- Me in the audience, or suddenly have to be a hero?
It's a new fact... Besides coasters and Dark rides, this is my favorite experience, this time it's about 'Special Effects Stages.' And what exactly is that? A Special Effects Stage is a show that takes you through demonstrations of the design of the movie's special effects, which are added during the post-production of a movie. It contains interactive elements and is similar to the original former Special Effects Stages version of the attraction. And then you walk or drive through it. At Universal Studios Hollywood called 'Backdraft' and at Universal Studios Orlando, Florida and I've done these Stages, 'Disaster', Tornado, in the Island of Adventure 'Poseidon's Fury and at Universal Studios Hollywood 'Backdraft'. I hope to one day be able to do Templo Del Fuego in Port Aventura. But also to be able to do the roller coasters Shambhala and Dragon Khan. #rollercoasters #rides #themeparkfacts #ridehardfacts #rollercoasterphotography #instariderfacts #themepark #amusementpark #darkrides #specialeffectsstage
- Superman took the subway and left.
𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁; Known to most as Xpress Platform 13 has a long history. Initially, when the ride was purchased in 1998 with the original name Riddler's Revenge it was originally green. The name 'Riddlers Revenge' was not catchy enough for the European target group, so they chose the Superman theme, which was much better known here in Europe. The track was repainted with red and blue supports. The station was themed after the Daily Planet offices. Until 2011, you could queue up if you looked into the second office, there was a cupboard marked 'Robert Lok' that referred to my old colleague from the technical service, who had helped build the ride over time. #rollercoasters #rides #themeparkfacts #ridehardfacts #rollercoasterphotography #instariderfacts #themepark #amusementpark #walibiflevo #sixflags #walibihollandofficial
- FREEZE! or still hopping with a Kangaroo?
𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭... Mr. Freeze, was the first option to open a launch coaster in Walibi Flevo? (1998/1999) Freeze aka Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast. Built by Premier Rides a LIM Shuttle Loop Coaster. Unfortunately, that never happened. Mr. Freeze in Six Flags St. Louis struggled with problems and opened not in 1997 but 1998. Perhaps that was the reason for Walibi Flevo to put the project on hold. And Walibi Flevo also watched Superman: Escape from Krypton which is located in Six Flags Magic Mountain, that coaster was high on the list at park Genral Manager Hans van Driem. To also be able to order that coaster for his park Walibi Flevo. And then Six Flags Holland opened with Superman the Ride 4-2000. #rollercoasters #rides #themeparkfacts #ridehardfacts #rollercoasterphotography #instrariderfacts #themepark #amusementpark

Another fun fact... On Mickey & Minnies' Runaway Railway at Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. How do certain scenes and storylines become clear? SPOILER ALERT!

- Through the valley light water!
𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 about Lightwater Valley in the UK is; that 'Ultimate' is not only the longest roller coaster of its kind opening (1991) by the designers Big Country Motioneering and later completed by British Rail. What also makes this track special is that there are long large tensioning straps next to the track at the two lifthills, should the train 'stall' (stop in the track). so that the train can hook up again on the lift hill. And that the train continues on the track. #rollercoasters #rides #themeparkfacts #ridehardfacts #rollercoasterphotography #instariderfacts #themepark #amusementparks #lightwatervalley
- My very first "fact" on FennParks.
Gardaland with Shaman, an exact copy of the Python in the Efteling. Shaman opened in 1985. The Python opened on 4/12/1981. A Vekoma double looper. (MK1200) These kinds of facts and Vlogs are soon on my YouTube channel! Vlogs with inside info and facts. Update: The Python's original Coaster is in Carowinds as the Carolina Cyclone. Carolina Cyclone is the Prototype of the Vekoma double Looper. (MK1200) The only difference is that on Carolina Cyclone the original trains from Arrow are still on the track and that on the Python the trains have been replaced by Vekoma trains. Lex Lemmens head of the Technical Service and Project Manager at the Efteling, Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands then did Carolina Cyclone, to eventually buy the Python / have it built for the Efteling. #rollercoasters#rides #themeparkfacts #ridehardfacts #rollercoasterphotography #instariderfacts#themepark #amusementpark #efteling #gardaland #carowinds
