Looks nice, whilst the green paint looked good fresh its pretty bland when its faded. I like the blue!
I like the blue. It reminds me of blu Fire at Europa. And that's a good thing.
Agreed black and blue looks sweet but all blue is just too much!Some of the supports on the first hill appear to be blue too? I hope not, as the black/blue combo looks really good.
As jayjay says, I was always pretty fond of the green, but I can't deny that does look great.
Didn't Walibi Holland announced they'll have "The Clinic" permanent in the park, with an added VR section?Just re read this, isn't that where 'The Clinic' was for Halloween?
It appears to be a blue wrap over black supports. You can see some of the seams in the pictures.Some of the supports on the first hill appear to be blue too?
I couldn't find the correct place to post but here's a POV with goliaths new paint job. I think it's a vast improvement from the garish yet tired green. Not sure if it's related to the paint but it also seems to be running much faster then when I rode on the CF live last year!
It's not actuay 'The Clinic', like what appeared at Halloween Fright Nights. This is something completely separate that has a completely different narrative, running alongside the halloween version - it's much more commercially designed.It really doesn't give away what it is in the end, does it? Imagine the poor people going inside without knowing what's going to happen...!
Last season (2016), it added its first new rollercoaster for over a decade. Lost Gravity from Mack Rides features a 680m-long layout together with eye-catching 8-seater semi-winged ride vehicles. Prior to this, the park’s last big attraction investment was a Splash Battle added in 2005.
Lost Gravity has been a hit with teenagers and hints at the future direction for this park in Flevoland, an hour north of Amsterdam. Its popular Fright Nights are becoming more elaborate and intense each Halloween. During the course of the year, Walibi Holland also provides the backdrop to several music festivals. A “huge new ride” is planned for 2020.
“Walibi Holland is an interesting park,” says Fassier. “Its target market is young adults first, families second. That is why we might take the choice to rebrand it and communicate a little bit differently to the other parks of the group. The risk is that families have more money compared to young adults. So part of our strategy would be to develop other kinds of business, festivals and so on. Over the past five years we have totally developed the campgrounds. Then we are thinking about adding some lodges. I think we could move away from the Walibi theme to a festival theme. When you come into this park, there is always a festival atmosphere.”
Were the Dutch park to be rebranded, then Fassier says it wouldn’t bother him having one less park in the Walibi chain.
