  4. I am sorry for the double post, but they also announced a new Dark Ride for 2019. Walibi Belgium will get first ever Erratic® Dark Ride from Alterface Today, a lot of things have been announced about Walibi Belgium's future attractions, and there is even more! This time it's about the interactive dark ride that will open in the spring of 2019 in the Ali Baba section of the park. Walibi will get the first ever Erratic® attraction from Alterface in collaboration with ETF Ride Systems. The zone 7: Ali Baba, from Walibi Belgium's plans, will finally get a real attraction after many years. In the former Ali Baba Palace, there will be a new modern dark ride. Originally it was planned to be a spinning theater, but now it turns out that it is another type of ride. Alterface unveiled at the EAS conference that they are working with ETF Ride Systems for this brand new attraction. So, the park will get a second attraction with trackless vehicles after the successful dark ride Challenge of Tutankhamon. This new concept of Alterface has got a trademark called Erratic® ride. Freely translated "erratic" means "moves in an unexpected way", and that is exactly the idea of this new attraction. Guests will board a trackless vehicle and, depending on the settings of the attraction, will drive in certain rooms. This vehicle system is just known from Challenge of Tutankhamon, but also from Ratatouille at Disneyland Paris and Symbolica at Efteling. Unlike those attractions, there is no fixed course and you may experience another course when you re-ride the attraction (more than the three tours of Symbolica). For example, the transition is not just turning to the next scene, but they can let the vehicles do certain actions like fast-rotating. The system can be used to offer a nice attraction on a limited area. For example, you can use dead-end and go in many directions instead of driving in one direction. By way of illustration, we can take the Ratatouille attraction. In one of the later parts of the attraction, the vehicles suddenly go into a separate dome for a scene and thus the three vehicles are split. Then they all drive together to the end. Thus, with this system, it is possible, for example, to drive back one of the vehicles, let one move forward and the last one just changes in the dome. This is to prove that the park itself can choose how they want to fill in the ride. In fact, there is also a possibility to let visitors choose their own route. For example, visitors who get better scores can do faster and more scenes than others who need more time. The challenge here is the story of the attraction. Inventors will have to think about how they can use the technology and provide beautiful transitions between the scenes. For example, do you want to return to a scene you have previously done? Do you let the vehicles meet each other, or not? Alterface therefore offers its own IP: Popcorn Revenge. The story has not yet been fully elaborated and there are still no images available but the base is there; As a visitor you go to the movie and want to eat popcorn, but the popcorn are done with being eaten. They escape and prefer to play in the movies themselves. To collect them back: the super hero popcorn, the pirate popcorn, the magician popcorn ... What it all looks like is not known yet, but it will be based on existing and well-known movie scenes. Effects will be done with video mapping but also screens, real-world decors, lighting effects, etc. The shooting system is not confirmed yet. On the concept art, we already see that there are seven different rooms next to the station building. There is enough time to 2019 to finalize everything, but this first glance promises a unique attraction for Walibi Belgium. Source
  5. Wildfire Fenix (Toverland) or Icon (Blackpool Pleasure Beach)?
  6. Do you like it more than Rock 'n' Roller Coaster? Because I do! And from what I have heard, I might have a rather unpopular opinion..
  7. Planet
  8. Probably Mack Rides. From what I can see from the layout, it looks fairly similar to Flash at Lewa Adventure; Out and back, and then the twisty section.
  9. Toverland said that the new area will open in the Summer of 2018. No exact opening date yet, though.
  10. What, you mean the picture or we can download a 3D file? Whoops, I may have used the wrong words.. With the 3D model, I mean the picture. I am sorry for the confusion.
  11. That looks stunning! What an awesome addition to an already amazing park. Can't wait to ride Fenix and experience Avalon. Also, I love the storyline.
  12. Layout Megacoaster Walibi Belgium confirmed The layout of the new Megacoaster that will open in 2021, was rumored for quite a while. Now, there are new official documents from the park that confirm this layout exactly. There is also a 3D model of the future rollercoaster available. After the twisted first drop, there is a large airtime hill followed by an (inside) tophat. Then there are a few airtime hills, quick transitions and turns. There are also some statistics in the documents. For example, the roller coaster will be 53 meters high, giving you a top speed of 114km/h. Kiddiecoaster There are suddenly many new details known of Walibi Belgium's major investment plan. Now, there is also a design with the layout of the kiddiecoaster layout for 2019 revealed. The layout is shows that is a Zierer rollercoaster of the Force-190 model, which can be found in the Plohn and Kolmarden theme parks. The height is 8m, the length of the track is 190m and it reaches a speed of 40km/h. Thrillride Yesterday, it was also known that Walibi Belgium will open a thrillride, at the place of the former Enterprise. Now it is also known which attraction it will be: a Skyfly from Gerstlauer. Slides Aqualibi But there is also news from Aqualibi. A new drawing shows the design of the new slides that will open in 2022/2023. A new sliding tower will be built of 17.5m high with three slides. And further Also, some new concept arts were released from the new entrance area of Walibi Belgium and Aqualibi. There are also new concept arts from the area around Loup Garou. The Cocinelle, who will move to the former Ferris wheel location, will receive a carnival theme. Source and Source
  13. In March/April, the so called Winter Efteling is over. So both DVH and Piraña will be open. You can check here what rides are going to be closed. For now, the calendar ends at the end of 2017. But by the end of this year, the calendar and the scheduled closures of the attractions for 2018 will be released. Baron has a storage for your bag before you enter the pre-shows. You will get a bracelet with a number on it, and when you exit the ride you give it back in exchange for your bag. Small items like your phone/keys can be left in the station. For the other big coasters, you can leave your bag in the station. Once again, you can check this link to see the expected crowd levels for each day. Most of the time, it is pretty accurate. It is the same calendar, so nothing is listed for 2018 yet. But normally, you should be fine (except during the Easter Holidays).
  14. New Teaser: It rushes by with full power Just awake, it's ready for a fresh start. Young, inexperienced and completely new. It is ready for a new start. What is still small begins to grow into a powerful burning mass. A blazing fireball. It is ready for a first flight.
  15. Full Throttle Superman or Wicked Cyclone at SFNE?
  16. New Teaser: An ancient legend full with immortality Many sagas and legends have dared. A mythological creature that has spread its magical power for centuries. Powerful, miraculous and pure.
  17. Windseeker! Expedition GeForce or Wildfire (Kolmården)?
  18. Yes, I love them! Have you ever been to Australia?
  19. Seems like a perfect start to what is guaranteed to be an awesome trip! I would really like to visit Oktoberfest one day, it just looks so awesome!
  20. It is nearly the end of the season for a lot of us. So tell us what parks you have visited this year, and if you actually visited the parks you were planning to visit. These are the parks that I have visited this year (chronologically): Efteling Plopsaland De Panne PortAventura Park* Ferrari Land* Avonturenpark Hellendoorn* Attractiepark Slagharen* Walibi Holland Efteling (preview Symbolica) Tivoli Gardens* Bakken* Efteling Toverland Walygator Parc* Nigloland* Efteling Bobbejaanland Phantasialand Disneyland Paris Walt Disney Studios Park Movie Park Germany (*new parks) I was also planning to visit Gardaland and Mirabilandia this year, but it just didn't work out this year.. Hopefully next year! This year, I am still going to visit Phantasialand during Wintertraum and a few visits to Efteling.
  21. Thank you! It is indeed a fantastic ride.
  22. ^That is great to hear! I can definitely see why it was voted the "Best Novelty in a European Theme Park".
