Beeja Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Aaaah, this was a day that I have been looking forward to! TPR was coming to visit my home park so I had to be there too, especially for meeting my riding buddy Big Mike! We had a great day and it was really nice to meet some other TPR-peeps. Too bad the park was so crowded and the lines were so d*mn long. I think we only got on 4 or 5 attractions. A big BOO! to all the schoolkids who were done with their exams... Anyhoo, despite the crowds I was really happy to see the park in better shape. It's becoming clear that CdA is doing a good job and their investment-plan seems to work just fine. Too bad ugly Vertigo is already closed but in my eyes, that's Doppelmayr's fault. So a big BOO! to Doppelmayr also! Enough rambling going on here so let's see some pictures, shall we?! Well, that's all folks! I leave you with this pic of my buddy Big Mike, going full throttle in the bumper cars! I hope you enjoyed! Yes, YES! Into the treeeeees! (sorry, I can't resist it to say it This really is a good Vekoma! Too bad my restraint almost crushed my hip bones... All I can say here is "Wheeeeeee!" Time to ride Loup Garou! A nice Vekoma woodie! Not so nice people in the queue, though... Line jumping is not a good idea when I'm around Radja River rapids. Would've been nice to ride it since it was so hot but yes, the lines... Can you say: "Too long"?! Random people in the even more random boat ride. (and there it is again, ruining all my pictures! Damn you Vertigo!!!) Another lovely sight: Cobra with his new and sexy paintjob! I really love these colors, my first true love Tornado had the same! Ferris wheels are cute! A lovely fountain in the not-so-lovely and stinking lake... Craig and Hanno are two happy train riders! The Big Man riding the train... Nice train ride, btw. Gives you some lovely views of the park. And we had a "roll back", hee hee! I really like this shot but you can insert a tree-joke here if you want to... Up, up and... coming back Go Turbine, you blocked out the sun! Ah, the last credit I had to get at Walibi Belgium (except for the kiddie coaster): TURBINE! Tiny group photo starring Big Mike with Craig on his shoulders, Will hiding behind these two nuts, Gage and Caitlyn watching their dad in embarassment and me, just standing there... How lame of me! Yay! I got to check off Belgium! The Big Mike Road Show is now officially Beeja-approved! I am evil bilingual Egyptian tramp! Now gimme some crêpes!! Stupid long line for Challenge of Tutankhamon... Good thing they had this game "Where's the Six Flags logo" (see Big Mike's thread for the pic) It's good to see the waterfalls working again! Ha! Train 2793 is already out of sight! The losers on train 6841 are waving to hide their embarassment (I see you, Craig!) Train 6841 takes the lead but train 2793 is getting closer! What an exciting race today!! Two trains + two lift hills = too much noise I can still hear "tak tak tak tak tak" in my ears, just looking at this pic Here's Calamity going into the Mine! Big Mike in line for Calamity Mine, wearing his shirt with pride! I saw lots of kids reading the shirt and thinking "what a dork" Here I am with Robb and Elissa! It was great meeting you guys! Big Mike, James and Robb striking a pose! (keep looking away from me guys, now I can run off with Robb's camera, hee hee) Whoopie, already at the park! And this ugly piece of sh*t is the first thing I see... Thank God Dalton Terror is behind it, now I have a lovely photo! Good thing I bought my ticket already, this joint seems to be closed since 1875 or something... Waiting for my train to come... Hurry up train, I have a date!!

Team Thriller Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Awesome pictures. You should have been there today. very cold, and no crowds. I agree that Vertigo is very ugly. And I also agree that Werewolfs lap bars crush your hips. I pretty much agree with everything you said. Great time we had, --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IggyACE Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hey, did you just call me a loser? It was great meeting you even though our visit was cut short. At least you had Big Mike to yourself then. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I think she called me a dork too! Plus, you never sung for me either Next time! Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeja Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 Well James, thanks for the tip! Maybe I should return to Walibi Belgium on a cold and rainy day... Craig, since you called me a liar (remember the Six Flags logo?!) I CAN call you a loser I also had a great time meeting you and your two cool coaster-kids (say hello to them from me, if they even remember who I am)! Big Mike, the KIDS were thinking "what a dork", I wasn't! Miss you too, riding buddy! Hopefully I can come on a trip next year so we can hang out some more! Groteslurf, I am sure that you had a great time at Toverland! I think you got to ride more stuff that evening then I did all day... Hanno, I'm really excited to see your trip report! I'm sure it will be splendid with the most beautiful images! Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Radja River rapids. Would've been nice to ride it since it was so hot but yes, the lines... Can you say: "Too long"?! I must ride this. The tunnel entrance alone makes it worthwhile. Of course, the rest of the park is certainly must do. Thanks for putting this up and I still say you and Big Mike make a charming couple.
