hansrubens Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hey everyone, The last time I visited this park was in 1992 so it was a long time ago for me. I did remember a lot and not much has changed since then. The obvious reason for me to go again was the new Eurofighter Falcon. It was my first ever Eurofighter and it wasn't too bad I actually liked it. The setting of this park is awesome. It's located in the "seaside area", you can't see the sea but there a lot of trees and dunes. There were a awful lot of schooltrips but it was manageable. If you get bored during the picture part you can go count the frogs. I don't have a price for the winner but you can kill some time. On to the pics.... Frogs. eop1 Count the... I'll end part one with a giftshop If your'e lucky your kid returns safely through this tunnel. I feel something coming up.... Take the tunnel. Bye... Note the kid who obays the safety restrictions. You can send out your kids and never seen them back again. Station picture. Train ride. Station picture. Lifthill. The setting is uber awesome. It runs through the dunes at insane speeds. I should come back again soon to ride it. But they were closed today due to the weather. The rodelbanen are great atleast that is what I can remember. ^ Nothing special about this one. Aqua swing. Some random theming. My sister trying to dry my niece's jacket. Me in front of the strange kiddie flatride. The whole construction rotates while the train is running. A strange kiddie flatride. It's a restaurant with a carrousel inside. Wow. There's a Pancake restaurant. In my memory this one was much steeper. Does anyone know if it is adjusted when the higher slides were installed? Tikibad has a lot of slides. In the centre of the park is a huge water park. In Holland Duinrell is famous for it. My niece came off soaked and wasn't too happy with that. The ride is nice to view and take a couple of pictures not to ride it. Soaked. and... There it comes. Brave kids waiting for the wave to come. Luckily I stand in the safety zone. Boat coming down. There is a bridge were you can catch the wave. Boat coming down. It ended up that you got soaked on the enclosed boat and almost dry on the open boat due to this raincoat system. Going up. The enclosed one loading. Here is the open boat. You can choose to ride the enclosed boat or the open one My sister + family choose to ride the enclosed boat. I chose to take some pictures instead. The Waterspin has to share it's entrance with Splash. That boy got a great time. Love peoples expressions. Pretty standard huh. Another big ride for this park. Topspin time... Which place should we go next? It's my sister going nuts. What is that in the back. Almost put my camera on the track for this one. This picture made me kinda proud. It has a perfect setting. Some station theming. Coming in the station. First coaster of the day. It's a Zierer Tivoli large model. Small, man powered Carrousel. The big slide was closed. You can also play with the sand. ^ There is a huge playground with all sorts of death machines. Random trash bin. The park got a fantastic atmosphere. Parkview. I only spotted tree the ride. View towards Wassenaar. Found it. Spot the frog. ^ Kikkerrad. This ferriswheel has got the most awesome view ever. You can also stay on property. Can't start a trip report without the park map. Entrance to the themepark. First off buying our tickets. Park's entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Great TP. Can't wait to go to the park this summer. Do you have any Falcon pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansrubens Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Part two. Time to go home. Thanks for reading. ^ Near the exit there were these cool paintings of most of the rides. ^ Bumper boats. Ride sign almost covered behind the leafs. Great fun for the kids who stayed on property cause the park never closed for them. Don't know if they closed this ride but I don't think so cause we were still there about an hour after closing time. Oh no don't look down. Made it to the top. In most cases those slides are great but these were a bit slow. Fun slides. The coolest thing is that they display your speed. I managed to go 42 km/h. Swoosh. The only negative point about this ride is that you have to bring your own boat to the top. Concept is simple. Tower and two slides. The aquashute the most anticipated ride of the day. ^ Splash. Going up. Noted. And let's not forget about the Katapults. Small ships means more airtime. Pirate ship. Heege tower. There is an area with a few small flatrides. Second and last inversion. The boy can't keep his head up. Going through the Immelman Jr. Which is not an inversion IMO. Going throught the loop. The drop. You get plenty of airtime when sitting on the backrow. Going up. Leaving the station. But the back row is great. The ride is kinda short and the right front seat is not the place to be. Coming back to the station. First drop goodness. Look mom I'm flying. Station Now were you all been waiting for... We all love the mayonaise. Time for some food. I only saw half of the show now so I don't know who won. Bananakwaka, Status Kwek and Benny Bever but I didn's saw the last two this year. It a singin contest starring Mr. Fish who immitates Prince. The play kwek show. Back in 1992 this was a big hit. And you all know the shitting donkey. There also was half a horse. was a bit boring but I got my daily excercise. Came across two very small looking girls. Brake mechanism. Some problem to get rid of. Those birds were all over the park. Loading/unloading. Safety first. Duinrell has a man powered monorail system. Frisbee. Ride sign. Mad mill safety regulations. Some old school bumper cars. I didn't know frogs had bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 It's always interesting to see smaller parks from other countries outside North America. And what's with all the frogs? I assume its the parks mascot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Great TR Hans. It's been a few years since I visited Duinrel. Hope to visit the park again soon in combination with Drievliet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hans - Thank you, I put a few of your pictures into the Park Index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansrubens Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 ^ It's a great job to provide nice pictures for the Park Index. ^^^ The frog is indeed the park's mascot. Duinrell uses it a bit too much IMO. You can't look anywhere or you see that damn frog. ----Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
