hansrubens Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Just got back from Walibi World. It was a nice sunny day and light crowds. On to the pics. On our way back cruising from Lelystad to Enkhuizen. On the left Markermeer and on the right IJsselmeer. It should be open again in 2009. La Via Volt. SBNO for a year now. A small show that we were passing by. Ahh a hippo New playground in the kids area. When I took this picture I actually was getting high. There were two bimbo's next to me who were smoking pot. These are just a couple of random park photo's The DOU DOU slush drinks Xpress was also running on a one train base. Those last two pictures are taken from Rio Grande. This is better. From this spot you just can't get a good picture. Xpress the uncovered Rock n Rollercoaster See he isn't even halfway through and already soaked. Brave volunteers Nice overview Splash Battle a interactive water fight were you will get soaked The big turnaround There is some air on those hills. Don't know what but there must be something I guess there is something interesting on the left. And it broke down in the end of the day Robin hood was also running 1 train. Robin Hood wooden coaster presented by Vekoma Wheeee 3... 2... 1.... Launch These girls just finished their adventure on Space Shot Enough of the SLC pics. I did rode it twice today 1 upfront and 1 time in the back There used to be a lot of green in this picture but they removed a lot of it in the off season. In stead of the guy in the first row who is suffering of his first SLC headache Actually I enjoyed it It wasn't running that bad today. Yes its El Condor the first SLC in the world You now what time it is. 3rd drop with a nice overview and a few seconds away of getting wet. POV 2nd drop Thats a bit better Hey here we are but were not smiling. POV first drop POV first lift Random people They supposed to be funny. Some of the signs inside the station Last drop of the ride Overview of the logflume Crazy River This ride operator is the best. I hope TPR visits Walibi World in a weekend cause he only works on saturday and sunday. Station overview Nice view from the parkinglot Hey thats us Some kind of art and yes it was the green one It was only running with one train today. There is plenty of air on these bunny hops. Goliath was running great today well it always does. Yes Goliath I can see it now a bit better Hey what do I see in the back And I did big time You might get wet There was a bit of a traffic jam There they are Yes she is waving to me Entrance of El Rio Grande rapid river. He had to use both sides of the lapbar. Its a bit hard to take a good picture because you can't walk around this coaster. Overview It's Flying Dutchman Goldmine. But you probably allready read that. Mainstreet at the end of the day. A great orange Walibi on top of the world. Yes were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Thanks for the TR! Very excited to be here in about 9 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 What a cool park! Only seen bits of it up to now. El Rio looks pretty fun, and those are some unique boats, almost something out of Trivial Persuit. Any notion who makes them? Thanks for posting these.

knottslover77 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Nice TR, this parks looks really nice. It seems like they do a good job theming their stations. --Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Awesome TR! Out of all the former European Six Flags park including all the movie parks they owned, this is the one I would like to visit. How where the lines even though there were only one train operating on most of the coasters? Again, great pictures. --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Awesome pictures. I'm really looking forward to visiting this park again. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansrubens Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 ^^ Thanks for all the good reports. The average line was about 30 minutes. I think when they just use all coasters on max capacity there were no lines at all. But all the parks where I've been they are just willing to have long lines. No it's not negative it's just thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeja Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Very nice TR with some beautiful pictures! You did a great job: some coasters, some other rides, some park views and some random fun. That's how I like it! I hope I can make it someday to Walibi World, Goliath looks so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olimonn Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Nice pictures! For the raft ride, according to French Wikipedia those are from Intamin. Vekoma only seems to have made the ones in Bellewaerde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eBen Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Some nice pictures in that report, but a big shame about the removed foliage around the SLC as I thought that was a great part to it. What did you think of the log flume, apparently its a surprisingly good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vekoma only seems to have made the ones in Bellewaerde. According to all the dutch sites it's a Vekoma. When Walibi Flevo opened in 1994 most of their rides were from Vekoma.

The best log flume in my opinion is Teufelsfasser in Holidaypark on par with the wildwasserbahn in Phantsialand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Great TR Hans. That ride op of Goliath is indeed the best. I sometimes wonder where he's getting the energy to be that enthusiastic all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggler Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I love this park to bits and when we were there in 2006 we had season passes and turned up on their New Years Eve in the summer night. The park was open till midnight, we got free food and drink as we were season pass holders and with the double ride vouchers we were able to get double rides on Goliath in the dark. YEE HAA! Goliath is just an awesome coaster and for me it's the best steel coaster in Europe. Silverstar is good but lacks those truly great out of the seat moments, Expedition G-Force was a disappointment as I'd heard so many people hyping it up and when I rode it it felt slow, the transitions weren't flowing and the coaster sounded like it was running on train tracks (felt like it too.) I left feeling very underwhelmed by it all. Goliath though never fails to impress. The transitions are smooth, the pacing is excellent, that dive turn is just awesome and those last few bunny hops are packed full of airtime.

Didn't even know those folks made rapids boats. Bit of a curious design at that. You've taught me something new today. Regardless, some great pics and definately makes me want to go to Walibi.
