Tripreport Walibi Holland Halloween

[hansrubens]

Hey everyone,

 

Here is a short report about Walibi Holland's Halloween event. Difinitely one of the best in Europe. They added an extra haunted house this year which makes a grand total of 4 haunted houses. The fourth house is situated on the island alongside Robin Hood.

 

There is only one downside at this event... Crowds. It must be the busiest I've ever seen at Walibi. With a queue over 100 minutes at Goliath. I heard that there were 21000 people inside the park. But anyway no doubt that I will visit it again next year.

 

 

Let' view some pictures!!!!

This was the line at Goliath at 11:30 am.

Was still ok about 20-30 minutes.

Luckily we arranged something!

After two rides on Goliath. The line indicator was no longer our friend.

All along the watchtower!!!

Because the sign said only 30 minutes at Robin Hood we decided to head that way. BTW they added some extra station theming to Robin Hood. Cool huh?

One of the worst rides I'd had on this one.

Scarezones during daytime are not scary.

Same thing for Halloween signs.

They just tell you which way to go.

Mmmmmm

Most important thing I learned on TPR's 2010 Europe trip. ALWAYS document your food!!!

So at 5 pm we got in front of the line for Alice. It opened at 6 pm but since everything else was too busy to ride this was the best thing to do.

They even got all new shiny signs for the haunted houses.

at around 5:30 these dudes appeared.

and the line became a bit chaotic.

Ozzy?

Dude looks like a lady.

I take a picture of him every single year.... and he seems to like it.

Next house: The Villa which contains famous movie scenes.

Very fast moving queue line. No really it wasn't too bad.

Last bit before entering the house.

After that we ran into Freddy.

Aliens descending upon us.

Scarezone Anton Freak. Which are all fairytale related.

One of my favorite pictures

It's a giant wheel!!

Is this still the Gravedigger?

There is someone hiding out there.

The all new haunted house on Robin Hood island.

and yes also a new sign!

To make it to the island you had to cross this "artificial" bridge.

Looking towards Robin Hood.

Maybe the best actor in the park.

Awesome!!

Loonatic.

This is the scarezone at the entrance of Robin Hood.

Mmmm delicious.

yup.

Also one of my favorite actors.

Time for the last haunted house.

This queue area keeps me getting back to Walibi every year!!!

There is a bar, live entertainment and a bar and beer... Do I need to say more?

and handsome people.

and they found a new job for the enterprise cars. This really helped giving the deserted fair feel to the queue area. Great job Walibi.

Also awesome. Hard to take his photo too.

A back to the wooden boy.

He scared the hell out of my nieces friend (on the left) and after that he just acted like nothing happened!! awesome.

Atmosphere.

He was really funny.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!!!!

I'll be back next year.

Tot ziens en de groetjes!!!! thanks for reading.

Great pics Hans.

When were you there ?

I was there last Sunday, and man .... those crowds !!!!! In the afternoon, the line for Goliath reached upto the Karting ride. And the lines for the mazes in the evening .... luckily we had our RIP passes.

Great report, Hans! Wow - what a long line for Goliath, but a reserved back row certainly helps! Glad to see that you documented the food - this is, of course, very important! Fijne Halloween! Dank je wel!

Here are some aerial photo's of that day. In the third picture you can see the line of Goliath going all the way down towards the karting track.

I went to Movie Park Germany this year, but visited Fright Nights the last couple of years. I gotta say overal I like Walibi more. But what happened to Gravedigger!!! he was awesome when Harold Verwoert (also known as Coole Piet) played the character.

 

I Think its good that they change the theme up a bit, but Eddie the Clown is still the most awesome clown ever. Alice in Horrorland (maze where you have to put on 3D glasses) is also one of the best mazes i've ever been to! and Beetlejuice being the most funny character ever.

 

@hansrubens There has been 4 mazes in years, the new maze replaced Club Roxy. I don't really mind that Club Roxy is gone though. But is the new maze any good? Cause the name (Eddy's funhouse of fear) lets me think that its kind of the same as Circus of Freaks, which has been gone for 2 years now . And was there a final show this year, or has it been cancelled again like last year?

 

But in all I think Walibi Holland has one of the biggest halloween events in europe. And apart from some terrible people (mostly youth)visiting it, it has always been awesome!

Eddies funhouse of fear is a rethemed version of Club Roxy, Psychoshock is an all-new maze. It's way too crowded in my opinion, I would never wait more then 1 hour for a ride, never ever. My record is 45 minutes que time for Balder, but I don't want to wait more then 1 minute per second ride time.
