Coaster reviews

Location Smoothness Layout Intensity

this coaster came before gravity max,opening in 2001 and ofcourse,its a vekoma junior coaster.what i like about it that its so surrounded with threes and the station looks pretty and clean.it is also smooth but the layout and intensity arent that good since the layout is so cloned and it ment for kids,but overall,a farly decent kiddy coaster.

First Drop Intensity Layout

man,this is,by far,one of the best vekoma coasters,and truly,shows the creativity of the company and not only that,this was the start of the vekoma goodies.gravity max was build in 2002,and currently it is the only vekoma tilt coaster,meaning that no one wanted to buy it,its a shame,but honestly,golden horse,the chinese company helped to introduce the tilted track elemant better,creating the broken rail coaster and leading to their best project,battle of jungle king.heres a fun fact that i found on rcdb:"Advertised as a "Tilt Coaster" or "Cliffhanger". The train is pulled up a lift hill to a horizontal platform. The track then tilts until it is vertical, drops down into a tunnel, turns 180 degrees and emerges to enter the vertical loop." now how it works exactly: after the train reaches the end of the horizontal tilt segment, a hook grabs the rear car of the train. This holds the train in place during the tilting. As a safety precaution, a large block of steel at the front of the tilt segment prevents the train from rolling off the end should the hook fail. after the tilt segment is vertical and inline with the vertical drop, the block is pulled away and the hook is released.but enough facts,now to the originall prototype,gravity max.and man,vekoma really did thier best with this.so imagine a dve coaster,but more intense and much longer.yes,that is basically gravity max,and man,these tilted drop adds an extra elemant to the coaster which unlike a dive coaster,the track is seprated,giving much thrill than most coasters.and the drop is super whippy and fun,the rest of the layout includes fast paced turns,a great tunnel,a massive loop which is foorceful and whippy,and an intense helix too.combined with its red color scheme,its a treat.and than i must mention how smooth the ride is,must of vekoma might be rough,but here we got a smooth and well build coaster and yes,its a great coaster which i can highly reccomand riding,its alot better than most of the diving coaser,alot more forceful and overall,only shows the creativity behind vekoma.

Intensity Headbanging Layout

a bad coaster overall,which opened in 1999 and the worst coaster at the park,headnbanger and shitty layout that have been cloned many times.it might be an intense ride,but it was overall,juts bad.

Theming Smoothness Layout Disappointing! Airtimes Dead spots

tiki waka is a mixebag,altough i was pretty disappointed wth it,but its not the worst coaster i have ever ridden.the ride was build in 2018 and its their gerstlauer bobsled,the rde was build on the former side of their coccinelle,their former zeirer tivoli which will be relocated in 2020.i would like to share with you a fun fact that i found on rcdb:"Walibi Belgium's website states the Tiki-Waka's speed is 55 km/h and has a length of 500 m. Walibi Belgium has also stated Tiki-Waka's the length is 564 m while simultaneously stating the height to be 21 m and an hourly capacity of about 600 pp/h."but now for the ride itself,it wasnt that good,i will even call it one of the weeker bobsleds by gerstlauer.but that doesnt mean that the ride is bad,it alot beter than most of the coasters ive ridden,but lets go.the thing that it managed to do greatly is with the theming,giving the ride its own character of a naitive tiki tribe.and it is acompanied by a beautiful scenerio over the water,yes,it such an amazing expreince with the theme.it is also really smooth,giving a good experience with the layout.but the layout,its not that great,which its a shame.outside,it looks like the layout really thoguth creatively,but the problem it with it all of those trims and dead spots,really,it feels so sluggish and moves at snails pace.it such a snoozer and thank god that the theming helped me not to get bored by it.but thats not only that,the ride's airtime moments doenst give air,unlike the older versions,this one was such a snoozer with the airtime momentswhich really,i felt bad.but i belive i have a reason for all of this,i thnk that it ment for families and they tried to make it a family thriller,so i can see that the dead spots is might be for kids to enjoy it more and give them a coaster exprience.but here ar my thoughts,i still was dissapointed tho,but they,kids might enjoy it.

