SharkTums Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Anyone else kind of see the funny side of this...they have a clone of 'Rock n Roller Coaster' but the boomerang will be their 'music' ride. No? Just me? That's okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDipper 80 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Music on a boomerang? Do they play the song backwards on the return leg? Â It seems like an odd choice of a ride to add a soundtrack to. But, who knows, it might turn out to be neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbit Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Walibi will be much more than an amusement park. Â We also see new characters on the seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aviadigit Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Are they getting the new trains with new restraints? Last January Walibi World confirmed that it will get a new Vekoma MK1212 train(the same as on Carolina Cobra). Â Anyone else kind of see the funny side of this...they have a clone of 'Rock n Roller Coaster' but the boomerang will be their 'music' ride. No? Just me? That's okay! That's the first thing I thought when I heard it was going to have a music theme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 So they re-open Via Volta but at the same time they'll close the Flying Dutchman Goldmine coaster. This coaster will be relocated to a themepark in France.

hobbit Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 and there site : Â http://www.walibi.com/holland/nl-nl/ Â Â And the new site from Walibi Belgium: http://www.walibi.be/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmereStars Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Oke, since today the new website was launched: http://www.walibi.com. It has a lot of cool comics and other stuff conserning the battle  Walibi World officially changed there name to Walibi Holland.  ALL the walibi parks will have this new theming, The Music Battle.  The music battle will be a popgroup formed by Walibi (walibi is not a cute and young mascotte anymore, but a more mature one) called WAB. They play against The Skunxs, a rock group that is formed by Sqaud.  The battle will be played on the internet, where you can create an account and choose Wab or The Skunxs as your favourite band. By playing games on the website you score points, and so do all the others. So if you choose WaB, you will earn points for WaB, while the players who choose The Skunxs will earn points for The Skunxs. Making this an online battle.  In the parks themselves a lot of new theming is going one. For example, La Via Volta (the boomerang) is going to reopen the coming season and has been repainted to match the colours of Haaze. haaze is a bandmember of WaB, the purple wearing guitar dude. There is also a rumour going on that it will be called Speed of Haaze.  I'm not really sure how they incorporate the battle in the parks. But I think this new style is pretty good. I think it will make the Walibi parks more family orientated  This is the song by WaB http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrQxN2jlLGs  the song made by The Skunxs  I really think the animations look really good and the music is pretty good as well!  Some other changes that has been rumoured/confirmed:  - The Flying Dutchman GoldMine (wild mouse credit) has been demolished and moved to another park - Wok's Waanzin (the little kiddycoaster) will move to the old Flying Dutchman spot - They removed everything from the entrance hall, litteraly everything. They're reorganizing the merchandisingspots and all the other stuff - (rumour) Walibi also got a permit for inside building. This could be connected to the changes they are making in the entrance hall, but there are also a lot of rumours going on that they are going to get a 4D theatre - They also got a permit for removing 8 buildings, but its not sure which buildings will be demolished. I think one of the buildings will be the King Solomon Mine stage, that show hasn't run for couple of years now but the stage is still there   List of name changes (old - new):   Cavalli Baroca - Merrie Go'round Picolini – Super Swing Bonte ballonnen – Fibi’s Bubble Swirl Rockey’s Trucks– Haaz’ Garage Boris Ballenfabriek – Kids Playground Woks Waanzin – Rattle Snake Joe stuntvlieger – Squad’s stunt flight Toeter – W.A.B. World tour Koa’s Komische karretjes – Walibi’s Fun Recorder Lollige Lilly – Zenko’s Graffity Shuttle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Nooooo that means no more Wok, the non-politically correct Asian dragon =[ Â I'll have to see how this whole rebranding turns out. Walibi was such an awesome icon. It looks like a rat now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJeXeL Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 World's first Boomerang with on-board audio! Â Â Love how the wheel assembly is upside down on the train car display. Â Thanks for the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I gotta be honest, I kind of hate what this looks like. Â All the concept art with this music theme...ugh, it just doesn't work for me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It is a bit odd. Definitely the most themeing I've seen on any Boomerang. Still not sure if that's a good or bad thing...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 While I like that they are doing something different, this whole project seems really strange. While I like seeing all the marketing they are doing, it's for a ride that most visitors have probably ridden (whether at this park or another). I am interested to see how the park ties the battle of the bands/music theme in besides the on-board audio, and it's great that they are investing in a long SBNO ride, when they could have just as easily removed it. Â Although, isn't a Boomerang a little too short of a ride to have on-board audio in the first place? I hope it works out well, but as of right now, I don't see the reasoning behind it. I see that it is part of a music themed area, but the on-board audio seems a little pointless IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I should have been more clear, I actually think the retheme of the boomerang is somewhat needed as it was down forever, a lame boomerang, and at least this will give people a reason to ride it. Â I meant the whole front area of the park that they seem to be changing into this 'music battle' theme is just odd and ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
