CoasterB Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hello all, as I had the day off from work, I took the 2 hour drive to Walibi Holland, This wasn't my first visit but last time Lost Gravity was being built. It was a really great day, it got really sunny in the middle of the day which was nice, The queues where up and down as it was kind of busy, The first ride I went on the Express Platform 13 which I waited 30 mins for, The queue line is really awesome though, But then later on in the day it was a walk on. It was better than I remember, was smooth and the launch was good. Then I headed to Lost Gravity which blew my mind, Looks so much better in person than from videos and the trim break wasn't as strong as i'v seen in POV's Pray the lord for the Single Rider queue because I used and abused it. I waited 40mins for Goliath which was doing a 1 Train operation, but it later switched to 2 and also became a walk on so I got a few rides and the new colour scheme looks great, reminds me of a tiny Millennium Force. El Condor...... I skipped, once a few years ago was enough. Robin Hood was running well, I waited 10mins, Its not a bad coaster at all, Yes it's rough but it has some cracking air time. And speed of sound had a 15 min wait, and for a Boomerang its pretty good. Nice vest restraints the theming is cool, the tunnel makes its that extra bit interesting.. I'm still not good anymore at going backwards on rides, Still blaming Namtab in 2015 LOL So on to the photos.. The entrance main street if you will We arrived! Literally one amazing coaster Loved the theming Great drop upside down a definite must ride if you haven't Thats this element called? was weird but I loved it Thumbs up for air time and drop, everything Not the worst.. Good ole Vekoma Woodie Break run, the moment you thank god your alive still lift hill shot more lift hill goodness Space shot, I love a good tower ride Great centre piece for the park Gave this a miss i fear of feeling sick - Not as tolerable as I used to be I thought this Huss magic was cool looking Also gave it a miss, One time at Alton Towers I went on an enterprise...... you know how that turned out El Condor! ..... Photographs well If only she rode as good as she looked Obligatory Shot lift hill, I love this coaster is great and packs a punch Geek shot The Queue Entrance and a view of the lift well...The best boomerang i'v been on, how about you? Loop de lopp It's kinda tricky to get pictures of Express Platform 13 from inside the park This was taken from the rapid ride station Rapids!!!! Was actually a pretty good flume! And as we left I took a couple photos of blue Goliath from the car And one last one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoasterKid211 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm still not a huge fan of the blue Goliath, it just doesn't look all that great compared to the green IMO. However, awesome photos! This place is definitely high on my bucket list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 ^Hey, even Goliath gets the blues sometimes. Thanks for the report. This is a slightly underrated park. I was there last year, and our group was blown away by Lost Gravity (not to mention Goliath). All it needs is a good dark ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxedomask5432 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I love any new paint job on coasters. I think the blue is a nice change, slightly generic and millennium force-like. Overall the park looks amazing well kept in the photographs. Definitely a bucket list park for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry M Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Great tr! What happened at Alton Towers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I think Speed of Sound is one of my favourite boomerangs, from around the world. And Goliath is AWESOME, no matter what colour they paint it! And Spinning Vibe was definitely my favourite flat ride there. ...And I have no idea ^ what happened at Alton Towers. Great TR! Thanks for sharing your trip there. It's a fave park of mine, and I hope I'll get to visit it again, some time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterB Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Great tr! What happened at Alton Towers? I was just joking about the enterprise as I think the last enterprise I rode was at Alton Towers many years ago, It made me feel funny and I threw up in my dads car. So I haven't been on one since haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay101 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Walibi Holland looks like a phenomenal park. I wish that America had more rides like Lost Gravity and Goliath. I do wish Goliath was green though as there already is already plenty of blue Intamins around but that's just my opinion. On a side note, Spinning Vibe is one of the most interesting names for a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I thought it was one of the nicest and best laid out "franchise parks" I'd been to, in a long time. Definitely worth a re-visit, now that Lost Gravity is open. I made new friends at Walibi Holland! Taken Sept.12-2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
