Photo TR Efteling and Plopsa Indoor


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I got the opportunity to visit my brother on his holiday and we went to De Efteling last thursday.

 

Even though the weather wasn't that good it still was a bit crowdy. There were a lot of school trips.

 

But then again the lines at De vliegende hollander and Python were just 25 minutes.

 

Plopsa Indoor posted on page 2.

 

On to the pics.

Have I mentioned that this park is landscaped very well.

Now some overview pics taken from the Flying Island.

Pegasus.

You get some nice airtime here.

IMG_0001_69.thumb.jpg.52fa3dfddc29707e34fd9bff6699464d.jpg

It goes up really fast but when it reaches the top it almost comes to complete stop.

IMG_0001_60.thumb.jpg.bd977ef8097215c4e3207ee9e5a64571.jpg

When you want to get rid of your gum just go ride Pegasus and put it on one of those trees.

I love this ride since the day it opened.

In De Efteling you see many of these statues.

Those trains are man powered.

IMG_0001_16.jpg.fd6ea0268df324c9ef6164cb40d893ca.jpg

They have some real kiddy rides too.

See the place was packed with school children.

The main entrance building is huge.

How did you like those new Vekoma trains on Python? They look like they have you sit a lot higher which seems like it would make the lack of heartlining on Arrow/Vekoma coasters more apparent.

I actually think that the trains are a bit closer to the track.

But I didn't feel any difference on the transition to the corkscrew. I think those are always the most painfull parts of an Arrow/Vekoma.

 

Due to the fact that I am a bit tall those new trains are horrible.

I liked this De Efteling TR for several reasons:

 

The impressive entrance (VERY unique with a hint of Giger)

The different style seats on Python? (Resembling Corona mid-century modern chairs.)

Bobbaan

AND (total suprise here) the rapids.

 

Also love the detail on the carousel house and elsewhere in the park.

Thanks for posting these.

Thanks for the pictures of my new favorite park. The place is really pretty and I've never seen any pictures that do it justice. For example, the queue for Flying Dutchman is at least as nice as the queue to Dueling Dragons, but it's really dark in there and thus hard to take decent pictures.

Now this is an excellent example how a park is supposed to look. Why is it here in America we don't have a lot of parks like this? Busch Gardens is one and of course the Disney and Universal parks are also but as a whole, those types are rare. I love the rides at Six Flags but there is no theme at all. Europe has the best parks around.

Yeah I agree that europe has the best themed parks but I wish we had some more "big" coasters in europe.

i know we can have it both. Universal is supposed to be getting a big coaster next year in Florida. I have never visited any of those types of parks here because of the lack of big coasters, but if they did start getting them, they would get all of my money. I mean all. Just think Disney or Universal blended with Six Flags. I would love to see a Nitro or an El Toro at Universal. I know Universal could TRULY theme X. X is such a one of a kind coaster that it is no excuse for it NOT to be heavily themed.

Part II - Plopsa Indoor Hasselt (Belgium)

 

After De Efteling I moved on to Belgium were my sister and her family stayed to celebrate their holiday. We visited Plopsa Indoor on saturday.

 

This is the small version of Toverland I guess.

 

Ok here we go....

And of course there was a car crash.

Hey where did TPR go?

IMG_0001_17.jpg.26b26e3e413d4aefdba51f98c0c91b69.jpg

There were only 10 cars and there was no ride operator so it was hard to get a car cause nobody was getting out. They kept on driving for hours.

Nice trip report, Hans! It's automatically nice when it's a report from Efteling

 

I've never been to Plopsa Indoor before but it looks good. Maybe something to do during this summer vacation! The weather is perfect for indoor parks right now...

 

Nice slide POV!
