Photo TR : Walibi World Fright Nights

[Groteslurf]

Yesterday evening we went for the 5th or 6th time in 4 years to the Fright Nights @ WW.

 

We had R.I.P. passes again, but as it was too cold to wait for a ride on Goliath, we had sufficient time to do the mazes several times and for the first time in 4 years, we did the normal waiting row for Club Roxy. DAMN, I had heard in the past years it's great, but it actually is really the best waiting row I've ever been in at any themepark. It has coloured glowing boxes, a bar (!!!), loud dance music, hot dancers, ..., we did the maze 3 times just because of the waiting row.

 

I made a small impression movie in the row and here you have it.

I hope it's a he, otherwise ....

He/she was very popular.

The awesome maze-exit.

Though it's a great maze, if WW is not going to expand with a 4th maze next year, I surely hope it will be this maze they will replace and not the 'older' Club Roxy.

Eddie's Circus

And another one.

Forest actor.

To exit Club Roxy you have to walk through a forest. It's still my favorite part at any maze I've been in, after the waiting row for the same maze since yesterday.

HOT dancer.

Glowing cubes.

Not my favorite kind of music, but at this place a really really liked it.

And then it was time for Club Roxy with the most amazing waiting area at any attraction in any park in the world.

Exit.

We had R.I.P. passes so no waiting for us. The 3d effects are awesome. The scareactors too. And there is smoke

Let's do the new maze first. Normal waiting row was going up to the entrance of the park.

Still not dark enough for the second maze either.

We still had time to decide as it wasn't dark yet.

Hard choice : amazing waiting row or no waiting row.

New maze this year is the 3d maze Alice in Horrorland. He/she is waiting for you at the exit of the maze.

Main street

It's a very popular event but still, they only do this for 8 nights in total this year.

The reason why we are here.

X-pres

Ok here is my take on the Fright Nights at Walibi World.

 

First off I don't want to be too negative about it but in comparison with the past years this was the worst Fright Nights I've been to.

 

Somehow Walibi cut their budget and you could tell there were less actors than other years.

 

I'll start my review with the worst maze and end with the best.

 

1. Eddies Circus of Horror.

 

This was my favorite maze of last year. This year however they let way too many people in and I jammed for three or four time which killed the experience. There was too much light and too few actors.

 

2. Club Roxy.

 

Like Benny said this maze has the most fantastic queue ever. You cross a bar for three times while in line. The maze itself was also a bit disappointing. We crossed five or six rooms without any actors. This maze has great opportunities and I hope they get it right for next year.

 

3. Alice in horror land.

 

This is the best maze that Walibi ever had. You must wear 3d glasses and everything is very disorienting. It's clear that they put all their effort into this maze.

 

Even with those minor disappointments I had a really good time. And I know those minor things wasn't an issue for people who visited the Fright Nights for the first time.

 

Pictures.

See ya next year Eddie.

At least it was to me.

The Beetlejuice show was very funny.

This guy was acting very well.

Two scare actors in one picture.

The first time I saw him last year I LMAO.

A little side note. In Holland there is a kids television serie starring clown Bassie. see picture......... In Walbi there is a bit of a Bassie rip off. See next picture.

And most importantly there is a bar.

The atmosphere is really amazing.

Club Roxy queue area.

Getting buried alive.

She was still looking for a groom.

This guy was really amazing.

Meeting up with Eddie and the Gravedigger.

Entrance of the maze. Note the security dude. He was chasing down two linejumpers and got them out of line and probably out of the park. Which is a good thing cause I hate linejumpers.

But it wasn't too bad it took us about 30 minutes once the maze opened.

Ten minutes later it almost stretched outside the park.

We first got in line for Alice. We started queueing up 30 minutes before the maze would open and the line was already half way down the main street.

It's already getting dark on to the Fright Night pictures.

Respect for mister Wok.

This ride can make you nauseas.

Main stage where you could meet up with Eddie and The Gravedigger.

Don't worry you'll hit the brakes soon.

followed by this headbanging part.

Back breaking.

I feel a headache coming up.

and soon disappearing into the mist.

Coming out of the station.

Putting in the second train.

queueing up for Robin Hood.

Food deal.

This is the best way to ride Splash Battle.

Xpress station/coasterporn. The original Riddler's Revenge colors coming through.

Swing.

I spot two trains.

Off course some Goliath love.

First we got the big rides out of the way.

We're there.

Great pictures Hans.

 

I can see you have lovely weather during your visit

 

Yeah, you definitely could notice there were less actors than in the previous years and the 'Eddie Circus' maze was simply disappointing.

 

The Alice 3D maze was indeed great but a few years ago there was a similar maze in Port Aventura including turning tunnel so I had a déjà vu.

 

One time when we were in Club Roxy, there probably was a coffee break for the actors because there were hardly actors in the maze. The other times, all actors were there.

Looks like a really fun event, and Club Roxy's line looks awesome!

Ediie the Clown and his stage show look so much like Jack and his show from HHN though, its uncanny! Even down to the giant blender...

[Jeroen_twee]

I've heard Eddie would be Jack's brother at HHN, but 9-11 changed that. Thats why this Eddie and his stage do remind you of Jack
