Bellewaerde Park:

There are also rumours of a Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster. But this is not official.

Nothing official has been said but there is some hope...
The Tornado is SBNO since 2003 and we hope dat Six Flags would built an other ride there...

Plopsaland:

1) Draak (Mack Blauer Enzian). The coaster will be 431m long, 15m high and have a max; speed of 36km/h.

That's it!
See you in Belgium next year???

Hello Nijske,

of course Belgium will be hot next year even more than it was/is this year. I will defenitely go there,

I moved your posting to the international stage. On the one hand because of the English language it belongs more to this section as well as iz has an international approach on the other hand because there are already german threads abou those novelties in the "Achterbahn" section.
I guess here it will find a more international readership.

Thanks a lot for summing up all what will be new next year. Maybe we will find more international presentations like yours about everybody's homecountry's novelties.

Greetings
Thorsten.

Well the future looks bright for Belgium...but I'm not waiting for a new ride in SixFlags Belgium! As long as they would revamp Flashback and Calamity Mine, that will be enough! Cause the status they are in now? If they won't do something about this...

Hello Pieter.

Thanks for the news! Bellewaerde will maybe get a Swinging Suspended Coaster, like Vampire @ Chessington!
