jedimaster1227 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 The trains will be made by .... KUMBAK!, (In the Netherlands notorious for the Vliegende Hollander and the Python trains who where replaced in no-time.) Also this SLC is the prototype so yeah it has some rough edges This makes me nervous for T2/T3 at Kentucky Kingdom... KumbaK doesn't particularly have a great track record for their new trains extending the lifetime of the rides they run on... The most recent example being Sea Viper at Sea World Gold Coast.

Nrthwnd Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 La Grande Roue is looking very nice, now. Can't wait to ride it again this September. Great view of the park, right in the middle of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walibi owner Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Walibi Holland Bans Selfiestick!!!! Walibi Holland does selfiesticks captivated . The long telescopic poles , which are used as a tool for making selfies may be used more for security in any attraction. The prohibition applies not only to the roller coasters , but also for quiet family rides as rocking ship Hudson Bay, Ferris wheel La Grande Roue , turning home Merlin's Magic Castle and antique car ride Le Tour des Jardins . Even in the quiet children's attractions themed area Walibi Playland is the stick now taboo. Many tourist attractions are to say the least unhappy with the sudden rise of the sticks because they can provide a lot of inconvenience and damage to scenery . Earlier also suggested the Plopsa park group in a ban. http://www.looopings.nl/weblog/3535/Walibi-Holland-verbiedt-selfiesticks-in-alle-attracties.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walibi owner Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 a short you tube video of a five course dinner in the rides of Walibi. And also some random fact.. Walibi has started this week with selling condoms in their shops. http://www.looopings.nl/weblog/3940/Bezoekers-Walibi-Holland-gaan-hard-pretpark-verkoopt-speciale-Walibi-condooms.html Google translate is your best friend: The Walibi Holland slogan, "Hard going," suddenly takes on a whole different meaning. The amusement park has begun selling special Walibi condoms. In souvenir shops are recently contraceptives between the hugs and sweets. That reports De Telegraaf. Parents and politicians are shocked. "Condoms are not souvenirs which you offer to hear in such a place," says director Werner van Katwijk of Association of Parents of Value. Jaap Oosterveld, leader of the Christian Union in Dronten, questioned the decision. "The target group of Walibi consists largely of primary school children. This is bizarre and definitely not according to our values." Walibi think there is certainly a need for the remarkable new products. A survey would show that young visitors are eager to condoms. "It shows that there is certainly demand from our audience, the teenagers," says marketing manager Marc Antonioli. Other amusement parks Walibi choice will not come quickly. The Efteling example, has no intention to put condoms on the shelves. "If we want to please teenagers, we do prefer a different way," announces a spokeswoman. "By building a new roller coaster for example." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the only erections at Efteling are coasters I think Alton Towers once did condoms for Oblivion if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I think Alton Towers once did condoms for Oblivion if I remember correctly. They did indeed sell them around the time Oblivion opened. Thorpe Park sell Colossus and Stealth condoms and Heide Park sell Scream ones. Im sure some other parks sell them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I think Alton Towers once did condoms for Oblivion if I remember correctly. LOL, if Gardaland did condoms for Oblivion: The Black Hole. Even as a teenager myself, this is kind of disturbing. Isn't this promoting sex? And where's parental backlash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 LOL, if Gardaland did condoms for Oblivion: The Black Hole. That would be wrong on so many levels. Didn't seem like the park had a hard time deciding this. I'm not going to lie this is kind off wrong from parks to sell, but if you know your main source of guest will "do it", I mean we can deny all day they don't but who are we fooling, you at least can make sure as park you provide some protection.
