Another odd Walibi Belgium stunt!

[KristofWB]

Last year, Walibi Belgium has launched their 'BIG7' action, by placing their rides in the spotlight. But the best thing about the BIG7 were the stunts the park had. Remember the blood-draft action for Vampire? The Red Head Day? Floating down a famous Belgian river in a Radja River boat? Kayak-contest on Radja River?

This year, Walibi launches another version of the BIG7 with the same rides but new and crazy stunts. This month, April 24th, Walibi launches the 'Walibi goes Backwards' day, to promote the FlashBack flume-ride! The backwards is because of the first drop of the ride, which goes backwards.

First of all, everyone who subscribes on the Walibi website, will pay 13 EUR of entrance instead of 31 EUR. And what is next to come?

* Park staff will wear their costumes backwards.
* Staff from the park, mascots and management will walk backwards the whole day.
* Queues at ticketboxes will run backwards.
* Will the rides at the park run backwards?
* How would the hamburgers in the park look backwards?

The "Rewind Day", as Walibi titles this special stunt, will be held on April 24th. All of the reports from this "Rewind Day" will be posted on YouTube by Walibi Belgium!

More stunts are to come this season!

Remember the blood-draft action for Vampire?

No.

The Red Head Day?

No.

Floating down a famous Belgian river in a Radja River boat?

Racking my brains....

No

Kayak-contest on Radja River?

Ah yeah...hold on a minute....

No, sorry it's gone.

Anyway, it sounds better than the crap Merlin usually come up with, especially the reversed price thing.

I do remember the redhead thing from Screamscape.

I like it. It's inexpensive for the most part, but clever.

Two weeks ago, the day arrived: Rewind Day in Walibi Belgium. The event was a big succes and a videoreport from that day can be seen below.

Now Walibi Belgium would like to start a YouTube hype, such as the FlashMob, and ask people to post up a 'Rewind Video' on YouTube, with them doing stuff backwards, such as going to work, walking the dog, doing their groceries,...

I'm curious how this is going to end.

Coming up next: Red Hair Day: Part II!
