Walibi Belgium Discussion Thread
Wishmaster replied to Dark Vampire's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That's where they put the station building. The ride will also go through the Western and Italian areas of the park. -
So it's the off-season, now what?
Wishmaster replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I still have some photos of Phantasialand from 1974. I could post them here. -

INTAMIN Cable Lift Question
Wishmaster replied to GAcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Only the first generation cable lift. Goliath @ Walibi World is the only one with a second generation cable lift. On G! the cable doesn't come into the station. Like Yeah 7 said, the train is pushed out of the station by kicker wheels, it passes the cable sled and than the cable sled catches up to the train. The train doesn't stop to hook up to the cable sled. As for El Toro, cable lifts are only being used on steel coasters. Colossos and Balder don't have cable lift's either. -
I live about 40 minutes from Toverland so obviously I rode that one. Last time I was there I even got chased by a few weird Americans. I also rode the traditional alpine slides in Télécoo (Belgium) and Panorama Park (Germany) and the alpine coaster in Fort Fun (Germany). Here is the official website from Wiegand, the company that builds these bobkarts. The site also contains lists of all their installations.

Best coaster ride when raining
Wishmaster replied to verticalzero's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I love RH when is't wet, but when it's dry I don't really like it. My personal favorite to ride in the rain is Tonnerre de Zeus. RH doesn't even come close to that! -
*sigh* details, details, details.....complain...complain...complain.... --Robb "I didn't need three different people tell me I made a mistake...a PM or something would have been just fine!" Alvey Hey, I just wanted to let you know. How could I know a few other people already had send you a PM? And it wasn't meant as a complaint, I just thought you didn't know Vekoma made powered coasters. I used to think it was a Mack myself.

Phantasialand Discussion Thread
Wishmaster replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^ Phantasialand has a history of making things look like the artworks. A few details may change, but it won't be anything big. -
A mantis is a kind of insect, it has nothing to do with pee. I think with Balder they mean the Norse god, which makes it a great name.

Hated coasters you like.
Wishmaster replied to imbordisux's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Eurosat! A lot of people say it's rough but I just love it. Stuntfall (Déjà Vu clone) is also a great ride. -
^ I couldn't agree more!

This coaster was build for a contest on an other site in which we had to build a wooden coaster for Toverland. Have fun.

I made this coaster a few weeks ago for a contest on an other site. We didn't get the results yet but since I'm tired of waiting I post this anyway. We were supposed to build a new coaster for DLP and since they already have a Star Wars ride I decided to name this one after Star Trek. Have fun.

^ A lot of Egyptian gods are humans with animal heads. Sally Corp. has actually made Anubis like he is supposed to look.

Which Disneyland Attraction are you?
Wishmaster replied to Sir Clinksalot's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm the Parking Lot Tram. -
Phantasialand has a history of great shows. I haven't seen Arachnomé yet (I don't like shows eighter) but there previous show, L'Arctistique, was amazing! In 2001 it even got a "Big E-Award". They also used to have a magic show with 2 german magicians and several white tigers. I heared they've ended up in some desert. Bobbejaanland has a great solution for that problem. They've put "gumball trees" all over the park. Gumball trees are wooden boards with trees painted on. People are supposed to put their gum on the trees instead of on the ground. It may sound simple but it actually seems to work.

European Readers - HELP!

Don't you mean Dropkick Murphys - The Wild Rover? -
European Readers - HELP!
Wishmaster replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Maybe you could use a song from Bobbejaan Schoepen for the Bobbejaanland video. Afterall, the park was originaly build just for Bobbejaan's show. Geert "I think Dave may have a few good suggestions " Janssen -

The Official "TPR In Europe" Ongoing TR Thread.
Wishmaster replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Heide Park didn't get the permit, otherwise it would have already been on the open space next to Colossos.
