Looks like Pulsar is back up and running according to the queue times sites (can't access the official Walibi app because they don't seem to know how EU market now works).

I wonder if the problem is somehow related with the trains? I did find it odd that they were only running one train three weeks ago when the queue was reaching up to 50 minutes (longest in the park) and everything else was running at max capacity.

I've never really been on a proper ERT session, but have visited some of the parks on really quiet days; Troy - 15 times (2015) Hyperspace Mountain (Hong Kong) - 12 times (2019) Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars - 11 times (2019) Hals-über-Kopf - 10 times (2022) Katun - 9 times (2009)...

I'm not really into writing long trip reports these days anymore, but writing something up about a cred run I did an hour ago is no biggie. The funfair organized by Slovenia's largest funfair operator Lunapark Müller is back to Ljubljana and this time round it did feature a cred, so I squeezed...

I only started ranking coasters after joining CoasterForce in 2011, so I've had 3 'official' #1s over these 11 years or so; 2011-2016: X2, SFMM 2016-2022: Taron, Phantasialand 2022: Ride to Happiness, Plopsaland de Panne And a bit of a honorary mention to Katun, which would've been my favorite...

@Eyebrows, if it makes you feel any better, I have a similar story from my pre-proper enthusiast years. I was quite into coasters from when my dad first showed me rcdb in early 2009. So for the first two years and a bit, rcdb was the only window I had into the world of coasters. In early 2011...

Going through what I've done, these ones stood out the most: Movieland Park (it's been an absolute eternity since I've last been there (they still had a powered Pinfari as their sole cred), but Magma was great fun on both our visits) Universal Studios Hollywood (Revenge of the Mummy is a decent...

Gosh, I only just noticed this trip report. We were in Walibi that same day and did we by any chance bump into you while queueing for Tutankhamon (or at least I remember James and Thom chatting with a British enthusiast, while I was off zoning out a few meters away)? Either way, there seemed to...

I know that the old Eurosat was loved by some, but I've found it just too rough to be enjoyable on my two visits in 2010 and 2016. The new Eurosat definitely has superior theming and actually gives France an appropriately themed ride (the old Eurosat and the Mercedes showroom that is Silver Star...

Oh, definitely. Coming from someone whose native language is spoken by a bit more than 2m people, you would struggle to find people that don't speak at least one foreign language and it's mostly English for anyone that was still in school after Yugoslavia's dissolution. Slovenia is also on the...

I've been on the same trip as @ThomVD and @CookieCoasters were, so obviously the new toys have brought some big changes to my top 50. As always new stuff in bold, movers in italics; 1. Ride to Happiness, Plopsaland De Panne 2. Taron, Phantasialand 3. Kondaa, Walibi Belgium 4. Flying...

Yeah, afaik you only get a fast pass for FLY (and some nice photo ops of Rookburgh) if you're staying at Lindbergh, so we opted for staying somewhere in Bruhl when we visited earlier this week. Also, the single rider queues are gone for the time being, but hopefully they'll return before long.

Hah, I think we were just on Silver Star at that time, but I don't think it was us you saw in the queueline, but James seems to disagree with me. Looking at your photos, I think we did walk past your parents later in the day when you split up. As for Silver Star, it could be possible that it...

Great report, Matt! We're in the park too these two days (yesterday and today) and we were having great time there as well. We didn't think Silver Star was quite as its best yesterday, but hopefully they'll ease on the trims a bit in the coming days. You have to get a ride on Wodan later in the...

Damn, Shaman was actually running pretty fine before the re-track in 2019. The layout obviously isn't particularly inspired, but it tracked really well for a 30+ years old coaster. I have no idea what they managed to do with the re-track, but it sounds like a nice example of botched theme park...

Yeah, strictly speaking coasters, these are the ones I've done in their opening years: 2005 - Leprotto Express, Mirabilandia 2008 - Mammut, Gardaland 2009 - iSpeed, Mirabilandia 2011 - Raptor, Gardaland 2012 - Divertical, Mirabilandia 2013 - Smiler, Alton Towers 2015 - Baron 1898, Efteling 2015...

We did something similar on our way to Australia with my dad. Arrived to Abu Dhabi airport at 7:30 am, took a bus to the city (taking a few photographs of the Grand Mosque en route) and then tried taking a bus to the Yas Island. That didn't go as planned, as we apparently took the wrong bus that...

Oh, I'm with you on this one. The first time I went was with an Efteling-fan friend on an overcast low season weekday with showers in the forecast (that did materialize later in the day). It was great, the crowds were at a very reasonable level and we managed to do everything and ended up the...

Oh god, thanks for the idea @Matt N that ended up with me compiling this list of 102 stations that I've visited so far. I'm probably missing a few places where I only transfered, but other than that, this is close to a complete list. To break it down: Australia (10) : Barron Katoomba Kuranda...

Are you sure that's an Energizer? To me it looks more like a Pinfari XP56, probably the one that's owned by Freij Entertainment, as the color scheme appears to match.
