Photo TR: Walibi Holland (Lost Gravity)


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

 

On 25 March 2016, I went to Walibi Holland to check out their new coaster for 2016; Lost Gravity. But that's not the only reason why I visited this park *Cough Goliath Cough*

Walibi Holland is a great park that focuses a lot on teenagers. It is not really a Theme Park, although some of their rides are really well themed. But enough talking, let's check it out!

 

EDIT: I'm sorry, but there was something wrong with the pics. I hope everything is okay now.

Welcome to Six Flags Holland! Woops, I mean Walibi World. No no, Walibi Holland...

The park looks nice, unfortunately the weather wasn't that great.. It was drizzling all day.

First ride of the day; Xpress: Platform 13

DSC_0370.thumb.JPG.4c67dc7fb12d08db9181a562cecd2b30.JPG

It's a Vekoma Launch Coaster. It has nearly the same layout as the "Rock 'n' Roller Coaster" models at the Disney Parks.

Pretty hard to take some good photos of this coaster.

DSC_0386.thumb.JPG.a0fc83e0067edf4ce4f900a9ebaa708a.JPG

The ride was fun, but I still prefer the Disney model.

The gardens tour, if you need a tour through the gardens..

The Mainstreet, with the giant Ferris wheel.

It is bigger than I thought (That's what she said)

DSC_0387.thumb.JPG.8b56f32d478a0f0e55105b641efabc9a.JPG

They have a Rapid River!

DSC_0371.thumb.JPG.5408552fcf183264ee198c533eb60d71.JPG

I didn't make this photo for the boats..

A mexican flat ride thingy..

El Condor!

DSC_0393.thumb.JPG.d4aaac5c232cd87096ee515a50729000.JPG

It was the prototype of the SLC's. Do I have to say more?

DSC_0396.thumb.JPG.67581b440425702caab847d8e31bf5e4.JPG

At least it looks good with the fresh paint. I like!

DSC_0409.thumb.JPG.6f506a9f5c052705fcebc096b431f834.JPG

It is definitely not the smoothest SLC out there..

DSC_0429.thumb.JPG.c377e6e41e6b054e3840e1ea2ba46eb3.JPG

I was happy when I made it to this point of the ride, because then I knew I survived..

DSC_0431.thumb.JPG.bc2e713fe66dcce5d912f1b181034825.JPG

Some bumper cars.

Space Shot! A fun S&S Power Tower, with some good airtime at the top.

Launching!

The moment when your heart starts beating faster..

GOLIATH!

Climbing Goliath's lift hill.

For those cable lift enthusiasts out there.

DSC_0443.thumb.JPG.aa53593c7ff3fb513ff89fcf0dd9f419.JPG

Intamin knows how to make good coasters. Fast, great airtime and an amazing layout.

DSC_0451.thumb.JPG.5699f1078db5a8fa61035b11bc726f0e.JPG

Empty station.

Aaaaaand into the brakes.

DSC_0468.thumb.JPG.13c1f5ac34da12218651fcc7b9d53f8e.JPG

I absolutely *LOVE* this coaster!

DSC_0453.thumb.JPG.d9839f37de432b62e01c10507e794289.JPG

Still the best coaster in this park, by far.

DSC_0469.thumb.JPG.a1abacf2038147cd03a428db4ae6a477.JPG

Rain doesn't stop Goliath!

DSC_0476.thumb.JPG.5dd2f8a66ee3f5edff8e504443199495.JPG

HAIRTIME!

Robin Hood, the wooden coaster of the park.

DSC_0481.thumb.JPG.0bcbeeced9a73f7f2037668daf82af1e.JPG

It is a Vekoma woodie. Only 3 of those woodies were built.

DSC_0487.thumb.JPG.19416f3f12aedffedeacc7ce9fef9ba1.JPG

First drop.

DSC_0489.thumb.JPG.67138bb026bb94c2ce2a888a4702deb7.JPG

It is a bumpy ride.

DSC_0496.thumb.JPG.03a4d678247e7630be082d3b2c65a2f2.JPG

Vekoma + wood = not that smooth..

DSC_0498.thumb.JPG.b2144cc38a0332f0cd23faeb06eea8fb.JPG

Bit of airtime here and there.

DSC_0501.thumb.JPG.eb394b3df6bd40acca7aae87a072049d.JPG

The ride was fun and that's what it's all about, right?

DSC_0505.thumb.JPG.c4dc39c0b2c41acaae0179184d254b27.JPG

Excalibur; another Huss Topspin

DSC_0508.thumb.JPG.e5c898d4d331a31729da3e2a6927b462.JPG

The park is beautiful.

