Pretty sure that George R.R. Martin will have to go after them for that first one.
The second is bigger, with 20-rider trains, a track length of 770+m and 40m high with a maximum speed of 100km/h.

Looks to be this/similar to this, although with an extra car;The second is bigger, with 20-rider trains, a track length of 770+m and 40m high with a maximum speed of 100km/h.
Possibly something to keep an eye: Walibi Belgium are having problems with their neighbours.
(sorry for the ooooooo source)Raad van State trekt vergunning van Walibi Belgium in
Het geluidsniveau van Walibi Belgium moet per direct omlaag. Dat is het gevolg van een beslissing van de Belgische Raad van State. Buurtbewoners van...www.looopings.nl
In short:
-Walibi Belgium had issues with their neighbours in the past (which caused problems with investments in the late 00s / early 2010s)
-In 2018, the park had a new permit which allowed an increase in the ambient noise the park could produce (from 55dB to 60dB), as well as some extra noise allowed in the evenings for events.
-This permit has now been revoked, follows complaints from locals.
What this means, I don't know. If, theoretically, newer rides which cause noise which exceeds the old ambient noise level, I wonder if that could cause some operations issues for those rides? Or if it will just end up affecting opening hours?
So yeah, maybe something to keep an eye on.
Maybe our resident Walibi Belgium expert has more of an idea @KristofWB ?
I wanna make the joke so badly right now.Not exactly theme park news per se but ACE are expanding into Europe with a new "ACE Europe" region.
Interesting.
