Loup-Garou Front Row POV Walibi Belgium Vekoma Wooden Roller Coaster

[@jukajo]

We rode it for the first time earlier this year and all said "amazing layout, but way too rough". Rode it again yesterday during the halloween event at 10pm and hoooly sh*t, it was absolutely amazing. The bumps weren't bad at all and the airtime moments were sooo much fun. Excellent and surprising layout that doesn't let up until the very end.

[@quintinrice2733]

That coaster has such a great layout. I'd rather see it get the "Ghostrider" treatment than be RMC'd. The setting is beautiful and now that Holland has an RMC, this park is original if they keep this coaster completely wooden.

[@88tibro]

Agreed. I like the idea of keeping some classic wooden rollercoaster. Especially in Europe where we do not have many. A wooden retrack would be ideal.

[@nitasu987]

I agree, I LOVE this layout!

[@tobiasgunther4661]

Rode it in the dark at last years halloween event after heavy rain. It was so incredible, one of my most memorable rides. Rough, but great! The layout was quite surprising and the airtime insane.

[@mateoalvira7826]

I loved how the airtime this ride got, I like Loup Garou as is.

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

You get some pretty awesome airtime on this ride

[@happysword258]

and some pretty painful positives

[@panthersboy09]

when I saw this video on my home page of KZbin I was like wow because I have been there and ridden the roller coaster the most in the park like 10 times. PS it was so rough on that first turnaround.

[@Adeccco]

Not every wooden coaster should become an RMC. Loup Garou used to be a great roller coaster. There is nothing wrong with the lay out, it simply needs a retrack.

[@azertycraftgaming]

yes. a retrack by rmc

[@Adeccco]

@@azertycraftgaming No, a retrack of the original layout which was fantastic, lots of airtime. If every wooden roller coaster becomes an RMC it will be repetitive as well.

[@stonie13]

@@Adeccco rmc does retracking without changing the Lay-out now if I’m correct ?

[@keithgatzke5390]

@@stonie13 that’s how they started. I think GCI should come in.

[@Zatoka.]

I agree. The layout looks like it'd slap with new trains and some titan track

[@FinnSeesGhosts]

This ride is my guilty pleasure. It's so good in row 11.

[@GPK1075]

this layout actually looks kinda fun

[@TheCoasterCraze]

Got a Halloween night ride toward the back - holy crap this thing is like a shorter, rougher Ghostrider - easily my favorite Vekoma

[@oof3397]

The layout actually looks pretty good, It just needs a retrack and it can be better.

[@loicvercammen6509]

This won't be rmc'd. They'll do a retrack with new manoeuvres like they did with tonnere de Zeus 2. This coaster has the longest line and shows they need to keep this ride family oriented.

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

It had one of the shortest lines when I visited 😬

[@Filipolis]

I'd rather have GCI do the reword than Gravity Group though

[@douglaspitcher3560]

That last hill looks insane

[@maxhagenauer24]

How can an old Vekoma, and it being a wooden coaster, look to be so good? The pacing is non stop and it never ends.

[@lukeprimmer9366]

Retrack>RMC The layout is honestly great, it just needs to be a smoother, more comfortable experience!

[@furiusrider]

Controversial opinion : this is my second favorite coaster in the park I have so much fun riding it, with some decent airtimes and it's not that rough, I would say it's abrut but in a more positive way

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

Couldn't agree more

[@hohlbrot1]

i prefer Pulsar (if you count it as a coaster), but this one would be nr 3 i guess. But the reridability....

[@MERRLINN]

Thanks!

[@anonymous_preferred7737]

RMCing this coaster will give this park an amazing 1-2 punch.

[@jerryallen1768]

RMC coasters are great but not every wooden coaster should be RMC'd. We need classic woods. People want to RMC the Beast at Kings Island, it would be a huge mistake.

[@sdaniel9129]

that's crazy !; everyone wants to get rid of all Woody's an RMC them !! I don't think every coster parks should get rid of them !! I like Woody's

@@CoasterStudios I don’t think this will be converted into RMC (I’ve never ridden this, but a few reviews I read say it’s smooth, a little airtime, and doesn’t track well)

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

This was added during the Six Flags era when Six Flags used to own this park back in the day, and boy, did they add a terrible ride. Probably smoother back then, but nowadays, hell no. Those Vekoma wood coaster trains are also pretty abysmal. This does have a solid layout though~

[@hugodehepcee]

I kinda like these trains ngl. Okay the lapbar is a hell but you're so well seated that you could take a nap if you get stuck in the lift for a while

[@nicholashayes8373]

Nice Video 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@samuelitooooo]

It's not just the layout but the pacing. Wow! With laterals and airtime, RMC doesn't have anything to contribute to this except inversions which this reeeeeeeally doesn't need. Retrack or Titan track.

[@blockin9556]

really cool layout wow

[@millercraycraft1453]

This would be an amazing RMC. They could do something really interesting with the turnarounds.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

And add some new inversions!

[@tractorgt]

Haha yeah. I was literally saying watching this that vekoma certainly is no gci or gravity group.

[@martainevo]

The layout is great, but it's too rough and shakey. Any kind of retrack would be great. GCI, RMC ...

[@stijnjanssens571]

or just ride it in row 2 or 11 to get the best experiences.. RMCing it might not be the best thing sinds it's a verry beloved coaster by many. It's still one of the most popular rides with the GP that commes to walibi.. But i do admit that something has to change, i just hope they rectrack it maybe more of a GCI makeover but an RMC is nothing WB really needs

[@soly-dp-colo6388]

I didn't think a Vekoma coaster could be so smooth.

[@WCfanboy]

Oh it definitely isn’t smooth, but it looks awesome

[@AydenJennerCarroll]

RMCing it would be awesome! But maybe S&S should refurbish it with a compressed air launch hill. 💨

[@rollercoasterheaven2170]

[@KosmosKirmes]

Am I the only one who hates this thing? When I rode it a couple of years back it hurt so much that me and my friend had to lie down on the lawn in fornt of it for almost an hour to get back to life. The layout is not nearly as fun as it looks on videos, and it shakes to a point where the restraints just hurt you. Loup-Garou still hold the position as the number 1 on my "Worst Coasters I've ridden list". And that means a lot as I live nex to Movie Park and its horrible Bandit.

[@WCfanboy]

Don’t ride it in a wheel seat? It’s a great ride if you avoid a wheel seat

[@ItsSiebay]

For a Vekoma wood coaster, this doesn’t look that bad.

[@denniscielaszyk5118]

The one ride i had on this two weeks ago was a nightmare. Easily rougher than every SLC I've ever been on. And also worse than Bandit at Movie Park, which is often considered among the roughest coasters ever built

[@coastaku1954]

I know this is an unpopular opinion but this was the worst coaster I’ve ever ridden. Layout great but so bumpy and uncomfortable, I was in agony. Sure it would be great if retracked.

Une belle merde que je déteste faire... En espérant qu'ils appellent RMC pour enfin en faire quelque chose.

hands down one of the worse in europe next to bandit in MPG
