Day 10 of the Camping and Coasters 2004 tour.
‘Stunning’ is not a good enough word to describe the theming. Its like nothing I’ve ever seen before. The whole place has a fairy tail type theme, even the toilets. It’s like stepping into another world (Alton take note!). Anyway. Onto the rides and attractions.
Pegasus was the fun CCI? Junior Woodie with some really sharp turns!
Droomvlucht (Dreamflight) was an amazing suspended dark ride, featuring some of the best theming that I’ve ever seen. Fairytail woodlands, mystical castles etc. The best dark ride of the tour.
Bobbaan. - This Intamin Bobsled ride was pretty intense. The articulated vehicle might be a bit uncomfortable for some though.
Villa Volta – Another Vekoma Mad House featuring some stunning theming. Shame I couldn’t understand the pre-show, which was pretty uneventful anyway. As good as Hex? no I don’t think so. It takes third place on my favourite Mad House list.
Vogel Rok was the indoor Vekoma MK-900. And is themed around Sinbad the Sailor's adventures with the encounter of the gigantic Rok bird! I really enjoyed this ride. Lenghtly track and pretty fast with plenty of tight turns and drops. It also had a sorta relaxing feel to it (maybe that’s just me!). Vogel Rok proves that Vekoma should stick to coasters of the non looping variety.
Python was the Vekoma Looping/Corkscrew coaster. Nothing special. An equal balance of smooth and rough.
PandaDroom was Like Panda Vision at Liseberg but with a Preshow and 4D elements. Pretty breathtaking. Provides a couple of ‘what the heck’ moments!!!
The park also had a flying Island (provided some wicked views), a good (wet!) rapids ride and much, much more. No doubt we missed a few things out, as there was that much to do.
