I'm going to elaborate on my Efteling/Walibi Holland trip before I forget everything. Besides Condawful and the kiddie coasters (so Max & Moritz and the two at Walibi).
Baron 1898
Unexpectedly loved this? It's visually gorgeous, the theming is great, the story is a nice aspect, and the drop surprised me, especially in the back. Plus I got airtime coming out the immleman, thought these things were supposed to do nothing.

Got both sides, banger ride. First drop goes crazy and the laterals are nuts, plus the duelling is great and on my first ride on the one side I even got Python cycling in my peripheral vision. This is essentially what I wish Wicker Man was.
Python
Not a huge amount to say, very well maintained and quite smooth. Definitely one of those old school loopers with some decent positive Gs.
Vliegende Hollander
This is an odd one because it's part dark ride, part coaster, part water ride, but doesn't really fully commit to all of them. The coaster part was not actually bad or anything, I liked it. The queue and the initial dark ride sequence are better though, but the dark ride section is just a bit short.
Vogel Rok
How much more black can you get? And the answer is none, none more black.

Spoke about this in the RMC ranking thread, but basically both sides are pretty good but not stellar. I found the chill side better for the airtime and also because it was easier to notice the duelling aspect as you're not constantly going upside down. Probably slots 4 and 5 at Walibi Holland for me.
Goliath
Bangin'. It's definitely an older type of ride with big helices but it was awesome getting on this after seeing it in RCT2 all those years ago. The first drop and camelback plus the last 3 hills all go really hard, and I love the sequence on the lake for the visual element even if the intensity isn't as strong there. The S-hills towards the back were pretty good as well due to the whip. This would have blown my mind if I'd ridden it 20 years ago or even 15.
Untamed
Best coaster of the trip, obviously. I think Hyperia does the outward banked turn into the lift hill better. It's obviously a blitz of airtime and has a good length to it as well so it doesn't feel too brief. I touched on this in the RMC ranking thread as well, but some highlights are the first drop, the double inversion after the speed hill (probably the best part of the ride), one random camelback after the first turn, the double up and down, going into the structure near the end, and the wave turns. I will say I wasn't as fond of the other 3 inversions as the rest of the ride and a couple of the hills towards the end kind of got a bit stale as I like a little bit more variety usually, but these are really only minor nitpicks in the grand scheme of things.
Xpress Platform 13
Amazing queue line, probably better than the actual coaster. The launch is pretty good but I don't really have a strong opinion on the rest of the ride.
Speed of Sound
My first Vekoma Boomerang babyyyy
No but really I didn't hate it. Shockingly forceful and hanging up the lift backwards feels freaky. A little bit gross in terms of positives though but it has vests, so at least no headbanging, though I actually didn't find it that rough anyway.
Lost Gravity
Last one to talk about - I used the single rider line on both rides so probably missed most of the theming in favour of getting pretty much walkons. This was another first, my first Big Dipper. The first drop and top hat are insane, the airtime is ridiculous. The first half overall was really stellar. Unfortunately, after the break run it is less impressive. The inversions were not bad and there's some good airtime moments, but it also gets a fair bit rougher in this portion (especially if you're on a wing seat) and it has more banked turns that aren't as fun as the stuff beforehand. I think this is what led me to put Goliath at number 2 for this park and not Lost Gravity. Still, top 3 in this park is no mean feat.