DSC_0556.thumb.JPG.47039fcf6af0269b1b4b7bdda71fb196.JPG

They also have a log flume, called Crazy River.

Station of the ride.

DSC_0593.thumb.JPG.bc0e3283135655a9e50ca56c108ccbbc.JPG

The double drop is a lot of fun!

Next coaster: Drako.

DSC_0746.thumb.JPG.37ea9ee00f19a1e65bc42a5263ad24cf.JPG

It's a Zierer Tivoli. What more do I have to say?

Tomahawk.

Walibi Play Land, the kids area.

Some great theming.

DSC_0766.thumb.JPG.100b82626706ef2bc7c45dff70aa9126.JPG

No water today, the clouds were giving us plenty of it.

Splash Battle.

Next up, Speed of Sound.

DSC_0773.thumb.JPG.27e6ed5e4a7d6bcafa6d8dceef1078a4.JPG

One of the best looking Vekoma Boomerangs out there, in my opinion.

DSC_0774.thumb.JPG.25b1d7ecfe574a14aa61f2356cc62488.JPG

It has a tunnel, and it is random.

DSC_0778.thumb.JPG.11dec17d9f3236b90475142a3f57dbd6.JPG

Cobraroll, gotta love it.

DSC_0788.thumb.JPG.c1a1c3d296a341b322e71fbc4b7b7386.JPG

It has those new trains with a vest restraint.

DSC_0797.thumb.JPG.158fbca6eed8930994e968a983e994a4.JPG

Underneath the loop.

DSC_0791.thumb.JPG.9e29b0403a289bfbbea873edf9aa2227.JPG

I actually really liked it! It's one of the better ones.

DSC_0811.thumb.JPG.ef9ebc7556c7a115d02d8048a1a04126.JPG

Loop the loop.

DSC_0511.thumb.JPG.47ee7a4d43ea7c1a7748c7e3db825bdb.JPG

And now, the newest coaster of the park.

DSC_0674.thumb.JPG.7a434e7efe476dbb81e72917cc360adb.JPG

With its funky colors and weird theming..

DSC_0684.thumb.JPG.2f820883057a9fe7972ce4df1445d8c0.JPG

Lost Gravity!

DSC_0512.thumb.JPG.816d779f5295c928c5e06abfaf9afd51.JPG

I was expecting more from this turn, but it was just nice and slow.

DSC_0529.thumb.JPG.02f3385f26d017e228b0de168c7333e9.JPG

The first half of the ride has some great airtime!

DSC_0540.thumb.JPG.ab8dc2c7e35e7c5738df16e3f3d50365.JPG

Mack Rides is really showing what they are capable of.

DSC_0564.thumb.JPG.32b98df40a79e2f69065e17a295735a0.JPG

I like those new trains.

DSC_0578.thumb.JPG.53aea150bc3335f072a10a2a937fcae1.JPG

The outer seats are defintely the best ones.

DSC_0769.thumb.JPG.6e0e34461b8672f353fe7157a67be7c1.JPG

The first drop is really disorientating, and that's a good thing!!

DSC_0530.thumb.JPG.973c1051e2e924ee15e4cdf497c96e86.JPG

Lost Gravity through the trees.

DSC_0600.thumb.JPG.0ef706eef8d425af7cb004ede4129279.JPG

The first half is about speed. While the second half is a lot 'calmer'.

DSC_0613.thumb.JPG.33345be76bf913711a493f17f6d72461.JPG

Some strange theming..

DSC_0616.thumb.JPG.597809e10878f8d82b24c619fb51af9a.JPG

Trees upside down, why not?

DSC_0618.thumb.JPG.19313c98b78cefe89b5c5b4f617f6d20.JPG

The part after the MCBR focuses a lot more on inversions and the hangtime.

DSC_0630.thumb.JPG.ef9ec045679ce83c6d88d96cb5cc2558.JPG

Some cool effects while you are passing the Zero-G Roll.

DSC_0606.thumb.JPG.5468fc286396971e1de6eee76f0766c4.JPG

It looks very good! Love it.

DSC_0637.thumb.JPG.b253b78b477786749ac2e800500c6cc6.JPG

Some great airtime is all we need.

DSC_0641.thumb.JPG.3b3ab1a839d04e86d71e13278231cf96.JPG

The ride is smooth, not quite like a B&M, but it's getting close.

DSC_0643.thumb.JPG.c2a97c83f219443d639cb57166c2a6ae.JPG

Hmm..

DSC_0647.thumb.JPG.32bd4b1787ed31cfd72462b416f5267b.JPG

Running out of captions.

