Hi there, on behalf of Pretparken.be I went to the opening yesterday of Dawson Duel at Bellewaerde Park. It is a fun and quite unique ride, just a relaxing double alpine coaster ride through the woods from a height of 25m at maximum speeds of around 42km/h. It is just a nice and gentle ride without much g's, just lots of fun. The particular thing about this alpine coaster type ride is that it does not feature breaks on the cars, so they break automatically at the end of the course. Also, it is the only alpine coaster in the world that is entirely built on 'supports' (artificial hill) instead of a natural slope. Here you can find some pictures and a report about the opening day (sorry guys, text is in dutch!): Pics and report here! We also made a nicer onride video than the park one, check it out!

Hey Robb, great trip reports! Are you also heading to Phantasialand this evening for the opening of Taron and Raik? I know it's a 4 hour drive but it'd be totally cool to meet you there
