Mega-Lite Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Thickest Kicks just made my morning, I love the Dutch! Although hard gaarn or however you spell it was brilliant too, so I'm sad to see that go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Lastest rumours suggest that Walibi are now planning their new coaster to open in 2020, instead of 2019. I doubt it's a coincidence that this comes off the back of Efteling saying that their big new area featuring a coaster is coming in 2020. Surprising really, as I'd have thought the park would want to avoid essentially competing with Efteling, and instead have a year where they've got the big new for the Netherlands. Unless they're planning on just riding off of Efteling's popularity to try and get more foreigners visit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Who know that the Netherlands would be one of the most exciting coaster countries of this decade.. JoshC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Two potentially exciting additions to the Dutch park’s sounds great. I wonder if Toverland will get something new agsin? I don’t have 2020 vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind one of the new Mack spinning coasters a la Time Traveller either. Certainly would plug a hole and fit the unique for Europe bill.. Though if we're being realistic, it'll probably just end being the S&S free spin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 And in a twist, it looks like the park have decided to do their big new thing for 2019, and it'll seemingly be an RMC of their Vekoma woodie, Robin Hood: https://www.facebook.com/walibiholland/posts/1857198800988568 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Some quotes from the park: This is the dream of many amusement park fans in Europe. We are very happy that we can now make it known. The speed will naturally be a lot higher, the rest will be announced at a later stage. The ride will close in September, and open July 1st next year. There'll be a new name and theme. https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/9499/Walibi-Holland-vervangt-Robin-Hood-door-hypermoderne-houten-achtbaan.html Fantastic to see more serious investment in the park, and more stuff in The Netherlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega-Lite Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Goliath, Lost Gravity and an RMC?! Nice to see the park doing a Liseberg and replacing their meh stuff with coasters more fitting. Fantastic news, very excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LK_ Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I dunno which RMC I'm more interested in, Energylandias for the height or this for the inversions and twisty stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Scott's a happy soul, isn't he? I guess this will be our most accessible RMC from the UK for now, certainly considering a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Energylandia is also very easy to get to as well, and I imagine if you hunt around, the cost of flights isn't that different. So we're spoilt for choice! Just need one in the UK now please..

Martin Doyle Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 About time Europe started getting more RMC’s to go along with Wildfire!! Now if the UK could hurry up and give us one, that would very much be appreciated!! Untamed looks like it’s going to be a very strong contender for the best coaster in Europe when it’s open (It’s RMC so I’d expect nothing less than a solid coaster) and will also make Walibi Holland a real must do park given the park also consists of Goliath, Lost Gravity and El Condor.... ok only two of those are great!!... jury is still out on Lost Gravity. Can’t wait to get to this park at some time in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
