With the new season starting over a month, there is alot of work in progress at Walibi Belgium. What are they doing right now and what will happen next season?

Does that mean that Radja River will get a new "waterceiling" or something different?
In any case I find it important that the ride has an effect to distract the riders from the -let's say- sometimes surprising ending of the ride.
- Extra theming and effects will be added in Calamity Mine.
Can you tell us more about this?
I have no idea, but there are rumors that the park will bring back the smoke-effect, with the train blowing smoke when leaving the station, plus the return of the splash in the little pond + the cablelift that used to transport all sorts of mineworker objects.

I don't know. The waterceiling that we always have known on Radja River was suddenly gone. The park changed it with two very weak waterfalls. However, some people say that the waterceiling was gone because of visitors complaining. They thought the ride was too wet on colder days and the ride wasn't that comfortable when you were soaking wet.
Other Walibi news:
* Everyone thought that when they say they re-paint Cobra, it would be in the former colours: blue track and red supports. However, the park surprised many people with a BRAND NEW colour: yellow! At least, that is the new colour for the track. It is still unknown which colour the supports will have. It has been told they will be painted orange, to bring back the very well known Walibi colours: yellow and orange (former Ferris Wheel and Tornado colours...)
* Dangerous things in Walibi! This week, a team of professional painters have started painting Dalton Terror on a hight of 80 meters. For not damaging all the safety machinery inside the tower, it is forbidden to paint the ride on a mechanical way. The team has to paint the 80 meter hight tower with...a paintbrush!
So, kann mir mal einer bestätigen das ich das Richtig verstanden habe das Radja River vom Nässegrad her angepasst wird damit er nichtmehr so nass ist?
Ich mag sie immer mehr die Belgier....
Nein, das hast du nicht richtig verstanden, der "waterceiling" wurde nur gegen zwei schwächere Wasserfälle ausgetauscht, damit der Ride nicht mehr so nass wirkt, da einige Gäste wohl wegen dieses Vorhanges derartige Befürchtungen hegten, was besonders bei nicht so gutem Wetter die Bahn recht leer hielt, da die Gäste eben dieses befürchteten.
I''''m an orange... HEY APPLE!!! Aaahahahahahahahaha!! HEY! How do Rabbits like their beer brewed? With a lot of hops. Hahaha!!! Get it?! HOPS! Hahahaha! BLACK is beautiful...and Hardstyle is my style!
@Thomas: Ich denke, da hast Du etwas falsch übersetzt. Ceiling bedeutet Decke und somit sind sicherlich die horizontal über den Köpfen der Fahrer verlaufenden Wasserfontänen gemeint und nicht die im Anschluß kommenden seitlichen Wasserfälle.
@Kristofsfb: It would be a great pity if the park really would remove the old and not install a new waterceiling. To avoid the complains of the guests they could have just switched it off on colder days. For me the waterceiling was one of the highlights of that ride.
Sehe ich genau wie Bruno, glaube ich mal. Die Wasserdecke war doch bei schlechtem Wetter eh abgeschaltet, warum jetzt komplett ausbauen? Gerade der hohe Nässefaktor bei gutem Wetter hat die Bahn doch bekannt gemacht, immerhin galt sie ja laut einigen Berichten mal eine Zeit lang als nassestes Rafting von Europa.
da hatte mich auch ein wenig verwirrt... Dass "ceiling" die Decke ist, wusste ich ja, dachte aber eher an einen "curtain"
