Today I went to bellewaerde with 2 of my friends, we arrived at around 10 AM and we saw u huge crowd of mostly school children waiting for the park to open, after a few minutes all the gates opened and in under 15 minutes we we're in, we headed straight to the boomerang.
We had to wait for around half an hour and we sat in the very first row, the ride was very smooth for a 30 year old boomerang. I ended up in the second row later that day for another smooth but very forceful ride especially the backwards loop. Then we headed over to the huss topple tower.
For those who don't know this ride it's a round cart which goes up the giant birds neck and it then "topples" while the cart is spinning around which is pretty awesome, as the tower is also turning in the meantime.
we then wen't over to the indoor zierer coaster also known as huracan.
We had to wait around 45 minutes but we eat in the queue so it wasn't too much lost time.
The queue was themed to a mineshaft with real wood on the sides and it was darkened , the station was a mayan temple I think with like lights who flicker
The ride starts off with a dark ride section which featured a giant waterfall on each side, some high-powered fans giving you the chills and then you went up the very quick lift hill.
at the top you go outside for a quick turn.
And then you dive back into the building.
The rest of the ride we're all helices with some good forces but it was pretty short unfortunately, on the brakerun which was used for the finale there was a weird laser setup and a big medaillon, it was a nice ending to a short but very enjoyable coaster.
We will have another ride on it later that day but the wait was only 25 minutes then.
Then we walked over to the very old and very rough "keverbaan" a 30+ year old zierer tivoli. it was fun but rough and there was almost no leg-room. You do get 2 rounds on it so that combined with the green in and around the coaster made it fun.
While walking to the other side of the park we passed the log flume.
We didn't ride it as it had a way too long line even though it still a good ride with all the trees surrounding it and the themed lift hill.
On the other side there's a water ride which absolutely soaks you. and a huss drop and launch all-in-one thingy. it's a pretty cool ride we didn't get double rides as we did 2 years ago. we will also ride it one more time before leaving the park.
Overall the park is fun to be at but doesn't feature the biggest thrills or the highest coasters. It does however have some nice theming especially in the mexico square like this storefront.
And there is loads of green and some small rivers with these jungle type bridges crossing them. We had a blast and I think that's the most important thing to have at a themepark!
