Walibi Belgium: General Discussion

[Pleasure Beach Valhalla]

Yh Belgium, Germany and Netherlands are good at keeping steady investment lines that don't top Energylandia of course but I'd something a few parks in the UK could learn from!

It would be nice to see more competition in the UK, and we have seen it more so recently with Paultons park and flamingo land makings major additions. However whilst the hierarchy of merlin own the majority of major parks, they will see no reason to make a competition between parks that they own in my opinion. Also the fact we are an island nation and ending free movement will only be more detrimental to the UK park industry, but it will benefit European parks. Back on topic now

Images by the park showing the train on the tracks. Ooft!

 

[Burbs]

Looks a bit slow.

Oh crap I'm early.

Are you saying you can't judge the rides speed from a still picture? Call yourself an enthusiast...

Looks slow

 

[Pleasure Beach Valhalla]

Those trains certainly are something!

 

[Rob]

Everything about this looks pretty damn incredible. I love the trains!

 

[Sharko]

MY GOD...look at the outward banking on that airtime hill.

 

[Danny]

I'm looking forward to seeing this knock Hyperion down some people's rankings.

 

[Sharko]

How much would it cost to have The Big One knocked down and this built in it's place?

Hyperion is my no.1. So I’m definitely heading out there for opening! Looks incredible

 

[Rob]

We have testing!



Got to say, it looks awfully slow. What a waste of an investment...!

Sure! Theming looks impressive and it looks to dominate the skyline (obvs) but i think it's slow because it only started testing! Remember with Hakugei, looked slow and turned out to be a monster!

Kondaa is the name according to RCDB.

I’m loving the look of that; the pacing through those elements looks spot on!

European coasters really are starting to make ours in the UK look rather bland and boring aren't they?

 

[AstroDan]

I think it's important to remember that Europe is made up of dozens of countries.

The UK is just one country. Belgium is just one country. If you compare the UK to an entire continent then, yes, it's going to be outdone on coasters.

Think you might have slightly misinterpreted what I meant there. Obviously UK alone can't compete vs the entire continent.

I just meant the individual coasters being built in several European parks are stand alone better than the UK counterparts now.

Icon is probably the most exciting coaster we've had for a while. Seems plenty of European parks have made much better rides recently.

That was the point.

I mean at the moment with planned, upcoming, and recent openings in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Sweden are all doing things that put the UK industry to shame.
