Bobbejaanland Vlog October 2023 

I grew up going to Opryland, and Chaos was my favorite coaster. After it closed, I figured out that Revolution was Chaos' sister coaster and had to ride it. I finally made it in 2013, and it was one of the best days I've ever had in a park. The park manager and staff were SO nice to me and made sure I had an amazing day since I'd traveled from the US to visit. The ride op at Revolution kept letting me ride without walking around, and he kept trying to show me different variations of the ride (all lights off, no sound, alternate sounds, etc). It was fantastic and I just cannot speak highly enough about how nice he was. When I left, one of the staff even offered to give me a ride to the train station so I wouldn't miss my train. I'm still friends on Facebook with two of the staff members I met that day! This park holds such a special place in my heart. I'm so glad you both enjoyed your day and have showcased it so nicely.

hi there! i'm the youngest son of bart and wendy that was there as well! it was great meeting you in person! hope you can find a good place for the piece :D

Nice to finally meet you in Bobbejaanland and that you 2 took the Time for a little chat. Thanks for the warning for the incorrect waiting time of typhoon. We did a night ride instead. Keep on vlogging! ❤

Shawn is one of the best Theme Park and Roller coaster Vloggers !! He is extremely knowledgeable and gives great insight and always has a contagious enthusiasm that makes his videos stand out from the rest! Keep is up TPWW! Best theme park channel on RU-vid for sure!

Great vlog! A pitty that it took such a long time waiting for Typhoon and Fury but it looks that you both had a great day at Bobbejaanland! It was nice meeting up and we were happy to donate this nice canvas of Bobbejaanland from 40 years ago, I got this when I was a little kid, it was here at Bobbejaanland where I caught the themepark fever 😊 enjoy themepark worldwide and look for a nice place at the museum! Grtz. Bart and Wendy

Thank you for your videos and taking us along. I really appreciate how positive and happy you guys are!❤️

This made me emotional 🥲 this was the 1st park i ever went to as a kid with my late mum when bobbejaan schoepen was still in charge of his park, we’d see him driving around on his golf buggy. We used to go every Wednesday after school! I’ve not been for over 20 years since I now live in the uk, it’s much changed.

Loved it as always revolution looked great loved Charlotte dancing with the monkey that was so funny lol and how lovely been given that framed picture will look fab in the museum shawn thankyou guys as always see you tomorrow xx

Just a brilliant road trip! Well done! Really enjoyed each park. Really enjoy the European parks and their amazing themes. Great details really well done

Charlotte cracks me up with her poncho! I must say, I would do the same! Love your vlogs❤

Loved the Europe halloween trip cannot wait for the last couple of vlogs! you two are the best youtubers i can’t wait for more content soon!!!

That mine train looks absolutely MEGA! Another great vid, thanks guys 👍

What a great day for you. Charlotte was so funny on the rapids. xx

You guys just made my day! Outstanding as usual

On the interactive dark ride I kept hoping it would say "You got a BONUS"!!! 😂😂😂

So hyped for this video, Helixxxxxxxxxx, helixxxxxxxxxxxxx, HELIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, love a good HELIX. Ty Charlotte and Shaun. Big hugs.

Favorite vlog ever with fire show and theme park worldwide best couple

Watching other people having fun on rides is one of my favourite parts of theme parks😀

Just so you know, there were a few rides here which had theming by space leisure, the company that created pirates adventure at Drayton. They built “el paso” and the “temple of fear”

I really enjoy watching all your trips ,and charlottes dance moves cracked me up ,keep on dancing and riding

Tyfoon was my first thrill coaster! Havent been in Bobbejaanland since then.

Too bad you guys weren't able to do the scare mazes, they are amazing - Alice in Horrorland, Monastery and Wrecked are really the highlight of the park at Halloween. Glad to have caught you two in the park as well (we ran into each other at Texas Butcher), seems like you had a great day at the park! Some fun facts: - The Dreamcatcher is the oldest operating suspended rollercoaster in the world - The El Paso Special was the first interactive dark ride in the world and has received new guns this year - Originally, another ride was intended to be placed where the Sledgehammer is located, that ride was going to be the Thrillenium ride - something very unique and still never seen anywhere - but the manufacturer went bankrupt shortly after the ride started to get built. The fundaments of the ride were already in place, so they searched for something that could be built on top of it, which became the Sledgehammer.

