Walibi Belgium Review, Compagnie des Alpes Theme Park | This Park Needed Kondaa
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2022
- Walibi Belgium is one of the premier parks in the Benelux. This park was previously owned by Six Flags, but now it's owned by Compagnie des Alpes. This park has had a lot of difficulties in recent years from flooding to noise, but they're persevered. The park has gotten a massive, 100 million Euro expansion with multiple roller coasters. And one of them was Kondaa, which was sorely needed. Find out everything you need to know about this park in this review.

We had the fried chicken place by Kondaa and it was incredible and very well priced. Only like €18 for the chicken bucket with fries and souvenir cups that easily fed both me and my partner. Genuinely my favorite fast-food/fried chicken I’ve had.
We also did Aqualibi and I will agree a lot of the slides aren’t anything to write home about but Rapido is genuinely one of the most fun (and dangerous) water slides I’ve been on.
Good to know about the chicken. What was so crazy about that slide?
I'd actually say that Rapido at Aqualibi is my favorite water slide ever. It's really well themed and a ton of fun with friends. It stood out a lot for me at the water park. I also see it as a waterslide version of Chiapas 😍
I'll have to watch a POV of that one.
Really informative breakdown of all the park's issues!
yo! Local here. thnx for giving my homepark such a great revieuw. I ain't gonna say anything that has already been said in the comments about food and stuff, justt wanted to thank you😁.
ps: i'm still hoping for weerwolf/loup-garou to get RMC'ed😆!
You're welcome!
For me, Walibi Belgium is the standard when it comes to good parks. A good standout ride, good supporting rides, and it's nicely maintained. The theming is also a good plus
I agree it does all those well.
I used to love Loup-Garou, sadly it was very very rough when i went there yesterday, its a shame because it has good airtime but the roughness was just too much as for vampire, while it had a lot of headbanging, there was some patting on the coaster so my head actualy survived.
Dang! I know many found it rough last year but I found it tolerable and fun.
I visited Walibi Holland about a month ago. I really enjoyed my day there. I missed out on two coasters (Tiki-Waka and Pulsar) due to the park closing at 6PM combined with the queues closing early, though I completely understand why they doo it, and all the better for it. Kondaa is a great coaster, difinitely in my top 6. I actually enjoyed Vampire more than Condor tbh (controversial I know), but I though it was a, dare I say it, good coaster. As for Cobra, I really hope they go forward with the idea of putting it indoors. It would transform a standard boomerang into its own thing. Also I hope they add vest restraints because that cobra roll slapped my ear hard. Great video as always!
Thanks! Kondaa is the star for me without a doubt.
Kondaa looked like a top 20 coaster in the world from its first ever test POV imo. The park definitely needed it, not just because they needed an elite standout ride, but they need a high thrill coaster with tons of airtime and they got it, airtime and other weird cool elements. The rest of the park looks cool, the good old Intamin drop Tower. The SLC is, well an SLC, the Boomerang obviously isn't as good as Walibi Hollands. Overall Walibi has the better coasters and collection which is why Walibi Belgium needed Kondaa to compete.
Kondaa helped immensely.
Thanks for clearing up the "Walibi confusion" The difference between Belgium and Holland can sometimes be confusing since they're all so close and most people speak dutch in both countries. Also: while the term "Netherlands" generally refers to Holland: Belgium is considered to be " Southern Netherlands." I ought to know better, having been in both countries and each only once; 26 years apart too. The details therein require two stories both historical and true, but also too long to post here.
It's definitely confusing.
I was in Walibi Holland the day before where i was really disappointed by the food.
So i decided to go all in in Walibi Belgium and got myself a steak with baked potatoes at a restaurant in the western area. it was pricyer then the usual junk food but really tasty and worth the price.
I got a chicken bucket and fries with a friend. If you're with someone, it's a good value and tastes good as well
Good to know!
We need someting like kondaa in the states. Kings island could use something like it
I wish!
I love the colors of their slc it probably looks nicer in person
It does look solid.
Great review!!
Thanks!
Some people found Vampire, the Vekoma SLC, to be not painful
Glad not everyone found it painful.
