Walibi Holland is on the verge of realizing an ambitious project: In the spring of 2025, a spectacular new roller coaster is set to open, already creating a buzz. In a memo to staff, the first images of the roller coaster, currently being manufactured in the United States by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC), were shared.
Unique Design: Single Rail with a Dual Experience
What sets this new attraction apart is its innovative design. It is a single-rail roller coaster, based on RMC's so-called Raptor track – a structure that uses just one steel rail, rather than the traditional two rails. This design promises a more intense and dynamic ride experience.
Variety for All Age Groups
The roller coaster will offer two different track layouts: a family-friendly version without inversions and a more intense option with inversions. With this, Walibi Holland aims to appeal to a wide audience, offering both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts an unforgettable experience.
Successful Partnership: Walibi and RMC
Choosing RMC as a partner for this project is not surprising. Walibi Holland has had positive experiences with the company, especially with the realization of the hybrid roller coaster Untamed in 2019. This roller coaster, which replaced the old wooden roller coaster Robin Hood, quickly became one of the park's main attractions.
A Trend in the Amusement Park Industry
The decision for a single-rail roller coaster reflects a current trend in the amusement park industry. Walibi Rhône-Alpes, a sister park, is also planning to open its own single-rail roller coaster next year, though it will be from a different manufacturer.
Innovative Planning and Vision
In her message to the staff, park director Mascha Taminiau expressed excitement about the progress and emphasized the complexity of planning such large-scale projects. Her words: “Sometimes I don't even know what year it is” illustrate the challenges and dynamism in planning attractions that take several years to complete.
Conclusion: A New Chapter for Walibi Holland
With the opening of the new roller coaster in 2025, Walibi Holland begins a new chapter. This attraction will enrich the park's offerings and set new standards in the amusement park industry. For roller coaster enthusiasts and families alike, the newcomer promises to be a highlight and underscores Walibi's position as one of the top amusement parks in Europe.
With its forward-looking vision and willingness to invest in innovative concepts, Walibi Holland once again sets benchmarks in the amusement park industry. The new roller coaster will undoubtedly attract numerous visitors and enrich the park experience for all age groups. As visitors eagerly await its opening, Walibi Holland continues to be a leader in the world of amusement parks.
