WALIBI WORLD 10TH ANNUAL VISIT (PART I)

Wooow, amazing

We came to the park around 13:00, and stayed till 24:00, which was really cool, i hope to put some pics up soon

FLYING DUTCHMAN GOLD MINE
rating 5/10
wait time: 30min, 20min
It's a nice coaster....to fall in sleep in, it's just a wild mouse nothing special really.

LA VIA VOLTA (+POV)
wait time: 35min, 5min(night)
rating 7/10
Altough a pretty short ride (vekoma boomerang), it was a fun experience, even better because my friend got a headcache...

ROBIN HOOD (+POV)
wait time: 20 min
rating 7/10
One of two woodies i've ridden, so yeah it was fun, nice floaters on the hills but not that much laterals, but overall a nice and fast ride.

XPRESS (SUPERMAN: THE RIDE)
wait time: 30min, 35min, 25min(night)
rating: 7.5/10
I really love the lauch, especially when it's dark and there's no "light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel". The part after the launch, a roll over some turn and a corck are really nice, but not very fast, 8 for the launch 7 for the rest.

EL CONDOR
wait time: 55min, 10min(night)
rating: 8/10
This is one of my favorite coasters ever, mainly because of the virberation, the inversions, and the loose feet, it's a vekoma SLC prototype so it's pretty rough, which i like.

GOLIATH(+POV)
wait time: 30 min, 30min, 35min(night)
rating 9/10
This coaster really rocks, one of the best smaller intamins, featuing the one and only stengel dive, a sort of zero-g but it's turn back when it's 135deg banked, so it's also know as a overbanked camelback... I rode this coaster front-mid-end, and i must say altough the neg-G's (not really much floaters) the front is better bcause of the view and wind.

NOTE: make sure to make a deal with the rideOp at the Excablibur (TopSpin) cos with a little 5 min asking we got to ride it !4 TIMES! as long a usual, i did this one 5 times with a total flip count of 49

I haven't got all the POV's, so i'll get to the Xpress Elcondor and FDGM next week (i hope)...

it was basically the same, the times have changed form 13:00-24:00 to 10:30-17:30, and the park was less crowed then last week,
and here they are:
