Walibi Belgium Review | Wavre, Belgium Theme Park

[@ClemAparia]

Tutankhamun dark ride path change based on your score + if you manage to kill the bosses. If you get a high score you will unlock a longer route and if you manage to kill tutankhamun during it you will get to the treasure room ! So, there is 3 different path in total, longest one making the right almost 50% longer than basic route ! The shooting is absolutely necessary because of that, plus it make the re-ridability through the roof, otherwise you do it once or twice and that's it. I've been doing that ride since years and I always love it, it has to be one of the only dark ride in a park i'll never skip doing no matter how often I go to the park !

[@CoasterStudios]

I had no idea about the different ending, that is very very cool!

[@bensel1547]

Dalton is a name from a well known belgian comic (and cartoon) called lucky luke, the villains are the dalton brothers. (which were an actual gang in the wild west)

[@AVdE10000]

Back in the Six Flags days and a little while after that, the ride featured statues of the brothers on the gondolas, but they had to be removed due to a character licence expiring. Now they replaced the statues with a generic image of a skull with a face mask, such a downgrade

[@hubertberrum6242]

fun fact, the first cartoon show of that series was by Hanna Barbera the same company who made the Smurfs cartoon(another belgain comic)

[@BaronDiacre]

it's not belgium, it's french and the author (Goscinny) is the same as Astérix and Obélix, who have their own theme park

[@Murena13]

@@BaronDiacre you are completely wrong. Lucky Luke is a belgian comic by belgian author Morris. He collaborated with Goscinny on many occasions for the scenarios but he's the creator, the illustrator and the writer.

[@mariusmertens114]

This is my homepark and I share my opinion with you. I had a blast showing you and your group around the park when we could and seeing your first impressions on some of the attractions was so nice. Thanks for the great review, just about everything a thoosie should know about this park when they visit.

[@timokho20]

2:14 lol thats such an American thing to say that an indoor water park is weird considering the weather in the Benelux is absolutely trash. Almost all the waterparks here are indoor.

[@alexs1168]

6:51 that’s what she said

[@m.hoffman2889]

concerning the Aqualibi, they're getting a big expansion with an aquacoaster, a bowl and a quarterpipe slide

[@thecoasterman682]

I will visit Walibi Belgium this summer. I'm really excited to meet kondaa for the first ever time. To see if she can defeat kärnan at Hansa park.

[@martainevo]

A 10 year investment plan that they're halfway through says they'll do changes to the western area, the area where loup-garou is in and the Pulsar area. The western area is getting a sidecar XL this year named Silverton. The Pulsar/flashback zone would be more harbour themed in the future and the zone of loup-garou would become a more new orleans styled zone. So maybe we'll still get an RMC... 🤞. And the new slides of Aqualibi this year are of course also part of this expansion.

[@GianniTheodoor]

Also adding: the plan is delayed due to covid and the floods of last year ..

[@maxhagenauer24]

Definitely an underated park. It may not have the collection of Walibi Holland but it still has quite some unique rides like Psyké Underground and Pulsar. And the drop tower and Kondaa are really good looking rides.

[@Thegaming-el8om]

It’s the ORIGINAL walibi

[@brickTopia-stopmotion]

​@The gaming 6 yes, but the rides of walibi Holland are better in general. Only Kondaa is is really good.

[@bhb3501]

@@brickTopia-stopmotion Hahahaha, Dutch people...

[@stonie13]

At the tutenchamun dark ride you actually go a different path at the end if you get enough points. So its worth shooting for sure

[@CoasterStudios]

I actually did not know that, thats cool! I still feel like the shooting aspect takes a back seat in the ride experience, but thats just me

[@djstoplichtofficial]

Scrap the SLC, use its space + Loup Garou to build a huge RMC or GCI hybrid (or maybe even better a GG woodie upgrade), then add an outdoor launch coaster in the back area of the park and boom, coaster line up complete👌

[@ValueNetwork]

“This area is Arabian themed” shows the most stereotypical Indian theming possible including hindi and a big billboard with Bollywood written on it

[@CoasterStudios]

Ah crap! my apologies!

