Walibi Holland is the best thrill park in the Netherlands and arguably the second best theme park for coasters in Europe. This park is currently owned by Compagnie des Alpes, but it was operated by Six Flags at one point. This park features an incredible top three coasters with Untamed, Goliath, and Lost Gravity plus some bizarre theming. Find out everything you need to know about this park in this review!

the building site behind goliath is where the go karts used to be, now it will be used for the Zamperla family coaster. That is exactly what the park needed, because after drako, you don't really have a stepping stone coater. The raptor will eventually be placed between Goliath and Condor, thankfully connecting them. The park has a bright future ahead of them.

@CanobieCoaster Жыл бұрын

I agree that family coaster is needed.

This is my home park! When it first became "Six Flags" the new coaster lineup was fantastic and sparked my passion for coasters. Walibi Holland was always more famous among teens, compared to other dutch parks like Efteling. The shift in theming recently is to capitalize on that demographic, hence the graffiti and the F-bombs. I'm personally not a big fan and miss the Six-Flagsy charm it used to have, but all-in-all this park remains close to my heart and the recent coaster additions have only made it better. Thanks for the great review!

@CanobieCoaster Жыл бұрын

You're welcome! I'm not surprised they added more theming given how much emphasis that gets in Europe.

This is my home park. I kinda like that Walibi Holland does things differently. The EDM scene (house and techno among others) has always been immensely popular in the Netherlands and this clearly shines through in the chosen soundtracks and general vibe of park. Despite being the original, I do really hope they will remove El Condor one of these years for something better. Perhaps one of those new Vekoma STC’s as the perfect compromise between family and thrill ride

4:43 The raptor will go between Xpress and Goliath, while the family coaster will go on the place where the go karts were located. If rumours serve right this will connect a path between el rio grande and goliath.

The candy apples, lokated right after hall of fame in a stall on the left (across the car ride) are fantastic. I have not found anything like it in the US parks I have been to in the Midwest last summer, where they were just covered with caramel, while the candy apples at walibi holland were more like lollipops with a granny smith inside.

I think the vest restrained even made things worse. With old one if you just tensed up and rode extremly defensive it was bareble. with vest restraines you will be tossed around like a raggdole. Something you should experience (and once is enough).

Been to 4 of the Compagnie des Alpes parks and each of them are fantastic here's how I rank them 1. Walibi Holland - Love this park especially with its strong top 3 especially Untamed 2. Parc Asterix - Will be better once Toutatis opens but has a strong 1 2 punch for now and Tonnerre 2 Zeus is insane one of the best wooden coasters 3. Walibi Belgium - Has a really good look to it and Kondaa fits in perfectly, Pulsar and Psyke Underground is also fun, the one negative is the operations but besides that its a good park. 4. Bellewaerde - Beatiful Park with a unique Flat Ride Lineup, the best water rides in the chain with even a new Rapids coming, and the coaster lineup whilst not the best is pure fun I think each of there parks are fantastic and I believe they are the best company

There is a fast lane ticket for €12,50, where you can reserve a ride, but you still have to wait the time the line is taking. So if the line is 45 minutes you have to wait 45 minutes before you can enter the fast lane, but in that meantime you can of course do all kinds of other things. It's an amazing value for €12,50.

Most Dutch theme park fans loathe it, but I'm kind of digging how eccentric and counterintuitive Walibi Flevohollandsixflagsworld is becoming. Under Six Flags, it just had generic theme park themes. Here's cowboy land, here's medieval knight land, here's aztec land, here's New York. Yawn! Seen it a million times. Now it's become this postmodern mishmash of meta-themes, grown out of decades of changing ownership and differing opinions on what the park should be (apart from Not The Efteling). It's still not quite my favourite park but they seem to be growing into their own. Adding some fine new coasters has helped a lot! A new family coaster will be very welcome here.

At least Alton Towers, Phantasialand, Energylandia seem to be better than Walibi Holland concerning coasters to me. Untamed is insane, but the others aren't anything special. Goliath is good, Lost Gravity is fun, albeit short and the rest is forgettable. As a whole I'd prefer Europapark and PortAventura as well (if Red Force counts). I could see me prefering Lieseberg and Heidepark too, but I haven't been there yet. So I think even saying "arguably the second best theme park for coasters in Europe" isn't justified at all. With the raptor they might rival the top 2 of Energylandia though.

@CanobieCoaster Жыл бұрын

That's a fair point about those other parks. Those are great in the coaster department too.
