Day 2 of the Camping and Coasters 2004 tour.
The day had to be started off with a ride of Goliath (Intamin Mega Coaster), the parks signature attraction. We were welcomed with an empty queue line so made a bee line for the front seats. The lift hill is taken at a steady pace before dropping into the airtime filled 150 ft first drop. Plenty of highly banked turns and airtime hills follow this, including the infamous Stengel Dive. No surprises that this is now my number 1 steelie.
Next up was the Vekoma woodie, Robin Hood. Which like Loup Garou was fun and forceful like all good woodie’s should be! Included a fair bit of airtime, which is always good.
Superman the Ride was a launched Vekoma Looping Coaster. The LIM launch itself was fun. The rest of the ride was alright if a little rough (surprise, surprise).
The Vekie Boomerang was exactly the same as the one at SFB. Very smooth.
Merlin’s Castle was the second Vekoma Mad House on the tour. From what I could tell, the storyline (told in Dutch) Was about Merlin the Wizard versus an evil owl. Another good Mad House. No way a Hex beater though!!!
El Condor, Vekoma’s first ever (sadly not last lol) SLC was closed. Deeply upsetting (not!).
