots of water will hit you in the boat. Why ride the log-flume? Why not? Flashy back. End of the my day, with a cup of coffee and a view. Just a quick stop here. And it was time to leave. Had a really good time, Pulsar is a great addition and I hope more of these will show up.
