Hhappy Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Looks like El Condor is getting some love during this off season. from the parks facebook page Besides the normal maintenance they are (trying) to make the ride smoother with track corrections. Let's see how this will work out
_koppen Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Good for them, but the ride is still a piece of s***t.
RCT3Bross Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 If you ask me they should stop investing in El Condor (The ride needs either the new trains or get out) and squares and but that money in to demolishing Robin Hood and replace it with a decent Woodie. That ride is really terrible.
AstroDan Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I quite enjoyed Robin Hood! It's certainly better than some other woodies, like Anaconda, Bandit, Coaster Express etc! It's quite bumpy, but it gives you all sorts of random pops of airtime.
RCT3Bross Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 ^When was the last time you rode it? I rode it last year and it hurt my back pretty bad I even have Bandit on a higher rank then Robin Hood but I rode Bandit in 2007 I heard it has also gone really bad.
_koppen Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Apparently the renovations of El Condor have given the ride some problems during testing. There is now to much friction creating the train to valley already after the first two loops. The park's technicians are working hard to find what's failing, and they hope that they will get it open for opening day. It's still nice to see that the new track has effected the ride, hopefully in a good way. Source
Hhappy Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 ^ the source of that source is a sensation website.. as far as I've found out they have fixed it already. It has been freezing this week with a lot of wind and then it's easier to stall a ride.

walibi owner Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 THE RIDE FACTS AND FIGURES: • Over 200 extras took part in the film playing fans, linesmen, players, managers and more. • The rollercoaster travelled over 120km during filming and went round the track 100 times! • The advert was filmed at the Walibi park near Amsterdam, and the rollercoaster is called ‘Goliath.’ • Nearly 20 cameras were used during the shoot, including ten which were attached to the roller coaster cars. • A helicopter was also used during the shoot to capture the vital aerial shots. • A crew of 120 people were on hand throughout the two days of filming. • Director of photography was Ueli Steiger, who has previously worked on Hollywood movies including ‘The Day After Tomorrow,’ ‘Austin Powers,’ and ‘Godzilla.’ http://www.carlsberggroup.com/investor/news/Pages/PR13_Cad_25092013.aspx#.UkXeB9KpXkw
loop-de-loop Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 The never ending train look awesome.
RCT3Bross Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Love the forever alone guy. All I wondered after watching was why a Danish beer company would use a Dutch coaster. I think it's a very good commercial very well done, plus 2 things I like the most on this planet, beer and roller coasters. (Looking at the video they might as well paint the supports green instead of the black as they do now.)
walibi owner Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Some pictures of the new paint... http://rockydebever.nl/2013/09/20/walibi-holland-begonnen-met-schilderen-goliath/
RCT3Bross Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 ^ If you ask me it's good considering that they plan this to the SLC: Source I think they had some spare paint form both Xpress and Speed of Sound's last paint jobs. Really hopped they just left Goliath's supports purple and did a new fresh coat.
IronWolfman Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 I like the black and the other repaints the park has done.
Moose Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Wow. The SLC looks good. Words I thought I would never say.
walibi owner Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Some pictures from Walibi Holland's Facebook.
Greatdrift Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks for the picture update! I am surely going to miss those purple colored supports on Goliath
julioot Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Wow. The SLC looks good. Words I thought I would never say. That picture is a photoshop though Some pictures from the now allmost fully black goliath photos from walibis facebook page Facebook
