    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Some slides for Aqualibi? Good to see Aqualibi is getting the expansion they needed. It's an amazing waterpark (and the cleanest I have ever seen), but the slides were kind of blah. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp0MU0VLns9/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

    'Good' parks that you just don't vibe with

    Plopsaland De Panne is this kind of park that doesn't do it for me. It has two great coasters, but that is about it. Operations are terrible and the staff is grumpy. Besides these two great coasters there is nothing else but copy paste rides from their other parks. And the overall music in the...

    Walibi Weekend

    Thanks for this report. Always nice to hear such great reviews from Walibi Belgium. About Walibi Holland...I always thought it was one of the most overrated parks in Europe. Yes, it has Untamed and it has Goliath. But all that is left after those two rides is a bland, boring and ugly park...
