LOOOVE!!

Vampires Gerstlauer or Premier Rides?

Indeed! I can't wait to see what the park is planning. An animal-themed family coaster would be a great fit.

As big a travesty as putting VR on Ride of Steel

Wow, this looks awesome! I love the water effect. Looking forward to seeing how this will develop. Good job, Vekoma!

I bet she was!

Pulsar - Walibi Belgium

Hey guys! I finally found some time to visit Walibi Belgium this year. I went to experience their newest coaster, named Pulsar. Pulsar is the third shuttle coaster in the park. All I can say is that they have a big hit with this ride. It's my favourite ride at the park. I had 8 rides on it; 4 on the back row (5th row), 3 on the 4th row and 1 in the front. The outer back seats make you soaked! But like really soaked. I was completely drenched. The front seat doesn't get you that wet. The ride starts nice and slow with the first launch backwards. On the vertical spike you get some unexpected airtime, which was a great surprise! Then you are peacefully going forwards, until you hit the second launch. Oh man, that's a blast! You are literally thrown out of your seat! Next you are travelling up the other vertical spike, which had a little bit of airtime. But when you hit the third launch and reach the maximum speed of 101kph (62mph), the airtime on the hill is very good! You travel up the vertical spike for one last time. At the top, you got some fantastic views and a great feeling of zero G on the way down. And then you hit the big splash. And when I say big, I mean very big! It's probably the biggest splash I've seen. I love it! After all, it's a fantastic ride and a solid addition for the park. Here are some pictures I took. Welcome to Pulsar! The entrance. There is some very nice theming in the queue. A very BIG splash!! All the way up, getting ready for the splash.. Aqua.TD6 It's actually much higher than I thought. People are getting excited for their ride. A big spash.. The station turntable is such a clever idea! It fits beautiful in the park! Love the station! That's not such a big splash.. WOW, okay. That is a huge splash!! Completely vertical! One last photo of Pulsar. Great airtime on that little hill! I wasn't expecting that, to be honest. Where's the boat??? For those water pump enthusiasts out there. Great views from up there, although you don't have much time to enjoy thet view Skloosh! Skloosh, from the back! Pulsar through the trees. I'm sure this ride will look even better in a couple of years, when all plants and trees are fully grown. It is high. What a massive structure! Nerd shot. These people are still dry, but not for long. AIRTIME! The track is gigantic! Smile for the camera! You get absolutely soaked on this ride!

Have they already announced an opening date?

Outer space Hansa Park or Heide Park?

Day 4 - Plopsa Coo The third and last park of the trip was Plopsa Coo, located in Belgium, next to the Coo waterfall. I visited this park because it was on my way back home from Europa Park and I had never been to Plopsa Coo before, so this was the right time to do it. It's a quirky little park with an fantastic setting. Plopsa Coo focuses especially on children and families, but that didn't stop me from having a great time at this lovely park! To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised! Plopsa Coo isn't about the rides, this place is about the natural feeling and the atmosphere. And that's what I love! It's a fun little park, with a great atmosphere and some lovely theming. A must visit if you're in the area! Coaster ranking 1. Vicky The Ride It's a Gerstlauer Spinning Coaster that opened in 2011. The ride was very smooth, and there even was some airtime. It wasn't intense and it didn't spin much, but considering this park is mostly for kids, I don't blame them. The theming was great, like all the rides at the Plopsa parks. Overall, it's a very fun family ride! 2. Halvar This Vekoma opened in 1989, and it's the only terrain coaster in Belgium. Again, this ride was very fun and was nicely themed. It wasn't smooth, though. There was some noticeable shakiness in the turns. In the front, you get a nice relaxing ride, while in the back the ride is much more intense. It even had some ejector air. It's a great classic coaster! But enough talking, let’s check out the photos! Welcome to Plopsa Coo! No Plopsa Park without some dancing fountains. A fun bunny ride for the kids. You'll find this in every other Plopsa Park. Look at this! Beautiful! Hello there, little fellow. They got a walk-through meadow with goats. I've never seen this at a park before, but I loved it! Some characters from Plopsa. First ride of the day: Coaster! Uuhm... I mean Halvar! Lovely theming. It's Plopsa, what did you expect? Some random people starting their journey with Halvar. Some theming around the ride. Halvar meets Log flume. This park is just beautiful. I probably should mention that the weather wasn't great that day. But hey, everything was a walk on. So no complaining from me. You get some airtime here! It's a fun little family coaster. Even the labyrinth is well themed. What a view! Maya Splash, the log flume of the park. At this point, the log flume just opened and this guy was testing it. He loves it! A nicely themed flat ride. What are you looking at? Aaah, the StarFlyer of the park. Some nice views from up there! Lots of things for the kids! The newest ride of the park: Dino Splash. It's a slide complex. A very nice addition! Don't be afraid, they aren't real. It actually goes pretty fast. Who doesn't like dino's? (As long as they are nice and not made out of flesh and bones, like this one) You can also go karting in the park. This park really is one of the "hidden treasures", it's really great! Next up, Vicky The Ride. Again, some very nice theming. Airtime! This coaster was a surprise! It was actually very good! It doesn't spin that much, though.. Helix! (No, not the green one in Sweden) There were random dolls all over the place, I love these little touches. Two train shot for you! It actually is a total mess of track! One last photo from Vicky! Thank you for reading! I hope you guys enjoyed it!

The least you can say is that this is interesting. Looking forward to the other clues, and the "exciting new thrill" of course.

^Great pictures! Thanks for sharing!

This looks like the ride that this park needs! It's a great park, but it doesn't have any outstanding ride IMO. This might change with this new coaster. I am excited to see how this will turn out. Interesting theme aswell.

How's the wait time?

I don't know why, but I laughed at this

Hey guys! I'm planning to visit Liseberg during the second week of August. What do you think crowds will be like? I am planning to stay one full day at the park (11am - 11pm), will this be enough time to explore the park? Or should I add a second day? Thanks!

Liseberg!!
