  1. The Transformers Tour has been everywhere? Guess Twinlakes is having an Universal themed Halloween event as well... The park(s) still have queueline tvs?
  2. Efteling released official POVs of the ride today on their YouTube... Not linking though because the temptation to actually watch would be too great...
  3. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ While I enjoy IMAScore, the Lost City theme didn't need changing...

    There are better ways to plead the case than constantly moaning to the Twitter team who ONLY KNOW SO MUCH! If you want to moan about the closure, email the park, fill out the screens, go to guest services... The Twitter team are probably just as sick of it as us lot that there's no news... It's not like they're deliberately leading us on a goose chase about it...

    The constant stream of people asking questions isn't helping either... When the park/football team/corporate entity have something to announce, they will announce it... Badgering them about something is just grating down on everyone's nerves...
  6. Stay on-site and you get tickets included in the overall price, so either book via the main website or go look on Trivago (might get lucky and find something cheaper)... +1 Express Pass requirement...
  7. Nope, always existed, much like Woodland Walk...
  8. To be fair, I would wager a good part of the reason behind this refurb is to fit in VR... Although should they add a dedicated second station for it that'll improve things massively, though I've no idea HOW they will fit in another station...
  9. Damn, would've been a new cred with a new layout
  10. It's always had one, because people are obsessed with them for whatever reason...
  11. Surely Flying coasters are one of the few ride types where the front row experience isn't exactly different from the others?

    Will EU laws matter by the time Thorpe decide what to do with it?
  13. The flume is rather unfinished unfortunately (unless they've gone for a big bag cave theme), maybe they'll complete the theming but it's very sad to see given the general quality of the project...
  14. I thought that massive building DID used to have a dark ride in it? Makes sense for the theatre to go in there though, tbh I completely forgot it was next door to the Boomerang when making some comments... Would've loved Stunt Fall to be at Walibi, we need more GIBs... I wouldn't be surprised if any refurb to the Boomerang would involve the new trains that both other Walibis have seen (although the one in Rhone-Alpes has the TERRIFYING METAL LAP BARS)... I'll well behind a new Gerst Bobsled, they're fab; and this one looks like Rattenmuhle in Austria, which is REALLY fab... Only things that are really being missed off this apparent park wide refurb (there's further plans for Psyke Underground and Flashback after what I initially posted) are Tut, the Madhouse and the Rapids... Unless the Madhouse and Rapids are being included as part of the Boomerang area refurb? Which could be interesting with a Bollywood theme... I do think Walibi have started to get their heads sorted in a good direction now, kinda lost their way after the initial rebrand but seeing plans like this makes me happy... As it means a park with good potential is getting the love and care it deserves through both new investment and refurbishment... EDIT There's more concept art on their Facebook but can't get it at work, so have a look!
  15. Walibi held a little get together today and announced their next few years: 2018: New waterpark expansion (meh) New tiki themed area (by Tut dark ride, the Ladybird is being spited) New family cred (looks like a Bobsled, Gerst looks like) 2019: New park entrance (no idea if just retheme or relocation) New kiddy cred (apparently with a Bollywood theme?) New rethemed area with Boomerang (assume this will be Bollywood?) Revolving theatre (somewhere) Restaurants (yay) 2020: Far West retheme (this has been rumoured for years, Skunx area needs to happen <3) New Mack Twist and splash ride (meh) 2021: Vampire and Werewolf creds getting makeover (New Orleans theme kinda like what's already nearby) New mega coaster with African theme in new land expansion (Mack?) Here's a look at what the Tiki cred will look like (via Coasterfriends.de): And it's only just outside Brussels for those of you thinking about a visit...
  16. It's gonna be the VR on the Frog Hopper isn't it?
  17. It's REALLY going well... http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent-business/county-news/exclusive-paramount-park-deal-collapses-127581/

    Thorpe felt you didn't have much new to moan about so decided to close it for the lulz...
  19. Let's be honest, we all wished Air was like it was in the advert... Guess the question is will it still be that Vekoma.... THING? Or have they gone to B&M?
  20. Perhaps if the scenery was designed to accommodate lighting levels to a higher degree it wouldn't be an issue? Bubbleworks was never darkly lit for example...
  21. Last one before it opens in 2 weeks...
  22. Like every free trial thing then? Interesting freebie though, but only Cinema? When Game of Thrones is coming?
  23. Let's hope it stays open until next year then...

    The Flume

    Valley has been mooted a few times, most famously for the SW6 woodie (which is over a decade ago now!)... SW8 was rumoured to be a launched RMC going on the Air car park, though it's probably had several guises...
