Skipping the Vekoma trio at the front was a wise move, none of those are worth your time, but Turbine? Dude, you missed out there, it's fab! Such a solid park, you did really well to get all those rides in 4.5 hrs. Excellent work!

Oh that's great news. We were there 11th and 12th. Yay for the whale! Now, about that dragon over at Joris...

Thanks! We're in north Shropshire so it was a cheap Ryanair flight from Manchester to Eindhoven then got an Uber from the airport to the park, which cost about €50 each way. Renting a car was surprisingly expensive and using public transport looked a bit too long winded and faffy, so we just...

^This is the guy, ladies and gentlemen, who ditched a day at Efteling in favour of, excuse me... Drievliet? 😵 He is clearly not to be trusted.

But... haven't you just been there with the goons, Dave? Yes, yes I have, but here's the thing: I love this park, so I went back again with the missus. I've loved this park for a long time, it was the very first European park I ever went to, waaaay back in 2002. I've been back another 4 times...

Oh Hellllll yes!

I don't get it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyone?

Well that seems fairly conclusive, then! Thanks for sharing the link @Jerrybubbles . Looks great. ☺️

On the face of it - exciting news, but are we sure that this person wasn't just 'noticing' things for the first time? It's a very overwhelming ride, with multiple seating orientations pointing in multiple different directions, with all those different animatronics popping up in different...

Mecalodon. @JoshC. is wrong. 😝 Mecalodon is a great ride. Six of us rode it a couple of weeks ago, six, and the verdict was unanimous: Walibi Belgium have gotten thereselves a winner here. It's really long, it's really smooth, it has an interesting and varied layout punctuated by three...

 Yoy - Walibi Holand. Grr... so frustrating, I really wanted to like this but sadly, it just doesn't deliver. Let's talk about the good stuff first. Number 1 - it looks fab. The blue and green track combo really pops, it's filled up a big, vacant plot of land on the park and joined up a...

It's fantastic! Me and the goons minced over to Belgium and the Netherlands last weekend and Danse Macabre was undoubtedly one of, if not the highlight of the trip. I absolutely loved it. New favourite ride at Efteling, new favourite dark ride in Europe and possibly the best dark ride outside of...

Well, it's The Clinic, isn't it? It just is. https://youtu.be/9ttMSoL6sfY?si=7st1cqBJyYr_oMHS

Not sure there's any major revelations here, but the FT is reporting that Universal is 'Closng In' on the deal, with an announcement possibly as early as next week? That's a good sign, right? https://www.ft.com/content/5eb3b18c-d961-45b3-bbdf-30db2588676f

Great report, Hutch, some very cool photos too. Absolutely adore Glenwood Caverns, one of my all time favourite parks. I did the OG Haunted Mine Drop and definitely agree - world's best drop tower. Giant Canyon Swing is world's best screaming swing and Canyon Flyer is world's best chair swing...