Really like the looks of this park. Lots of fun.
It is fun.
Country cantina and N'Soso are the best food options for me. Delhi'Cious is pretty decent too, but a bit too little for a full meal.
Thanks, I'll have to remember that.
Everyone is entitled to there opinion that's what makes Theme Parks great what is 1 person's nightmare is another's treasure 🤑
That's fair.
For a long time it looked like people were just talking about just Walibi Holland and never this. Not anymore with what it's looking like now.
Kondaa was the signature ride they sorely needed.
I'm not a local, but we managed to find a pretty decent chicken wrap. I can't remember where it was from though, which probably isn't very helpful.
Edit: I think it was from "Rock Sandwich"
Ok thanks!
Cobra has sound, but was it placed outdoors between buildings, to reduce the local noises?
That ride doesn't border a neighborhood like Psyke Underground.
Their drop tower is pretty huge
Yes
I am reviewing this video mostly out of curiosity regarding Kondaa, as I really want this kind of coaster to come to Alton Towers in the form of new unique layout built into the terrain.
I think the carpark behind Air (galactica), would be the right location where they could dig down deep trenches & tunnels like with Oblivion to keep it below the tree height, would be the best realistic location for it.
I love to know your thoughts on that.
Do you think a terrain intamin Mega Coaster like Kondaa would be great for SW10?
I'd love for them to get a coaster like Kondaa, but it would be difficult with their height limit.
Kondaa is good and smooth. Their fast pass options are not so pleasing though.
Vampire and Weerwolf were both shut during our visit. That was a shame, because I was curious about both of them because of their reputation, especially the Weerwolf
Your comments about the food are totally justified. My complaint would be about their hot beverages. We visited on a cold day, so after a couple hours you are looking for a nice coffee, a nice ‘pick-me-up’ moment.
Their instant coffee will NOT give you that.
Coffee of such low quality I would only expect at construction sites, during long mountain walks or on desert islands.
It's a shame their food is not better.
I think its really sad that it looks and feels like walibi holland gets more attention than the original walibi belgium gets, kondaa made me change my opinion a little bit but there is not a clue of the rmcing of loup garou. Untamed is up for a few years already, where is it in belgium. For sure now that belgium has more competition added in the recent year, a new rmc could beat ride to happiness and maybe become the best rollercoaster in the world. Walibi holland got more work done on all the vekoma on holland and absolutely nothing happened in belgium.
About the food
There is a full steakhouse in the middle east section, hope that says enough. 😂
The owners of both parks beg to differ with you! The amount of investments that go to Walibi Belgium double that of Walibi Holland! A conversion of an exciting woody and a single rail coaster do not come even close to the 100 million Walibi Belgium got in 2018 in their 5 year plan. Please get your facts straight.
@@maartenkruijff4293 I know about the 100m euro investment, but most of it will be spend on new rides and not on maintaining the old rides. Vampire would be one of the best vekoma slcs if it wheren't for them goofy ahh trains, same goes for cobra. I still stand by the agrument about untamed and loup garou, its on the right side of the hill and it would be an INSANE eyecatcher from the street because its close to it. If you look at the things walibi holland does different like the pathways, entrance signs and themed areas… i think that park is way better in that way. The coaster lineup drops intensely after kondaa as loup garou is the second best coaster. It just doesnt simply hold up.
Both parks have gotten a lot of love in the past 7 years.
Walibi Belgium is still the better park i'd say
When Vampire, the Vekoma SLC, opened at Walibi Wavre, with the traditional trains and over the shoulder restraints, did many like it or consider it to be a smooth ride?
It was rough from day one.
@@CanobieCoaster True, but I find it one of the smoother slc's out there. I love it's airtime hill into the immelman, it's quite good!
I loved it when it opened and still do.
Would you like to go to Walibi Belgium again?
Pulsar
Tiki Waka
Vampire
Kondaa
Calamity Mine
Loup Garou
Cobra
Psyké Underground
Yes, I liked the park.
I like SLCs since I know one
Glad you like them.
