A little notice to those who are near Agen, France...

[3whil]

Yes, there is a Theme park in the south of France if any of you didn't know already, its a Walibi Theme Park and it's perfect for all those people who aren't ready to face huge coasters or rides or whatever

 

It's five kilometres from the City and the fist thing you can see is loads of Walibi billiards and the top of the spike of the boomerang!!!

 

after being designated in the dusty gravel car park you find out you are not allowed to take your own lunch into the park due to whatever i dont know the reason why. Dont go to the picnic area outside the park for lunch, just go to your car, its quieter and you can find more room

 

So then there are the rides, only three coasters (a wild mouse, the ladybird ride and the boomerang) an awesome log flume, a rapids ride which is really short but gets you wet anyhow a pirate boat thats really lame and a spining swing thing like the UG swinger in Alton Towers (forgot the name for it!!). Theres also the classic teacups and then theres the awesome water ride ever designed by my standards (ultimate waterfight more like)

 

My favourite ride was (obviously) the boomerang, the queue is so short even though its like the biggest ride in the park, seriously. At first i was eager to ride it, but then the five minute wait i got really freaked out but me and my dad went on it anyway, at the back, which then i realised i was going to drop further(oops!). but it came with a good view of the park and beyond, and like i say: "most good rides come with a good view". Then, looking back when i was going to drop, i wondered whether this would be like oblivion (also at alton towers) although at a 45° tilt. I soon found out. I was half screaming my head off when it dropped :s i found out it was only that first drop which was the worst part, even the second drop as we went down backwards was okay.

 

Oh yeah, a tip for those who wear glasses of you don't know: my dad felt his glasses sliping as we were going back, so i suggest taking them off or wearing contacts, no offence to anyone

 

i thought is was so good i went on it a second time, one ride later and i was back on it again. The next day, my neck felt like when you pull a muscle in sports and it goes all stiff.

 

If any of you readers have been to Walibi Aquitaine come and talk it'd be fun!

Robb and Elissa visited a similar park two years ago. It has the "Abnormal Boomerang"

uhh, Walibi Aquitaine and Walibi Rhône Alpes are two completely different theme parks, one is in the Rhône alpes, and one is near Agen, like, an hour from bordeaux, effectively on the other side of France i looked at those rhone alpes photos and that park looked lame... the park im talking about has sealion shows and splash battles and a *genuine* castle
