Theme Park Discussion / Europe 2016 coasters

Oh come on it looks like absolute garbage. Everything that Walibi touched in that park has turned into weirdly coloured, ugly, utter shit. 

Edit: It could be a cool ride experience wise, but I don't like parks where it looks like you just walked into an illegal rave party for aggresive 15 year olds.

Goliath is awesome though

Wasn't very excited anymore and now surely lost all interest. Worlds first or unique my ass.

Whenever the hype doesnt deliver. 

You'd have to be an idiot fanboy or ignorant about the park to have been hyped anyway. Admittedly this thing is more than I expected, it's surrounded by so much cringey shit that it only turns me away from the park further. Walibi has become a steaming pile of shit. edit: orange and purple shit, I'd like to add.

You guys really have to go to more theme parks.

Why?

Because your hate for Walibi is just stupid. I would still say, that Walibi is among the top 10 parks I've visited, and better than some big names.

I've visited between 15 and 20 parks and Walibi doesn't make my top 10. How would visiting more parks fix that?

Walibi isn't that bad but also not in my top 10, far from it. 

Like Fred said, Walibi Holland isn't that bad, but the overall preadolescent atmosphere kills it, in my opinion, and this new coaster leads by example. It's a disgrace to the original Six Flags park. 

You guys are mad. Walibi Holland is a great park. The hate that it gets in this board is completely insane. You make it sound like it was Holiday Park or something.

By being better? I haven't visited in a while, but the theming Belgium has is FAR better than anything Six Flags has ever done.

Can't speak for Belgium but it's irrelevant anyway since we were talking about Holland. I don't see how you can think it is better than the SF-era theming, because most theming over here is a remnant from that era, only now painted in orange or purple. Californian architecture in purple. Mexican architecture in orange. A bright blue ferris wheel in France. It's a messy blend of the clear SF-era (mostly country) themes, the failed music concept, and just random shit that doesn't fit any of the two approaches I just mentioned. The Canadian area was pretty much untouched since SF left, but now they're removing a flat ride because thematically it clashes with the coaster they just built, which is themed to literally containers. Just... What?

The original Six Flags park, lol, it started as a Walibi park

 

I kinda like the new style Walibi introduced. At least they care about the way their parks look. Take a look at Bobbejaanland, you don't want a park get like that... 

Just saw that Walibi Holland costs more or less the same as 4 years ago when I first visited.

Wait, so how did they pay for all the orange and purple paint? 

Lost Gravity - Great ride in a great park.

Hideous.

Will this ride operate under low temperatures (iow 3/5 of the year)?

It can I think. Wetness depends strongly on the place you've chosen to sit on I've heard. Front: soaked. Middle: just a few drops. Back: medium log flume wet. I'll tell you when I done him in a few weeks. 

Hideous.

 

 

How so?  This looks like a really fresh idea for a medium-small park, the rotating loading platform is crazy, the theme doesn't seem terrible for being fairly minimal.