Walibi Belgium is my Home park. I have the platinum season pass. 😅
You must have ridden Kondaa a lot.
@@CanobieCoaster Yes indeed. I think I almost made it to 1000 rides. As a platinum passer you have to scan the pass at the speedy queue. Unfortunately, that does not count on exactly how many trips you have made.
Would you like to ride Cobra and Loup Garou again?
Yes to the second one.
Will you review Walibi Holland soon
Should be out today!
Not about this park but is lightning rod good?
Amazing, it's my favorite coaster.
Their Shuttle Loop looks ridiculous it doesn’t even look like a coaster it looks like a giant weird building
If that's what was needed to keep it running, I'm all for it.
Do A Review On Psyke Underground
I don't have immediate plans since it's a hard one due to the lack of footage.
@@CanobieCoaster Ok
Love this scenario on RCT lol
Me too.
and Kondaa?
I'd love to ride it again.
Vampire might be the most beautiful SLC. Too bad it rides like a horse kicking your head.
I like the looks of Infusion for best-looking SLC.
Would you like to go to Walibi Belgium again?
Yes
What means vile
Disgusting
When did Vampire, the Vekoma SLC, open?
1996
1997
1998
1999
2000
2001
1999
Would you like to go again to Walibi Belgium?
Yes
Would you like to ride:
Kondaa
Pulsar
Tiki Waka
Loup Garou
Cobra
Vampire
Psyké Underground
Calamity Mine
I would not ride Vampire again. I likely wouldn't ride Cobra again since it's not a unique layout and I'd prioritize the custom stuff at a distant park.
Buzzsaw looks like one of the weaker Huss Top Spins
It wasn't one of the strongest.
Noise complaints from locals should NEVER matter at any park...who was there first? who would live near an amusement park and expect it to be quiet? It is just such a stupid issue to have...
I hear this all the time from my girlfriends work at Universal Studios Hollywood...locals ALWAYS complaining about noise...especially for Halloween Horror Nights...They spend millions on noise mitigation and they give freebies and do other things for the locals to keep them quiet...I say they should not waste their time or money...F them all
I sympathize with locals if they were there before the park (ex. Tayto Park). But not if the park was there before them.
@@CanobieCoaster exactly!
@@CanobieCoaster i realy hate the phantasialand locals, as far as i know the park was there first and they still gotta deal with that shit…
I like Walibi Belgium, but calling it one of the premium parks in Europa is kind of a stretch🙈 I can name at least 5 better parks within a 5 hour drive from this park🤷♂️
I mean, taste is subjective. This is one of my favorite parks in the entire world.
Tbh walibi is one of the better EU parks, it is up there with the solid ones imo, we just have a lot of good parks in that area
@@CancelHappiness yep it’s subjective and I like it to! But with the likes of Efteling, Phantasialand, Europapark, Disney, Liseberg and subjectively Energylandia in Europe, Walibi Belgium is definitely not a premium park in Europe in my eyes
There are better parks in Europe, but this one is still great.
@maartenkruijff4293 this park is better then Efteling
rock en sock en robots, what means?
Bashing
They have good Bratwurst
From which stand?
@@CanobieCoaster There are a couple small stands where they sell them. One is between Radja River and Karma World
Typical a Belgian mentality, the noise complaint, but it isn't caused by the parc ... rather by the people who come living near the parc, airport, highway, railroad because the houses or ground is cheaper there. And then, when they already know they are going to live near a noisy place, start to complain about that noise.
I symphatize for people who were there before the park, but not those who moved after.
I feel like people living/working close to parks are massive Karen's
I sympathize with locals if they were there before the park (ex. Tayto Park). But not if the park was there before them.
Unfortunately, noise can cause a lot of stress and be really unhealthy. Problem is that most parks started very small without coasters, and mostly not too far off existing residential areas. And over time it got worse and worse regarding the sound level. worst part is the usual days peaple use to calm down (weekends) are the worst.
Everyone should be happy not to live directly next to a theme park, no matter how much we love them
would you eat 20,000 calories worth of spaghetti for a billion dollars
Yes. I would buy a clone of ice breaker
How long do I have?
