JoshC. Posted July 4 Author Report Share Posted July 4 https://kanaalz.knack.be/nieuws/walibi-heropent-op-een-kwart-van-z-n-capaciteit/video-normal-1616365.html Some details about Walibi Belgium is the above article: The park lost approx €15m during Belgium's lockdown. Like some parks here, they hadn't yet opened before the Lockdowns started, and only opened on Wednesday The new Intamin Mega is a €25m investment in total, and the ride is on track to open in April next year That is of course part of a €100m investment plan of the park. This plan was to take place between 2018-2023, but the park have confirmed this will now be finished by 2025. I don't think that's totally down to Covid either, as plans for last year and this year had been delayed Compaigne des Alpes, the parent company who own all Walibi parks as well as Parc Asterix, took out a €200m loan during Lockdown Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoshC. Posted July 11 Author Report Share Posted July 11 We have some lovely dark green track onsite: The animation released at IAAPA in 2018 showed red track, but I believe that was just for ease of show. I'm under the impression the layout is unchanged. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoshC. Posted July 25 Author Report Share Posted July 25 This has been going up quickly... From Theme Park Magic, Facebook The first drop is going to be magnificent imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Creek Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 Well that escalated quickly. First drop looks great, hopefully the rest of the ride will follow-suite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Martin Doyle Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 Trains now on track for the new Intamin mega coaster. The rumoured name for this thing going around seems to be "Mata" and the theming will be heavily african inspired. This aswell as the new Plopsa spinner seems to make Belgium must do next season.....assuming this blasted pandemic and the restrictions that come with it ease off ofcourse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mattgwise Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 Certainly looks to be another solid coaster from Intamin. 2021 is definitely Intamins year. Will certainly be interested in a Belgium trip if things allow it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Creek Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 This honestly looks incredible. Belgium is now back towards the top of my bucket list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoshC. Posted November 16 Author Report Share Posted November 16 Trains look great. Ride looks great. Theming looks great. Everything looks great. I've heard the rumours about Mata being the name, but some people seem unconvinced. I'm not sure it's the best name out there, so hoping for something else. But yeah, very much looking forward to this. Martin Doyle 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
