Coastin' Thru Europe Episode 15: BELLEWAERDE

Our second and final stop in Belgium was at the theme park/animal park Bellewaerde- a place we originally only planned on spending half the day at, but were totally blown away that we stayed for WAY longer than expected! The rides were so fun, and the animal exhibits were amazing! Afterwards, we drove back to Paris for a preview of Disneyland Paris!

This park looks absolutely beautiful, definitely underrated!

[@nicoleacosta5545]

I live for the opening epic Coaster Studios Europe theme music and the episode titles in the beginning! When I think my day is going to be rough I just watch the first intro for these vlogs and am immediately put at ease. Thank you!

[@nathanlightfoot8747]

I find it quite comical to see food reviews throughout the Europe vlogs when it’s legit one of three things…burgers, chicken tenders/nuggets, or Mac n cheese 😂

[@Rabbitzz]

This was the park I found my enthusiasm for rides I'm from England and we went here on a school trip when we were in France and we went to Belgium for a bit too and I rode the boomerang like 20 times over, loved this park great memory from my early teens.

[@2kgods860]

I have ridden SO MANY coasters and hagrids is still in my top 10 lol I loved that thing so much

[@0z3r0]

Would love to see a top 10 family coaster list

[@Coast5]

That would be great

Great video! Fun looking park with unique rides! Nice coaster in Wakala!

[@HeatherC1212]

You couldn't pay me enough to ride that spinning drop tower thing.....I got dizzy and nauseous just watching the video! This park looks like a fun little family park and I loved all the random animals they have there. Gotta say that I am SUPER excited for your Disneyland Paris video so the little teasers at the end were really fun. Those Lego statues were incredible (that Maleficent one was amazing)! Thanks for all that you guys do....I love this series so much! =)

[@I_am_Addicted_2_RollerCoasters]

i love coasting through europe, it makes me so haapy

[@Baomang_]

bekkewaerde looks absolutly awesome can't wait to visit one day

[@richardgreenjr4701]

You guys seem surprised, but in a good way. Those to me are the best ones. Very underrated park!

[@timheye7863]

The legendary Coaster studio's...did rides all over the world... are impressed and made a review about a ride that I did with my 92 year old grandma who found it... Ok! What kind of a badass grandmother did I had?

[@CoasterStudios]

hahaha love it

[@Ekanas]

Best quote from Matt “eww it did remind me of city walk” 😂😂😂 accurate

[@jgriff22]

I rode the topple tower ride while it was at DollyWood. Definitely an interesting experience to have at least once. Especially the one at DollyWood with the water coming up at your face.

[@jonathanderijk5332]

funny fact if you like history. one off the biggest world war 1 battles was at and near bellewaerde. did you see all the cemetery's all over the place? really fascinating there, because of the contrast with the themepark.

[@felix_ksl]

I had two days in that Region so yes! It was very interesting, I recommend it for anyone going there.

[@SpikePBB]

I'm getting major deja-vu as I could have sworn you'd already been here and I've seen that vlog. 😮

[@miguelvpires]

That future raft ride looks amazing - you need to go back to try it.

[@willsharp9666]

The whole of Disney village is being re-done over the next few years (you can see the start of the scaffolding going up), along with the front end of WDS

[@Coasterghost]

such a fun looking park!

[@GuyT-z7o]

Ketchup and mayonnaise combined is my kryptonite

[@Artbyhurricanyounot]

Damn the mention of racing stripes woke a core memory 🤣

[@Thelightning1out]

You have got one of the rarest flat ride credits, the topple tower, dollywood used to have one but that got replaced by the giant drop tower near mystery mine and thunderhead

[@kristophernekula5151]

Huracán is the Mayan god of of Storms. It is also where we get the word Hurricane from. I love the theme of the Mayan temple with that ride

[@celerystikz]

Can't believe you guys got to meet zaboomafoo!

[@jonathanwheeler3801]

Nice Barcelona Kit!

[@GPXBrent]

Disney Village is actually being tranformed, with most of the work starting next year. It will be much closer to Downtown Disney and Disney Springs after it's done

[@CoasterStudios]

Oh interesting! Did not know that!