[@raingirlcat2245]

@studio732jrl2 It was a joke 😂 suck it up

[@raingirlcat2245]

@studio732jrl2 The commenter was pointing out the Indian theming. If you know what hindi writing looks like, it’s quite obvious.

[@MrJakson112]

That's what to be expected from seppos

[@MXCars-m4]

Im happy that you said you wanted to see them redo the older sections of the park because that are going to be doing that, next year, flashback ans psyke are going to be rethemed which means to ugly queue of psyke is going to be gone, there is also a new rollercoaster coming. they are also planning to change the vampire and loup-garou section, which at season opening yesterday, i saw they arlready changed the path. I hope you get the change to go back soon when they upgraded the park again.

[@giowalibi]

I've been a regular pass member in this park since 2016 and I agree with you. Little note: Dalton Terror used to be themed around the Dalton Brothers from the Lucky Luke strips but since the license expired, they changed it to a regular logo, still using Dalton Terror as name.

[@Disturbed666METAL]

Went there last Year in May. With Kondaa they have one of the best Coasters in Europe in my opinion. I loved Tikki Waka and the two pewpew Dark Rides. I mean when you are in Belgium and on your way to De Panne you can visit Walibi😅 luckily Belgium is not so big

[@mitchellries256]

People were talking about Wallibi Holland all the time because of Goliath and Untamed, but nobody was talking about this place. Now that Kondaa has opened up, that's all we they can talk about.

[@madwatchstudios]

3:26 really curious what that interaction was...

[@Joemama..]

This was one of three parks in Europe I went to last summer

[@kaworunagisa7477]

I think the wooden coaster is still popular because in Europe wooden coasters are kinda rare. Wooden coasters are a more USA thing most of the big wooden coaster manufactures are there.

[@clubstep8244]

True they are pretty rare. Out of 92 coasters i rode (in europe) only 7 were wooden coasters

[@drdewott9154]

Yeah kinda. Wooden coasters always have a bit of a reputation here as being classic and classy, not as extreme but shaky. And Loup Garou certainly fits that bill. Much of the public here still find it hard to believe that new wooden coasters can be built. I mean heck I've heard people say they believe rides like Falken at Fårup Sommerland are from the 1930's.

[@carlmathias4208]

The gerstlaur bobsled model is supposed to be a upgraded of a wild mouse

[@jukajo]

Rode Loup Garou twice and got wildly different ride experiences. First ride, daytime in May, it was incredibly rough. Not fun at all, just painful. Almost didn't go back on it but man, on the second ride, nightride on Halloween, it was absolutely phenomenal. Still a little bumpy but not bad at all, so the great layout got to shine. The airtime moments were so much fun! Easily one of the best roller coaster rides I ever had. Before I wanted it to be RMC'd, too, but now I honestly hope they'll just do a regular retracking 😅🤣 Going back in April and hoping it won't break my heart, hahaha. Update: Rode it again a few days ago. Still very bumpy but also quite a lot of fun! :D

[@AVdE10000]

I honestly love it for its wild nature. The ride used to be a lot better in the past because it wasn't quite so rough, but mainly because the padding in the leather seats was so much softer, so it didn't matter that you were shaken around a lot. It added to the charm of it. So yeah, this ride doesn't need to get rmc'd, it just needs some quality TLC and it's bound to be one of the better wooden coasters in its area

[@dorientjewoller113]

Why does every wooden rollercoaster be transformed to an RMC. Before Plopsaland, The Werewolf was the only wooden rollercoaster in Belgium. Why wouldn't a good retracking of this coaster not better suited for this classic. Seems a lot of visitors, as you said, love the coaster.

[@CoasterStudios]

Not every wooden roller coaster needs to get RMC'd. Just the bad ones :)

[@oof3397]

@@CoasterStudios But the layout of Loup Garou is actually good! If it gets some titan track in some valleys and such it would be a much better ride

[@timdruyts5025]

The thing is that American parks have mostly more than one wooden coaster. So, it's okay to RMC one of them. In Europe there is maximum one wooden coaster. And they are mostly the most popular attraction of the park. Becasue it's family and thrill orientated. So, RMC that one, very popular wooden ride is less obivious.

