As promised.. here's the next update..
Duinrell ( a small park in NL) finally got a new coaster and since i had nothing else to do.. i might as well go there and check it out.
That's what i did yesterday (does this still make sense?)
The name of the new ride is Falcon and yes.. it's another Gerstlauer.
It's a great (and big) addition to this park and another interesting ride. It had been raining hard the night before and i knew rain was coming to the park within 2 hours (after my arrival) so i rushed a little.
I'll shut up for now and present you some more pictures of this park and the new ride. Hope you like them.

| Yet again, interesting....... A few good things, a disturbing thing, but it looks like a good park overall. Where is that park again?

| Looks like a good park with a nice Eurofighter...I was REALLY digging the trains on that one. And man, that kid's coaster had the longest train I've ever heard of. Did you get a chance to count the cars?

| That is a great looking park with a lot of greenery. Hope you rode the bumper boats and got your "Bootie" credit for the day. Still haven't been able to ride a Gerstlauer yet, hopefully soon. Thanks for the pictures!

You haven't done a Gerstlauer yet? Wow your missing out. Mystery Mine is like a amped up wild mouse but it's so much fun it's not even funny. I did a 6 run ride when I went and then 2 other times with my dad...AWESOME airtime on the two vertical and beyond vertical drops and on the double inline finale you have massive airtime too!!! That ride is sick...I'd suggest heading to the closest Eurofighter around and hop on 'cause they're amazing

I love this park its a really nice one and found it randomly when i went round Europe  . Stayed at the campsite which was really well worth doing as you get to go into the park. Its a shame the toboggan run was closed. Thanks for the pics hanno its changed a lot since i've been

Nice update. It was great seeing pictures from the park. buI was there when I was about 12 years, but I don't remember much about it. But when seeing the picture I remember the playground, especially that wheel. That was a lot of fun back then. Didn't really go on that many rides.
I didn't have the nerve to go on the most scary water slides back then  I'm glad they finally got another coaster and I'm looking forward to going back some day!