[@GPXBrent]

@@CoasterStudios Maybe you saw the construction walls near the big balloon? That used to be a restaurant called Café Mickey, which is now becoming Rosalie (if I recall correctly). There's also gonna be a brand new McDonald's replacing the current one, and the style of the facades will be more like the Starbucks there

[@letsroamaround2189]

This and plopsaland de panne where both my homeparks but I lived closer to bellewaerde, I also used to work there for a weekend and I hated it in contrast to working at plopsaland

[@brianantoniohuman]

"It's Nahtazu!!!" Your older viewers will get that

[@Marty_NZ]

Loved Bellewaerde, but agree that Wiegand alpine coaster is rubbish. It looks like you entered at the back of the park. The main entrance is more in the middle, but I guess it depends where you parked. Visited end of August 2022, just before they removed Keverbaan, the Zierier Tivoli. Started the day in England, via Euro tunnel to Bagatelle, then Dennlys Parc and ended the day with Bellewaerde. Some good Soquets at those other two parks!

[@Surfindudy18]

You should make a video trying out coastle- pretty much the roller coaster version of wordle!

THE MATT WARDA EPISODE

[@CoasterStudios]

WE WENT TO MATT WARDAAAA

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I assume the boomerang here wasn't much different compared to the usual rough ones besides what you mentioned

[@moh8mede]

I live 20 mins away, its amazing

[@liamnieuwland1738]

same

[@DoomPlague]

I love rapids rides and lament what seems like declining interest in them. So I'm perfectly okay with a park getting a second one.

[@ilannghost6306]

bellewaerde has a waterpark sort of attached to it. like aqualibi and walibi and plopsaland de panne and plopsaqua. bellewaerde is half zoo half theme park

[@maxhagenauer24]

That's a 7 car boomerang which is pretty long. I bet it needed the capacity when it first opened though because it was the first of its kind.

[@berrec88]

You guys probably picked the worst place in the park to buy lunch. The Texas Grill right across Huracan has the best burgers and the big restaurant near the kids section has some of the typical Belgian dishes such as Flemish stew.

[@liamnieuwland1738]

ILOVEEEEEE BELLEWAERDE ITS MY HOMEPARK😊

[@DyI7]

Will you ever visit china and ride some of the worlds best like Wood coaster and Coaster through the clouds?

[@CoasterStudios]

one day for sure!

[@puwcyk]

Cudos for disneland for taking care of thoer employees

[@Sauci55on]

Wich coaster do you prefer between Wakala, Pégase Express and Firechaser Express?

[@maxhagenauer24]

I didn't know they had the first boomerang to open. At least it doesn't have the first boomerang trains.

[@jordonfreeman166]

I got the Timber Tower credit at Dollywood.

[@adv.withjerryandadrianna]

Those screams from the boomerang are not screams of fear they are screams of pain

[@barrywilliams7638]

You missed Parc Asterix, 1 hour from disneyland. Brand new coaster Toutatis, 3 launches...

[@Tranyaqulizer]

I think the Boomerang review wasn't too accurate, I found it actually decent. Only rough section was the backwards 1st half of the Cobra roll. I've marathoned it, so, I may be biased

[@coasterchum8289]

Wish Worlds of Fun would have gotten something like Wakala as a spiritual successor to Zambezi Zinger...would have made a lot more sense.

[@SpezyCoasters]

what airbnb where you in at dlp?

[@delibirdempire4792]

My home park! It has so much potential... Sadly the "families first" mentality of the owners means they never consider building a true standout thrill coaster like ride to happiness which really holds this park back... Instead we end up with a one off alpine coaster or a wacky new rapids ride :)

[@drdewott9154]

Thats probably ok, not every park needs something like Ride to Happiness though. But another thrill coaster, even if on a smaller scale could probably suit the lineup. Like maybe a wooden coaster, or perhaps one of those Vekoma Suspended thrill coasters. That could work great at that park!

[@matthewrobertson95]

You'll be pleased Taylor, Thorpe Park have just announced that Angry Birds Land will be retired after tomorrow and replaced with a new land for 2024!

[@CoasterStudios]

Woooo!

[@porcelainthunder2213]