[@djstoplichtofficial]

​@Patrick Holland Imagine if either of those parks got something like Leviathan from Gravity Group🤤

[@ya_boi_seba]

The ending of "challenge of tutankhamon" depends of the amount of points you gather. If you get a good score you will enter an extra (treasure)room

[@kevinbhieey9188]

Welcome to northern Europe, where indoor waterparks are EVERYWHERE. 80% of Rulantica (@ Europa Park) is indoors. I had planned on going to Walibi when I was in Brussels last year, but there was a chance of rain every single one of the 11 days I was there. I did read up on it though, and there is a plan to update all of the lands (I didn't see anything on the kiddie land, though). Next up is supposed to be your Western land with a new flat ride, and at least one other on the way, with the possibility of a new coaster when all that is done.

[@drdewott9154]

Yeah. One of the biggest examples I could list is probably Tikibad at Duinrell in the Netherlands. Duinrell isn't even a particularly big park, its nice for sure but also quite off the radar for enthusiasts, but their indoor waterpark is huge and quite something. Interestingly in Scandinavia, basically all parks with an attached waterpark have theirs outdoors and included in admission, like Fårup, Djurs, Skara sommarland, Bø Sommerland, Tusenfryd, and so on.

[@vatza1344]

Wouhouuu, my home park! :p If you've got questions I may have the answers :D And also I'm looking for coaster buddies, so if you live in belgium (or not :p )and are interested to go to walibi tell me! My friends don't like coasters too much, so I'm looking for other people to go with :p

[@Yumeko1996_-sd5sm]

Nah let the boomerang and slc sit where they are they are classics and i love them, seeing those coasters always gives me the early 2000s vibes :) i love those old coasters idk why probably because of nostalgia

[@kylelegg6837]

This is also my home park. I think it has potential, but it just feels a bit too much like a boring Six Flags park. I think as a one-day visit it's fine, but not so great for too many repeat visits. So many EU parks set the bar high with theming, atmosphere, and food/drinks, all of which make it much more diverse and enjoyable to spend lots of time at the park. Walibi (both of them) feel lack luster with both detail and cohesion, some sections of the park could be gorgeous but are unfortunately pretty meh. The lack of any good food or drink options is also a big problem, as usually by the afternoon I rather head back into Leuven for good food/drinks. It is very convenient being just a 20 minute train ride away, but I think I'd rarely go if it was that much further away. If I want to spend a full day at a park, I'd rather drive 1.5 hours to Efteling/Toverland, or 2 hours to Phantasialand. Halloween is a pretty fun time at the park though, and you can get actual night rides. Of course Christmas time at Phantasialand is like the greatest thing ever 😃

[@Walk_On_Thrills]

looks like such a fun park would love to go

[@anderji]

Loved this park. My mind was slightly blown when people were speaking French at the entrance. I had to do some googling to figure out why! I also agree that Kondaa is the best ride in Belgium.

[@brentywenty]

​@@vincent4258probably a goofy mistake you made by accident, but the german part is in the east of the belgium, not the west lol. Otherwise yessss. Also, Brussels is supposedly dutch and french, but honestly it's mainly french.

Just FYI, at least from the footage you showed, that "Arabian" themed area is themed to the Indian Subcontinent. Arabian themed would be more camels and tents and less elephants and pointed arches.

@@CoasterStudios At the moment it still rains regularly in the summer. (but climate change is gradually being felt) An outdoor water park is therefore not an obvious choice in Belgium. Most waterparks in Belgium are indoor. An additional advantage is that an indoor water park can also remain open in winter.

Psyke underground changed its launch due to an incident in the past when it was called the Sirocco where it was stuck upside down in the loop, which was a pretty famous incident when you look it up on youtube and so they rebranded it.

It operated pretty long with the flywheel as 'Turbine' though. The LIM was added due to the huge amount of downtime. They used the opportunity to add the tubes on the end, mainly to please the neighbours.
