I was gonna hold off on sharing this until I finished my Euro trip report, but want to make sure I was in for CF's combined rankings! Few new things... one was easy to figure out, took a while to figure out the other two. 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Skyrush 3. The Ride to Happiness 4. Voyage 5...

Day 9 - Phantasialand & Local German Fair There were lots of rerides to look forward to on our second day at Phantasialand, so I’ll keep my thoughts brief while highlighting any differences and new rides we skipped that day before. Most of the rides don’t open until 10:00, but the park opens...

Looks horrible. I love it.

Glad I snagged the cred this year. I still think the woodie could be really good if they just... like... took care of it. It's a good layout with some decent airtime and laterals. That said, I'm not gonna say no to an RMC.

Day 8 - Phantasialand (Part 1) It’s time. We picked up our rental car near Cologne Central Station and made the short drive down to Phantasialand. We certainly didn’t need the car today since there’s a train/shuttle option, but it wasn’t much more expensive to grab it a day or two early, and...

What a downgrade! Should've built that tilt coaster sooner.

That'd be a VERY unfortunate name given the abbreviation.

LOVE Djurs and hope this comes true. With Piraten, this has potential to be the best coaster duo in any park ever.

Day 7 - Cologne Wrapping up our time in Belgium, it was time to move onto Germany. Traveling to Cologne from Leuven was way quicker than expected. I thought it’d be a few hours or so, but it ended up taking under two, even with a 15 min transfer in Liege. Of course, Cologne drops you off...

Day 6 - Walibi Belgium From Leuven, Walibi Belgium is a very easy 25 minute train ride, and then a short walk over the road. We arrived in time for rope drop. With it being a Saturday (and the park closed on Sunday for some reason), the day started out very busy and concerning...

Day 5 - Bobbejaanland & Leuven Compared to pretty much all the other parks we had planned, Bobbejaanland seemed rather…unattractive. It would’ve been the first park to get cut from the itinerary, however, eight creds sounds pretty nice doesn’t it? The transit option required the most travel...

Already slacking on this, although the last couple weeks have been pretty busy. Still plenty more to come! Day 4 - Antwerp Our next base of operations was Leuven, but “on the way” we spent the afternoon in Antwerp. Again, easy train ride (loved how simple and accessible the whole system was...

Boulder Dash Few rides we had first thing in the morning honestly sucked. Running slow, lacked airtime, rough as tits in every valley (titan track was sexy though). Immediately gave me a headache and eventually had to tap out. Came back later for my first ever night ride on the thing… holy...

That's also Fury's color scheme. Fury 305?

Day 3 - Plopsaland de Panne Creds, at last. From the main train station in Ghent, Plopsaland has a direct train at around 1.5 hours. Our train arrived shortly after park opening, but with it being a Wednesday in September, crowds were not a concern. First impressions were nice, despite some...

Day 2 - Bruges My friend had to work this day, leaving me on my own to do whatever I please. I left this day open in case I was too exhausted the previous day and wanted more time to explore Ghent, but it was pretty easy to see most of what there was in a couple hours. Instead, I decided to do...

Seems like a cool model. This is gonna look really funky not having a proper drop in the pond.

With Phantasialand being my top bucket list park for several years now, and Ride to Happiness being the top coaster on my bucket list, a coaster trip in this region was something I’ve been itching to do these past couple years. Originally we looked into a shorter trip that involved the Belgian...

Yeah this is a bit of a shock. I'll take it though. Two new creds for me to look forward to, even after visiting this year. ;) I like the tight layout. Seems to be heavy on the positive gs, especially with that cool pullout on the drop. That area was very awkward walking between Valravn and...

Nice, appreciate the long answer. Wasn't expecting a life story more or less, ha. Obviously you've done well without one, and that's good to hear you've done okay with the US (I suppose it depends on where you are or what kind of trip it is). Logistics aside, it's still much cheaper to not have...
