Speelstad Oranje

[megamattIndiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Donkey.]

There was a Flying Cars ride like that at Riverview Park Chicago.

It was there until this lady commit suicide on it by taking off her seat belt at the top.

Very good photo trip report. Looks like an awesome park.

[kamikazewatermelonHoly crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

Woah! it seems like every ride there was built from scratch. it's like an indoor ghetto fair!

[thrillerman1Can you see the donkey in my toast?]

This place looks awesome, and I totally want to go there! Thanks for sharing your trip photos!

I havent been to Speelstad Oranje in a very long time! I only remember the dragon coaster.. Its really weird, but still pretty cool looking! Some really messed up rides... another only-in-holland thing

Aaah , this brings back wonderful memories , thanks for this report !

And although the Tornado wasn't my first coaster , I was still scared craps because it's in the dark , and as as I can remember it , it was waaaay higher ..

And i can also remember some wacky .. erm how could i explain this ..

Just imagine a booster.
Smaller , indoor.
Your only safety thingy is a belt around you waist ( like in the circus ).

And you can turn it , by running in it , as one side is a circle.
( like this thing , but then on the end of an indoor booster .. )

//edit : Found it ! , the picture sucks though .. :




Don't know if anyone gets it , but i remember these "things" being there the last time i was there.
Also a Bowling alley on the third floor ?
And i can't rember the ghost house , or the indian river ..
I'll try to find some pictures of what I mean

Do note that the last time that I've been there was about 10 years ago ..

There has been an accident last month with those "loopschommels". A 10 year old boy fell over the fence and got under the ride and got serious head injuries. So the rides were removed on the begin of april.

Aha , that explains why there aren't there anymore ... Sad for the kid though ..
