It's been a while since my last visit (back in May 2002 for Coasterfriends I), so while staying for some days at Elburg in the Netherlands, it was time to make a day trip to Six Flags Holland.
Looking at the mother of all further SLCs: El Condor

A special way of addressing the General Public: This sheet annonces the actual birthday of a ride op who is doing service on his birthday at Excalibur (Huss Top Spin). The sheet is located in the Q-line of nearby wooden coaster Robin Hood. I don't wanna imagine how many visitors kept congratulating.

An old show concept has returned to the park. Back in the days of Walibi Flevo (Six Flags Holland debuted in 2000 under the flags) I made my first visit to the park in 1998 the park was presenting a stunt show dubbed "King Solomons Mine Adventures". In was then followed by a Batman show. Now in 2003 the show returns with a storyline close to the first show in the elder days. Here are some shots of the new show.

Next to Henk, who is the Warm-Up-Actor of the show there are to volunteers: among them a boy and a girl who are shooting a blind date TV-show at the park. You can identify them easily because of the cameras above their heads. Will they have fallen in love throughout the day? Who knows?

The new show is about some kind of the good guy freeing the Egyptian beauty from the temple of doom...

...some action fighting...

...and a bunch of actors who are trying to kill the two lovers. In addition the volunteers do have a cameo apperance dressed in some kind of birdlike dresses.

The beauty of merry-go-rounds (even though not operating that day)

It was a day of using the slower rides...

...due to the fact that we visited together with two friends that don't like going on "wild-style"-rides. A special thanks goes to the ride op who did the photo of the four of us. In case you wanna know. It's me, who is driving the Walton's Mountain type of car.

La Grand Roue is the name of the ferris wheel in the french section of that Six Flags park. I like the french chansons that can be heard in this part of Six Flags Holland.

The picture may stand for itself. In case you don't understand the words, the sign reads: Due to troubles there is only one train operating at the top attraction: Goliath. The management is thankful for the visitors understanding.

In the afternoon the sun came up making it a good time for riding the wet attractions at the park.

Sky Diver an upcharge attraction, in the foreground you can see the closed Roedo-styled Breakdance. As well as the Breakdance there were two other rides not operating: The Tomahawk and the merry-go-round shown in a previous picture.

One of my favourites at the park: Sherwoods Revenge (a Huss-Tri Star reminding me of my younger and more vulnerable years).

The park seen shortly after having opened. Throughout the day the park became more crowded, especially with school classes. The day was characterized by having arguments with young people who tried to jump lines, who spitted, yelled and got rid of their disposals right where they were standing. We should have gone to Slagharen, a park nearby, instead but we had some coupons from the RCT-PC-game and I myself have a season pass. Maybe we think differently next time.
