LOL.
Only 1 big difference : Vertigo has been open already for the bigger part of last season and a month or so this season. The 'good' side is that Walibi can announce their new ride next year for the 4th year in a row. Talk about saving money on investments ;)

I had the chance to ride it last summer and made a TR of it : Vertigo TR

BTW, I love the Europe trip updates.

It isn't difficult mistaking it with some telephone pole.

I hate that thing, lol.

Nice updates Robb, looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks so much Robb for keeping us updated! I have never been on a Vekoma woodie, but glad to hear it wasn't bad. There is hope for Vekoma! Ok, maybe not. Oh, and Turbine looks fun. I always remember finding that ride interesting with the building since RCT2 when it was in there. Oh, and congrats KidTums on learning how to spell! She is a very neat Lego speller. :P

Day Two, Part Two - Adventure Parc Ropes Course

Lots of photos by Hanno Roos

While we were planning this trip Elissa thought it would be a good idea to get a bunch of TPR members together to do some "extreme" activity and the choice was to do this Ropes Course Parc in Belgium.

TPR members are going to be swinging through the trees, riding on ziplines, and basically having a near death experience. It's going to be awesome!

This looks like a lot of fun! I love ziplines and ropes courses. I think I know why Elissa wanted to do this: She is secretly training to be a contestant on I Survived a Japanese Game Show! :lolr:

Awesome pictures and it is so great to see some of the people we met here in OH last year (Hi Hanno!! Hi Terrance!! Hi Elissa's folks!!). Samantha (who has this obsession with France) was totally pissed to see the picture of Kristin at the Eiffel Tower. Love the Alvey family photo too!

Looking forward to more-
Shari and Sam

I have some great memories of almost dying on Toverland's rope course so I'm sure this would have been amazing to witness and/ or experience lol.
