    Walibi Holland + Fright Night Questions

    I think you made an excellent selection, showcasing all the best stuff they have to offer. Very curious to hear your experiences, especially as a first timer. The fast lane is per person, but can be used by anybody within the group if you pass him/her the phone. You reserve a spot through the...

    Walibi Holland + Fright Night Questions

    No idea if the info is still relevant for you but I will try to answer it as extensive as possible. I grouped some of your stuff together. Fastlane I used to say yes, but with the current price increase its more expensive than a seperate daily ticket. For people that live nearby, I would...

    Walibi Holland + Fright Night Questions

    Hi Tichkhan, first of all welcome to the forum! I'll try to reframe your questions in a question/answer format. If there is any question missing feel free to drop it. Transporation Bus or car? There is a direct bus connection between Harderwijk station and Walibi. Its 27 min and it runs every...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    From what I heard almost every component of the Big Dipper has been revisited and improved for this model. Either they want to differentiate, but I suspect that this replaces the Big Dipper model.

    Paris is not subtle either, see spoiler. You should take a look at their physical maps, theres sponsors and ad's everywhere.

    No it's a silhouette of the layout from the side.

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    The Disney audience perceives Cosmic Rewind as too intense, I think that says enough about the difference between the two resorts.

    Toverland's Expansion Plan

    Fenix will only be open for the Halloween month and the Christmas vacation. After the christmas vacation it will close enough until probably something like the spring vacation. The attraction in the middle of the helix is rumoured to be a Gerstlauer Sky Fly based on the permits.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I forgot if this was already known information, but according to Looopings the permit mentions a height of 28 meters and 1600 meters of track.

    Lost Gravity actually manages that quite some times. Each staff only has to check 4 restraints, I think that during Halloween they even have 4 staff in the station so each one only checks 2 restraints. Look at how EP runs Silver Star, 36 secs for this should be easy peasy.

    Because you need a lot of blocks then. Hagrid's has 8 of them. If you want a similar capacity (1600) on a similar track length (1500m), with a capacity half of it you need approx double the blocks. If we are staying with the current big dipper trains I see two tracks of 800m (dueling or mobius)...

    A big dipper car sits 8, chain two of them together (similar to how Maurer did it with Rip Ride Rockit) and you get two additional seats more than Hagrid's his trains. As long as you make the distance between the two trains big enough you can still make the tight curves and drops.

    It doesn’t have to be a dueling coaster, Hagrids matches those stats aswell. Similar length and capacity, but that is assuming they will make a long big dipper train.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    If they really want that throughput they have to work with bigger trains. Maybe they are going to do a hagrids with multiple launches and make it a family coaster. Would make sense looking at the stats. Maybe even make a family wing launch coaster? Afik MACK doesn’t have a version of a...

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    I am actually kind off surprised Universal would go for another launch coaster after Hagrids and Velocicoaster. Especially the latter. Oh and isn't the How to train your dragon supposed to be a launch coaster aswell?

    Universal IoA | Jurassic World VelociCoaster | Intamin Blitz | 2021

    2 months isn't that far away, plus Universal probably wants to avoid the Hagrid's scenario at all cost. So I understand why they want to really thoroughly test this before opening. Plus there is still a limited capacity which is going to increase greatly once the majority is vaccinated. Which in...

    Thats the same Thursday that Hagrid's opened in 2019, lets hope that the similarities stop there 😂 .

    Have we seen 6 person cars on this kind of coaster before?

    Judging from the concert art theres going to be a part outside aswell?

    Phantasialand | F. L. Y. | Vekoma Launched Flying Coaster | 2020

    Custom designed was problaby a better word :). Seven Dwarfs, Tron, Grizzly, Expedition Everst and Guardians all are custom designed by Vekoma&Imagineering. Not that I think a flying coaster would be a good fit for Disney, but if they really wanted the rights for this coaster they probably could...
