Bobbejaanland: 30th March 2008:


The Entrance


A concrete tree at the entrance, it's something new... xD


Wheee, it's typhoon! [:D]


First i'd continued to revolution with a short look on sledgehammer (which ran every 15min if there were about 20 people.)


Yay... Special made entrance for revolution


Yay, revolution is departing ^_^


Close call you'd normally don't see


Yay, the clock on going upwards


Ohhh... chaos starts and time goes backwards [pshades]


Awww... The final brakes again [:(]


On my wait around the park I passed next to the rapid with the ferris wheel that they don't use for 6-7 years now


Even though it was wet outside I took a ride, since there is only one spot where you can get wet, when your unlucky...


I passed next to the clone wild mouse


Later on I walked over to the monorail station where they have a few models of the rides at Bobbejaanland. The park has the first 3-4 weeks circus theme. lol

2 models that are located behind that window




I also shot a few pictures of the new "bananabos". From the last time i've seen it, it's an slight improvement [:)]








Oh yeah, did loads of rides on typhoon, Vertical lift ^_^


W00t! 97* drop


Oh yeah, sledgehammer did run during this ride


Heartline Rolls!


Final roll, damn... I wanna do that inversion after a complete stop on that brake [pshades]


offride shot! [:D]


Guess what happned when the park closed? Yep, rain left and the sun came shining.


one of the final rides from the minetrain


Bye typhoon, see ya in a few months!

I'm probably going to create a short video of my day, it's mostly onrides and a little offride footage [:)]

Nice report Dirk.

That ferris wheel was so awesome, but now it's just standing there.

Sounds like you actually rode that wheel on the first year of operation. Now they arn't allowed to use it anymore...[:(] I've even heard now that they have disconnected the electronic equipment of that wheel.

Yeah, I had a chance to ride it.

But due to fire issues or something they had to close it, it didn't look that safe though to be honest.

btw, that tree doesn't look much like a tree does it?

It looks like a swirled piece of poo to be honest.

My thought exactly.

The reason of shutting down that wheel was: in case of an evacuation, people couldn't be evacuated on that wheel. Which is unsafe [;)]

I still wonder why they didn't went for the traditional vertical elevator lift...

yeah, but it's supposed to look like a tree so yeah xD

Well, then i have bad news for you: They are going to change the movie and the music after the eastern holidays. So if you'd want to ride it in only glory. Go now!

so it is true then... that sucks! too bad i can't go to bobbejaanland wihtin a week so last season was my last ride in the original revolution

The music in Revolution is just the same as the past years. Some soundtrack of Bones on the Beach or something like that... Will it change or what?

Hmm, looking nice and spruced up for this year.

Good report, with such small description.

yes it will change after this weekend to something else... i don't know what but maybe some jungle music ? but i'm quite sure it's gonna be crap

Jungle music, cool!

LOL! Typhoon is getting green now? Oh well, better than gray track to gray supports to concrete at the bottem.

That tree is so fugly, no idea why they spend money to make something like that ... dito to the 2 new attractions they're making, especially King Kong. What are they thinking?? They're just throwing away their money.

Thanks for the photos!

PS: I did almost all E-breaks during a test, including the final one. It was soooooo awesome [:D] I immediatly putted my arms back inside, the supports are SO close to it. Scary!

dirk, can you send me the picture with the caption "Final roll, damn... I wanna do that inversion after a complete stop on that brake" in full resolution
