That track is gigantic. And this definitely looks like a really awesome coaster.

It definitely is big track. The ride is probably much bigger than it looks in pictures.

Bloody hell, the track is absolutely massive. It looks about as wide as B&M Dive Coaster track.

Makes me look at the other pictures in a completely different way, because the scale of the track itself is much larger than I previously thought.

More news from the park. Lost Gravity will be opening next month and another big ride is coming in 2019! It's great to see these parks investing more in cool new coasters!

Walibi Holland Isn't going to sit still after the opening of Lost Gravity this year. In 2019 the park is going to invest again in a brand new coaster. Thats what CEO Mascha van Till promises in a interview.

She isn't ready for any details. But Van Till said that the budget will be bigger then Lost Gravity, that will open next month. "It will be something completely different. We always look for things that you can't find in other parks."


Also in 2017 Walibi will open something new. The working title 'Brain Trip', reveals the boss on "BNR Nieuwsradio". "It's going to be something of an other caliber. You're going to experience something." There at least won't be any virtual reality goggles.

according to the Ceo of Walibi they don't look at other parks for inspiration. Van Till lets herself be inspired by other companies. "What are big players in the theater-world doing? What can you find in the stores?"

Interesting theming. I wonder why the one turn is the only one with yellow supports.

It also seems like they put the ride logo on the crates on the right. This is going to be one really weird ride!

The hammerhead thing on the far right is going to be weird. I thought it was just a typical hammerhead/tophat thing when looking at this photo:
