QueerRudie Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 That might be one of the single best re-uses of a Boomerang on the planet. A great way to give a standard ride a decent personality.
Nrthwnd Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) This looks very cool. It's great how the coaster makers and owners are figuring out that it doesn't take too much to give a steel coaster some good Theme-Love, lol! Might be worth a visit to WH in the not too distant... Might be. Edited April 7, 2011 by Nrthwnd
SoCalCoasters Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 All I can say is wow! What an amazing transformation! Whoever said music was dumb for a Boomerang is wrong! This works and looks great! I hope more boomerangs get onride audio!
ScottBrown Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Ah, OK thanks. Are there other Boomerangs with tunnels? The Boomerang at Wiener Prater has a tunnel as well

coastercrazy216 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Does anyone have an update on Xpress? RCDB has it listed as SBNO.
BaMiTsPaT Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 That is quite an inventive way to spice up the typical boomerang experience! I love the tunnel and the soundtrack.
aviadigit Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Does anyone have an update on Xpress? RCDB has it listed as SBNO. They're waiting on new parts of the launch system with a delivery time of 30 weeks(if I remember correctly). It's expected to open again at the start of next season.
dubbis Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 I will definitely visit this nice park again. Last time La Via Volta was SBNO.
nander Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Two new things: 1. Xpress is getting repainted: I see a red coaster and I want it painted black 2. Walibi Holland will have 4 haunted hauses next Halloween: 1. Eddies funhouse of fear (= Club Roxy) 2. Alice in Horrorland 3. The Villa 4. Psychoshock (NEW)
Rollercoaster Rider Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Welcome to the Site. Is it just me or have The Walibi Parks gone downhill since 04?
liftsifter Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 You mean since Six Flags off-loaded them?..
Rollercoaster Rider Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Yeah. You could've just said sold
A.J. Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Maybe Xpress will get those neat new trains in addition to its re-paint. Isn't Xpress like...unbearable to ride?
nander Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I last rode Xpress in 2010, it was more smooth then Kanonen (Liseberg) in 2010. The OTSR's are slightly more uncomforable though, but the ride itself is very smooth. They should just put a mechanism in it so the OTSR's don't 'click', but should have an 'infinite' number of possible settings. Someone on themepark.nl seemed to know that you can just replace the passenger module; you do not need to replace the entire train to upgrate to MK 1212 is what he said. I don't know his source though. The rollercoasters in walibi holland, descending in ride comfort: 1. Goliath 2. Xpress (SBNO) 3. Speed of Sound 4. Robin Hood 5. Rattle Snake (used to be Woks Waanzin / RoadRunner Express / Keverbaan) 6. El Condor Rattle Snake is very uncomfortable, because their programming is really weird. It just doesn't /barely brake(s) when running through the station for the first time, and the second time it stops in under .5 seconds. Also, the friction wheels work very fast. This results in weird quirks when riding. The el condor shakes like hell. It's a fun ride, but it's a mindblender .
nander Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Official: Walibi Holland gets a new ride next year: a 5D cinema. The movie is probably going to be Rokken Roll (dutch edition). The big question is: when do you call it 5D? Both the french walibi Parks got 3D cinemas in 2011, Walibi Belgium already had a 4D cinema. What's a 5d cinema? Rotating seats?
gisco Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 My guess is 5D is mainly marketing. They will do something different and claim the extra "D" Most people won't know the difference.
ScottBrown Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Did Speed of Sound have a bad season? There are several videos on Youtube of it stalling in various places and getting stuck
nander Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Yes, it did have a bad season, but.. All stalls were caused by one and the same problem: User Error: people keep trying to climb fences and when the operators notice that they press the emergency brake button. Thus the train gets the brakes applied fully and stops. Usually it stops in the location between the looping and the chain lift, but some cases it doesn't, because the train is already half-passed the emergency brakes.
walibi owner Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Snow at Walibi Holland! Robin Hood in the snow! Park plan in the snow This thing in the snow MM in the snow Snow car! SoS! El Condor! Speed zone Grande rou! Goliath! Xpress!
