Colorado Adventure at Phantasialand last Sunday.

After not visiting since 2009 I've been back at Phantasialand and the park has changed a lot since then. Chiapas was a wonderful addition to the park and the chances of the past few years had some sacrifices I did mis but the park looked as beautiful as ever, those sacrifices weren't in vein. Expected big Queue's but this was the biggest of them all day. Colorado again since 2008 been a long time and lot of chances. Some pictures of the queue. New restaurant, had to take dinner here when the day would come to an end. But first the park. We took the long road to Fantasy so we could grab a snack. In th meanwhile some pictures of Chiapas. Chiapas steep drop. Looked a lot steeper in real-life then on pictures. Some pictures from the bridge. Still on our way to get some snacks. Backwards. We took the mountain route. Black Mamba wouldn't want to mis it but not yet time. Still on route to get something to eat. So I took some pictures, because I never take them, or so I thought (ended up with 141 pictures 31 where bad never did that before) Some pictures of Alt Berlin after eating and heading towards Fantasy for the Winja's. Fantasy part of the park looked so much different. Entering Wuze town. Inside Wuze Town on our way to Winja's fear & force. Temple of the Nighthawk, boring ride, but still a must do. Our route back to Mexico for Chiapas. Looking forward to it. Still wondering what this means. Some pictures inside the queue. Uuh Hawaii or Mexico? Some props in the station. A picture after rinding this great ride. Still angry about the Germans who made me go in the front of the boat and my girlfriend in the back with them four in between us, still in the front was awesome. We would do Black Mamba next but had to take a small stop before that. That stop gave me a opportunity to take a picture of the new (bad) color of Colorado. And now we got our chance of Black Mamba. On our way to Mystery for River Quest and Mystery Castle. Queuing for River Quest, easily the best rapid I've ever done. Still. Mystery Castle this was my first ever time riding it regret that it wasn't sooner. Inside Mystery Castle. In the morning we did Fear now we did Force. We decided to queue for Maus but the queue was too long for our doing and the ride broke down. So we went to Mexico. And Jesus lead me the way to this cave to ride Talocan. Old cars do something with me. Alt Berlin. Hollywood tours looked worse then ever. Time for a upgrade or Miley Cyrus with her wrecking ball. Black Mamba round number two. Colorado walk on. We toke the new route under Colorado to ride Chiapas again. Station. Beautiful. This picture looked familiar. Remember now. Eating with a vieuw. Why this wall? Because that was where we got the food. Full stomach and on our way to home. On our way to the exit. Anyway a great day. Still one of the best parks I visit so far. Now it's waiting for my first real trip which are Holiday park and Tripdrill, but have to way to almost August for that.

That's impressive theming. I love it. That the darker shade makes it so much better I didn't see coming.

Thought this park was for kids. Looks really good, looking forward to see it in person in July.

Sounds good, Definitely going to ride it when I come to Florida.

Next up is Phantasialand, going back after my last visit in 2009 and look at the major changes these past few years.

Finally a location for this ride. strated to wonder if it was still on the tabel. Good to hear something.

Xpress: Platform 13, last weekend.

Yesterday I visited Walibi Holland because of Xpress: Platform 13. Looked great. Xpress Platform 13. Vekoma boomerang. Sherwood forest. Robin Hood, on the lift I asked one important question: Why do I keep doing this? Goliath with Black supports. Good to see the black train, 1 it looks good, 2 fits with the supports. Condor's new color. (Still not my thing) A ride at El Rio Grande. Xpress: platform 13. A visit at club Psyké. Have been close to 2 topspins this year and both I didn't do, but had to do it again. Because doing rides once on a day is to boring. Some pictures of the new queue. I have to buy a new watch. Mine stops at 06:59 and goes over in 07:00 after that. One look back before going home. Anyway great day. Xpress new queue looks great the best at the park. Hope they keep up the good work.

I have made some changes. England and Sweden have been pushed back, instead a Spain trip (if I can). So 2014 looks like this for me: Been to: - Efteling. - Heide park. - Movie Park Germany. - Walibi Holland. To come: - Phantasialand (First visit) - Holiday park (First visit) - Erlebnispark Tripsdrill (First visit) - PortAventura park (first visit) - Parque Warner Madrid (First visit) (Unsure) - Walibi Belgium (Revisit)

That video looks really good. Gets me exited about my summer plans wich will include a visit to Holiday park for this ride. It's a ride that I wished to ride for a long time and this year I'm going to.

