Walibi Holland Discussion Thread

[d_gil72I Love Donkeys!]

Thanks guys!
Just booked the last room at "Hotel de kroon" just outside Efteling.

So,any tips for a nice place to stay near walibi?
Do you know of any discounts for entry tickets?

looking fwd for "reride Goliath without getting off!"
although i would be surprised to see that happen on a sat in late june no?

Oh , and should we skip robin hood due to it's roughness situation i have read about?
what do you guys think?

The friday Efteling and saturday Walibi is the best their is. besides the busy saturdays at the Efteling witch you avoid. You don't get the a-holls youth an a friday's at walibi witch you avoid then too! It's a win-win situation!

Well, a nice place to stay at near Walibi? Well, it's in the middle of nowwhere... What are your plans after Walibi going back towards Amstedam? Or some place else?

About Robin Hood, it has been becoming rougher trough out the past year. But still a great ride, so you don't want to miss out on that one...

I was really looking forward to ride Robin Hood and it turned out to be on pair with a RCCA in terms of roughness. It had the potential to be a solid airtime-filled coaster but it was killed by the tracking...

Hi werner,

glad to see i'm on the right track avoiding those a-holls

After Walibi i basicly going to spend a few days in amsterdam,
so, i just guess staying the night ,after visiting the parkm in a location in the park's area would be cheaper than spending the night in the city.

Although checking a bit on the net , i get the feeling the area is quit full of "posh" not so cheap hotels,so mybe a good place somewhere between the city and the park?

I would say try something around Harderwijk, Zwolle or Amersfoort. Or when you would like to go somewhere closer to Amsterdam, try Almere...

[d_gil72I Love Donkeys!]

Amersfoort it is!
I got some really good price for an hotle,plus the place looks really nice for a late dinner and strolling around.

thank you all for the tips so far.
i will make an effort to post some trip reports after my visits to the parks.

Looks like El Condor is getting some love during this off season.

from the parks facebook page

Besides the normal maintenance they are (trying) to make the ride smoother with track corrections.

Let's see how this will work out

Good for them, but the ride is still a piece of s***t.

If you ask me they should stop investing in El Condor (The ride needs either the new trains or get out) and squares and but that money in to demolishing Robin Hood and replace it with a decent Woodie. That ride is really terrible.
