Walibi World from Amsterdam?

[dubaidave]

Hi,

 

I am thinking of doing a trip to Amsterdam for a few days in the summer and was wondering if anyone can help me with information on how to get to Walibi World by public transport from Amsterdam?

 

Thanks

Take the train to station "Harderwijk" from there you can get on the special "Walibi Express" bus that get you directly to the park entrance.

It'll take you around 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to Harderwijk station and then almost 30 minutes with the Walibi Express bus.

Thanks very much for the info.

 

I am planning on being in Amsterdam between July 6th and 9th

Any idea what would be the quietest day to visit?

 

I am also planning on hitting the Amsterdam Dungeon, for the coaster and wondered if there is anywhere else you could suggest?

 

thanks again.

The more quiet days are the same for any and everypark, mid week which is ideal for your dates and when there isnt a public holiday. I did this trip on the train and bus a few years back, it went very well and even got a cheap ticket from the bus driver. Who instantly swapped her dutch for english without batting an eyelid. The train I was on didnt have announcments but keep an eye out for the names of the stations and check the train times so you know both when to expect to arrive and when to change trains. Dont be surpised if you stay on the same platform!

From what I've heard, WW doesn't have a lot of problems with waiting lines, cause it has quite a couple of coasters, good capacity, and it's not THAT popular anymore.

the amsterdam dungeons are really fun if you have time

As long as you're in the Netherlands, it's worth the trip to Efteling. Walibi World is a decent coaster park, but the pre-eminent theme park in the Netherlands is Efteling. It's beautiful and unique with a number of great rides. It's a similar journey: a train to either Breda or Den Bosch, then a bus to the park. Unfortunately, it's in a different direction from Amsterdam that Walibi is, but it's the other major park in the country and is as well served by the transit system. Actually, it's the most-visited park in the country. Plus, Efteling will have a new GCI racing woodie (Joris en De Drak) in 2010. And, it's not too far from Toverland and Troy, though Toverland is a bitch by public transit...not impossible, but not a cinch.

 

Let me know if you want more info. And for the record, the site http://journeyplanner.9292.nl/ is extremely helpful for getting around NL.

I went in mid summer the last 2 years & found the park very busy, but the crowds tended to stay near the front of the park for the first couple hours at least.

I walked past 30-40 minute waits for Xpress, but had 0-15 waits at Goliath.

Later on in the day the wait times reversed.

It was about 30-40 minutes for Goliath & Xpress was a 5-10 minutes wait.

 

I also will put a plug in for Efteling, if you have time.