Love the fact that is say's "Kano"vijver ("canoe"pond) just a joke on how it was supposed to be. Its very pleasing seeing the application. Also there where some rumors the ride gets an old mine theme and I heard the word "mijn gebouw" (Mine building) was linked to the application, so that could be something to expect here. Can't wait till september and see some action, and I can't wait to see the construction myself.

Alright need to go America soon after seeing that POV. Too bad it takes years before I have a chance to ride it. Man looks good.

Well in a way yes. The spokesman of the park had an intervieuw with a fan site and when asked if B&M would build it he said that he couldn't bring such information out but someone who knows a thing or two on coastes would know that that wasn't a thing the could keep a secret. So ina a way he did confrim it. Anyway lates rumors also speak that it would be 30 meters of the ground and a 7,5 meter deep tunnel at the end of the drop. So for me the rumors are very likely, I mean the park can't go over the tree line and all B&M dive coasers after sheikra always had a inversion and a floorless train, so not suprised if a splash comes to the ear eather. Also very happy it would be somewhat longer than Krake, just need to see what they mean with somewhat, knowing the Efteling it could be 1 element.

A new last (rode it yesterday). van Helsing's Factory. Surprisingly good.

Had a new visit yesterday, Movie park Germany this time. Weather wasn't great, so less pictures. Arrival at the park. Starting of with van Helsing's Factory. Great suprise of the day. MP Xpress, now I'm halfway through the SLC's I will ride this year, looking forward to have the Vekoma headache *cough*. Nice car. Mack mouse, always a fun ride. Bandit, I thought the retracking would have improved the thing, guess I'm wrong. Ice Age dark ride. Van Helsing's Factory was so much fun we needed 2 rides. Some awesome cars around van Helsing's Factory. So had a great day, too bad about the weather but was doable. Anyway's ready for my next park which one is still in question, not up to me.

^ Did they really place the camera under the nose on that black block? Anyway how funny it looks the onride looks great at night love the fact that the main light works like a car, from the train it self. Man can't wait too ride this to bad I decided to wait 2 years.

I'm back from a day 3 day trip to Heide park (only yesterday we where at the park). So here's a new photo trip report. Back at the park after 2 years. Shadow of Krake, ready to ride again. Flug der Dämonen works so would be next. But first ride of the day was Krake. Krake Feed the Krake. Time for my first winged coaster and 50th credit, Flug der Dämonen. It was a great ride, worth a visit. More Flug der Dämonen, there are a lot of it. Looks good. Lug der Dämonen? Limit time, regret it. Tricky one it was hot dog time. Grottenblitz, also fun. Dubble Immlemann. Ship wreck. Big loop. Friendly goodbye for you go. Nearly got one in my feet, those near misses are good. More of Flug der Dämonen. Really love this fence, where can I buy one. Logo's around the station. Colossos time. Broke down car. Water rides always fun. Krake time nr. 2. Final ride Flug der Dämonen to close of the day. Had a great time. First time riding a winged coaster have to say I go with the others, enjoyable ride but nothing really special. Tomorrow we have the next park Movie park Germany.

I heard a small rumor about the place of the new coaster. Note it's a rumor but apparently they build it behind VH, Interesting place if you ask me. Source image and rumor. Rumored place. Anyway I have calmed down after the news (I was just so happy about the first B&M so close at home), I started to wonder: how about the tree top hight limit the park has? Wonder how they're going around that. (Like Oblivion or build a raise the ground or have an agreement.) I'm looking forward to 2015 more and more. I think a visit this winter to check out constrution is needed.

Looking forward to see the construction of this ride. But yeah the 2015 already send my mind straight to oblivion, nice hint.

Flug der Dämonen Yesterday. Great ride.

Well wasn't expecting a thing next year, this makes me already love the new CEO of the Efteling. The first B&M here in the Netherlands and it will be at my home park. Never saw it coming and now I'm so exited for a visit next year. Finaly they build a ride to thrill more then a family style, I've been waiting for it a couple of years now.

Me neither, just a normal family style wooden coaster would be enough for them. But no, they just end up with the most awesome woodie I've ever seen. Never would have imangined myself to travel to a ZOO for just one coaster, but hey if I can see animals and have a awesome ride I'm in for that. By the way have now seen some pictures (was to much into the stunning video's). Man love terrain coasters, this is just one reason why.

Never would have imagine I would be sure of a park like Kolmarden 2 years upfront. I always said I would go to the first Rocky Mountain here in Europe, so 2016 I'm not going to mis Wildfire. Amazing looking ride. Just Wow.

Sure looks like an upgrade for Xpress. Stunning actually.
