Walibi Belgium also has 4: Werewolf, Calamity Mine Train, Cobra and Vampire. but they used to have 5 !!! before the remoival of Tornado (Corkscrew). At least they had Turbine to compensate. Hopefully the renovation project is still "on track" (2013 is the alledged date but what if it collapses before then ? lol)

I really thought the red & blue color scheme looked really good on Xpress.

I think I like the new color scheme. A bit subdued, but somehow sexy.

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I'd really like to get out and ride Xpress. I know about the Disney ones, but I like seeing compact launchers outdoors. I love the look of the twisted layouts, and on Premiers I've found the headchoppers are that much more intense when you can see them clearly.

Well, the colors faded because the park failed to maintain it. It should've been red & blue through proper maintenance.