DSC_0685.thumb.JPG.86dc679129ac52c3ae6c823b2842ba73.JPG

I love the trains!

Coming out of the Dive drop.

DSC_0703.thumb.JPG.7d9e0abb76bead2b790d4fa5e7af91d3.JPG

Really, the outer seats are the best!

DSC_0705.thumb.JPG.62255c65a3566541d191e4bed5cff8a4.JPG

Some great hangtime!

DSC_0710.thumb.JPG.e9a4da7b7d777245f5d46a431238a08c.JPG

You can get really close to the ride.

DSC_0715.thumb.JPG.babca75b1850dd8b6e59691602f0ece9.JPG

Coming out of the Zero-G Roll.

DSC_0721.thumb.JPG.cdeecd5947249ea3f7a88fa989382a5d.JPG

This strange element felt uhm.. Weird, I guess? But it was fun!

DSC_0731.thumb.JPG.e3c888ebc6ded5f42683b7a8e5b76b2a.JPG

Random people having a good time!

DSC_0733.thumb.JPG.31bb6274373a76ebfe74ecf3ed403b95.JPG

Great ride!

DSC_0736.thumb.JPG.c690d250756e9c10fed3359208dd09dc.JPG

Yes, you can use containers to theme a coaster!

DSC_0743.thumb.JPG.344dc3a03f7d3200fa5fdb8926d799dc.JPG

What a beauty!

DSC_0749.thumb.JPG.83284ddbbbec1c8d1c46b990e564189a.JPG

A closer look at this weird element thingy..

DSC_0758.thumb.JPG.6bb567e018385e789702ba06cf544169.JPG

Best seat? The outer left one in the back.

DSC_0753.thumb.JPG.ce963d34fbb49e8a6a0ba461ab63db67.JPG

It is a lot of fun!

DSC_0669.thumb.JPG.fd6696488d02873b9dad0b451bb96b91.JPG

Mack & Walibi did a pretty awesome job! Well done!

Nice photos! I can't believe people are actually riding the rapids ride in March in Holland. They truly are insane, haha.

I was there the same day and rode the log flume, it was great a boat all to myself and no queue.

Great Photo's I love the joke about the park's name they really can't choose.

^Same goes for the general theming of the park. With Platform 13 and Lost Gravity they are going for pretty much random theming compared to old stuff like Robin Hood that's still around from earlier..

 

Thanks for the cool report! The new coaster actually looks better in these pics than the ones I saw before, I'm definitely gonna check it out myself in the next few months. I wonder how the GP is gonna respond to it and where it's gonna rank in terms of popularity.

Nice report! Lost gravity looks like a fun funky ride and given the other coasters they have I'm starting to feel the need to visit the park.

 

You won't be disappointed! It is a great park with some very good coasters.

Thanks! Haha, exactly! Most people still call it Six Flags.

Thanks! And yes, it is totally worth it! It is a good coaster; a crazy first drop and some good airtime. It is not as good as Goliath though, but it is pretty hard to beat that anyway.

 

I wonder how the GP is gonna respond to it and where it's gonna rank in terms of popularity.

 

On the day I went, I heard nothing but positive comments from the GP. I think it's going to be a very popular ride!

Thanks for the report!

 

The trains really do look weird on Lost Gravity with people in them! Almost look wrong! Excited to visit this summer (and not ride the SLC!)

 

 

Glad I wasn't the only one that thought, they just look wrong!

I think the trains look cool, and the seats are super comfy.

 

Nice TR btw, was (mostly) there On the 24th, only was able to ride Lost Gravity once on the 25th. As I had to leave till 11AM.

Don't complain about the weather, the day before was pretty horrible and Goliath was really underwhelming, barely had any good airtime ...might be due to all that water and coldness or so. But RobinHood was surprisingly good that day.

Never paid much attention to this park until now. Looks like they have a great collection of flat rides and coasters and seem to be running all of them even on a rainy day, really nice. On my bucket list to visit from now on for sure.

Thank you for the trip report! I really like the layout and oddly I think the random upside down trees and sideways street are really cool. America needs more rides like this.

America also was the country that outlawed Tagadas, so I'm not having as high hopes. Great TR, and seriously, Lost Gravity is an impressive-looking coaster!

Yes indeed. The seats and the restraints are very comfy. I think the trains are looking good. They are weird, but they look good.

 

Excited to visit this summer (and not ride the SLC!)

 

It was the first ever SLC, don't you want to experience a bit of roller coaster history?

Oh I've already ridden this one and I don't need to repeat history!