Launch Fun Ejectors

this is a well known prototype.created in 2016,this is right now the only mack powersplash ever created,and actually,mack is planing to open two of those in 2019 and 2021,and yes,im happy for those news,since i belive that those compact little water rides,are the crown jewel to any park who is looking for a new water ride but doesnt have enough place.actually,the ride costed the park 8.5 € million.and i belive that this coaster deserves it since the quality of it is superbe.now lets see whats so good about it.the launch here is honestly one of the best launches of mack,usually,mack launch coasters are filled with some weak launches,more than intaming or gerstlauer,they just dont give the whip that i hope to get on those coasters,but here,you actually get whipped to your seat,which man,its such a good feeling to get it non other than with mack rides themselves.but now,not only that,the ride is also filled with ejector.in the top of the vertical spike,you really get the senstion of almost flying of your seat,and man,its such a good filling to see and get.and the capacity was good too,with the turntable,which first introduced by pinfary,helping the capacity of the ride to get much faster,and you really get soaked on this ride,the splash down is amazing and the you get wet at every place,even wetter than most log flumes out there.so yea,it might be a prototype,but its gone extemely well,and its really that i can reccomand.

Inversions Launch Intensity

this is by far,the best coaster in all of walibi belgium,not only its in the dark but its also a new good,renovated and a great ride.schwarzkopf really knew what they were doing with this one,but the ride also have alot of history behind it.first opened in 1985,this was walibi belgium's first operating roller coaster(it had more coasters before that,but this is the first of those that ar still operating in the park,a.k.a,the oldest operating coaster at the park),and throught its run,many changes had been added to this singal schwarzkopf shuttle loop.in 1999,the loop was enclosed due to noise complains by neighboors near by.the remainder of the ride was enclosed in the 2013 season.the ride had two names,at its opening it was called sirocco,and than was changed in 1999 to 2012 to tubrine,but later on,in 2013,not only that they changed its name to psyke underground,but also got the all ride renovated.by gettting a new lim launch and trains by gerstlauer.few,thats alot of history right there,but now to the ride itself.i must say that this lim launch is such a cool new feature,altough must of my friends are complaining about that that the flywheel launch was better,i found this launch god as well,it gave a great speed,managed to give an intense whip and also gave it greatforces.the greatest thing about it for me is the theme,the ride is all dark and crazy going,you dont even know the massive chaos on the ride since it is too dark.altough it short,those short hours are so intense,theloop even give some powerful g's to my suprise,and all of the ride,combined with its dark theme,for me is the crown jewel than most of the other vekomas,or pulsar,since yea,pulsar is fun,but it never came close for me,to psyke underground.so yes,it is the best coaster here,and im highly reccomanding riding it,and im so happy that in 2021,this intaming mega will probably beat it.

Airtimes First Drop Layout Discomfort

that ride,as i rode it,isnt bad,at all,its not the best wooden coaster in the world,but this vekoma woodie is a pretty cool,and a fun woodie that im reccomanding to ride.loup garou opened at 2001,same year and day as their other vekoma,cobra,opened to the public.however,the desginer of the ride is a defunct ohio company named stand company,which also helped to build intamin woodies such as regina and even dania beach hurricane.funfact,in english,loup garou stands for werewolf,so lets go over my thoughts.altough not the best,this ride have its great moments of airtime,and the good,creative layout it have,really stand to me.hell,tha headchoppers here were good and espcially the turns,they gave some good leterals throught the ride.the first drop is good too.and actually,they will retheme the ride in 2021,which will give it alot more character,yea,i see this as a pretty bland ride with no theme,but if they will tho,thats really improve the ride.than the location is a great thing too,it passes many trees and honestly kinda reminds me of the beast at kings island in these aspect,only much compact.but here is the main issue,its a pretty rough ride with many of the turns really slams you into the cars,which can ger annoying,so what they can do?i belive they can get a gravity group trains,like the one on thundercoaster,it will be much smoother and improve the ride,but honestly,its not bad at all but far from best,and im happily reccomand it to entusiastes at belgium.

