Pulsar - Mack Powersplash for Walibi Belgium 2016

The first onride

[Paradox]

Looks great, but I still wish it did 1 more round at full speed.

Who knows maybe they will add that when the ride is less popular after a couple of years.
I don`t think it will lower the capacity a lot if they allready do that.

Or perhaps if they aren't managing to load the ride quick enough - I imagine they don't want people to be stuck in the car at the end of the ride soaking wet waiting for the next train to be loaded. Therefore adding another 1 round would buy some extra time to load up.

Apparently the ride opens to the public some days for testing as a soft opening. The official opening is June 4th!

Well, the ride seems a tad short as the ride is over after that splash. And as for that backward spike, why is the end of that part "strangely" bent like a hook? Representing an anchor?

^ I think the end part is bent so you'll get some extra ejector airtime when going back down just before the splash.

I thought when this was first announced it would have multiple splashes. Still looks good though.

Spot on

Colours are a tad off - also I think the ride is officially open now!

Yup! Shawn from Themeparkworldwide rode it yesterday!

he'll probably post a video about it in YouTube, which I'm looking forward to watching!

He's on a 9-day trip so that video might take a while. :/

Yeps, The ride opened officially on the 4th.

I took the 2 hour drive down to Walibi. The ride look really tame, but that final launch really does the trick. I still hope they might adjust the ride program a little and add 2 more passes before doing the splash.

How's the splash? It looks like you get absolutely soaked from the POV.

Theme Park Worldwide have posted a POV video on their You Tube channel!



this video shows the inside of the station. it looks awesome!

on the air-time hill you can see the water in the boat flying up

Those lights on land flashing for the splashdown is a really nice touch - connects the whole area to the ride! (second video at ~1:05)

off-ride video!

You can say that's totally the real water attack, not a splash! Soaked? No! Drenched!

The splash it more than I expected, especially compared to the one remaining Intamin in Italy lol.
