Walibi Holland Announces New "Mack" Ride for 2016!

[TTD03]

Walibi Holland has confirmed that a new ride from Mack will be coming to the park in 2016. They confirmed this would be a coaster, but they did not confirm what type of coaster will be coming in 2016 from Mack. There is not much else to do besides speculate, so let the speculation begin!

Here is the original post from Walibi Holland!

I wish that someone builds more Mack coaster in the USA

Do we even have any?

^ The SWSD version of Manta is a Mack multi-launch... Its just more family friendly and not as extreme as the others

Ah, forgot about that, thanks!

Theres also a variety of wild mouses and spinners such as the Dark Knight coasters and coast rider, and all 3 SW water coasters

It is been told that this Mack Coaster for Walibi is going to be targeted to a more family audience instead of thrill seekers. Also the location has been revealed as well and that is on the picknick area near the old theater that is currently is used only during Halloween:


A quick image I made of the location and possible area size they are going to use for the coaster.
It's hard to realize how big this piece of land is due the trees in the current area, but I think it's possible to build a decent size coaster here.

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

Honestly the Walibi parks would have been better off under Six Flags's management. I mean they don't really add more rides and it seems like a failing park to me. I mean I loved the idea of Vertigo at Belgium, but it was never executed right.

When it comes to adding new rides and such. Yes, definitely better off with Six Flags. But maintenance wise? No effin' way. In the time Six Flags owned the place, having 4-5 rides down a day, was normal in the park. Now it's reduced close to zero. Then again. Since the departure of Six Flags, the park had a few owners as well. The current owner is more busy with overall theming and looks of the park. Instead of just slappin' random new rides into the park. Looking at the shape the parks were in when Six Flags left, it was necessary. But I do agree with ya that it's finally time to add at least some new rides.

^ So both had their ups and downs, a well run park depending on the rides the park already has, is better than a poorly run park and new rides often.