Location Smoothness Layout Intensity

this is the newest coaster to come to walibi belgium,and yes,it is their kiddy coaster,and the only kiddy coaster at the park,which i think had to be needed,since for me,a park must have atleast one kiddy coaster in its park and not a thrill or extreme coaster,and thats beacuse of that,a kiddy coaster is appealing to the younger audience,and if you have a little kids,you can get them on fun pilot,but is this a fairly good kiddy coaster?yes,it is,this is a zeirer force 190,a model which started in 2009 and continues to grow in its popularity,and yes,i do think that this is a good kiddy coaster,altough the layout had been cloned and altough its not that intense since again,it appeals to a younger entusiastes which are starting to get into coaster,but firstly,its a smooth ride,it allows to get a great ride with good sits and it slides well with the track,cousing maybe some small rattles.but thats a common thing in those force coasters,another thing is the location,not only is that coaster gives some good views of the lake,it got a good little theming to a company it and its got those cute airplane shaped trains,so yea,its not the best kiddy out there,but its a good smooth ride and great for kids' first coaster.

Theming Headbanging Harness Layout

this ride isnt a good boomerang,dont get me wrong,some boomerangs can be good but i dont really care about them,you pratically saw boomerangs at many parks and you just now what its doing.the ride was build in 2001 and actually was standing and not operatin in the 2011 season,in 2019,they repaint all of the ride and actually gave it some theme,its not a calamity mine level of theming here but its still decent enough to give it a character,which its ofcourse,a cobra,which meaning it is an egyptian theme.and i actually liked the painet,it really matched with the rest of the ride.but there is where the good ends and the bad begins,since its a roguh ride with its repetetive layout.if you ride a boomerang before,you saw the layout already.you are going on a backward lift,then falls,going into a cobra roll,a loop,going into a catch lift hill,and repeat all of the layout backwards,after slowly going down to the station,when i saw it,it honestly seemed to me like a good concept,but than i descovered how much clones this have worldwide.not only that,the ride is such a headbanger,every inversion just slams you to the restarins that its so annoying,they really need to smooth this ride or give it the sunkid trains which will improve it completely.overall,i cant reccomamnd on this one,its boring and rough at the same time,but if they managed to theme the ride,who knows,maybe the hope will be here.

Theming Nice surprise! Comfort Rattle Dead spots

well folks,calamity mine is a pretty good coaster,and i honestly dont understand why so much people hating o this ride,for me,it was good,wasnt the best,but was good enough to ride and really exited expections.well calamity mine is a vekoma mine train which opened in 1992,and yes,this was their first,non disney mine train since i sure it came after big thunder mountain according to rcdb,so yes,i can consider it a prototype,and altough i would say that they had gone to build better mine trains,this one,for a prototype,isnt bad at all,in fact,i will call it good.now why?heres my resons,the thing that the coaster done well is with theme,this ride is a very well themed ride which is theme to,well,a mine.but there is so much detail on it which is almost disney level,its almost as disney i would say but not great,my favorite parts are the tunnels and the nice touch of the waterfall.but how is the ride itself is,combined with the theming,the layout provides a god ride too,now,its not a well paced ride in my opinion since there are a couple of moments when the ride will just slow down,but its a really decent layout for a mine train,it combined some cool turns and hills and the slow paced layout is i think to get a much better view of theming and since it was for kids,yes,mine trains are a thrill kiddy,mining that this could be the first really thrilling coaster for kids.also i loved is how the ride is comfort,it was with a rattle,dont get me wrong,but the trais didnt bothered me that much,they were comfort and fun to sit on,but i will say that it was a retty rattely ride which didnt helped that much,but aside from the problems,overall,calamity mine is a nice mine train,and again,its more for views so take it with a bit of a salt.