Brilliant vlog

GO Charlotte!! 💃👯 🐒🐵 Happy Halloween! 🙈🙉🙊

You should do a Asia trip next year to countries that have been to in 2017 & 2018, China, Japan & Dubai.

Revolution has always been my favorite coaster at the park and one of my favorite indoors coasters in the world. The latest update they did to the coaster was back in July when they returned two of the original 1989 projections (glass and time gates) for the first time since 1999. Current record holder for longest coaster train in the world.

Charlotte made me LOL 😂 epic vlog

Thank you for sharing! I think halloween should be in the dark... But many of the halloween days the park is closed at 5 or 6 pm... I wouldn't like to wait more ten an hour for Typhoon!

8:16 “R.I.P to great operations, that’s what I’m saying” that got me Shawn😅🤣🤣🤣 🪦🎢

Cool ❤

Yep there’s definitely fire involved 57:12

I used to work for Bobbejaanland and I must tell you that the older staff told me not to work too fast and that I shouldn't care for long waits. Bobbejaanland's management also don't mind that at all. As a theme park lover, that shocked me. Anyway, thank you for taking us along with you. I enjoyed your video's very much!

Revolution! One of the best!

the first ride reminded me of steel taipan!

Brilliant ❤

Brilliant video loved it. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁😁😄😃😄😄

Great Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte

Hey guys! fun fact about El Paso (the dark ride), it was apparently the first interactive dark ride in the world! So a lot of the interactive rides we know today were based off of this one. I've never been on it but it's an important part of theme park history in my opinion!

Loved meeting you today at towers by Nem. Wish I could of talked to you more but you seemed busy xxx

I went there in the early 2000’s, (my friend kept calling it ‘Bob and Jan land’ 😂)it's a nice sized park, would love to go again

Shawn and Charlotte, That wasn't an Octopus , that was Cthulhu, the ancient elder God.. look him up, "Cthulhu for President!, Why choose the lesser evil? " LOL Cheers, Rik Spector

I found it funny when Charlotte screamed on the ride at 26:52

Went here in 93. A lot has changed since then 😂

Typhoon was the first ever thrill coaster I ever did and it jump started my life of a enthousiast

In joy yhe ride

Having a flume and powered coaster interact gives off Plopsaland vibes

Oki Doki what a cool name 15:15

You remembered your waterproof trousers 👖 9:39

i loved watching the video and enjoying a bowl of veg soup

Hey there Shawn and Charlotte my family and I are going to LegoLand on Sunday mum and I have to get up early 7.00 o’clock I love you so millions Shawn and Charlotte xx

Thank you for this awesome Europe trip series, but you should have done the mazes at Bobbejaanland!! They are honestly incredible: stunningly themed, great effects and good actors. Wrecked, Monastery and Alice in Horrorland are without a doubt one of the best scare mazes we have in Europe and in general, the mazes at Bobbejaanland easily beat the ones at Walibi Belgium. So you gotta come back next year to experience them yourselves!

36:29 It’s pretty much the same as the Chaos coaster at the extinct Opryland USA.

I whas waiting for this review! I'm going to bobbejaanland tomorow!

I'm the monkey at 33:05 🙉 About the empty seats on the coasters: many of the groupers are students who do not always think ahead in terms of capacity. I've once seen a grouper at Fury who left multiple trains half empty on a busy day...

Revolution , my favorite attraction.. been on it like 25 years ago .. 😅feelin old

I’m happy to see you guys enjoying yourself it’s not a big park but it’s my home park hope you enjoyed! sadly my mom broke her leg and we could not go as long as my mom heals it’s ok I hope I ever see you in real life and also may I ask will you also go when it’s Halloween next year

That feels like a theme park in England Merlin will own

Thats crazy i live 15 min away if i had known i stopped by to say hello😅

❤ Bobbejaanland in Belgium ❤

The estimated waiting times must be the most accurate you've ever seen in a themepark right? I mean... the difference between 35 and 70 minutes isn't so big at all you know 😏. By the way it was great to see you guys again!

Hi Team... it's great to see all these new parks. At the end of your trip do you think you could do a top 5 parks, and a top 5 rides from your trip? Would be great to hear your thoughts Energylandia more than lived up to expectations by the way!

Planet coaster series would be so cool!

Thanks

The return of the poncho 25:23

Never fail to make me laugh sean helix 😂😂

If I could name a Gerstlauer Infinity that was built around a transport ride, I'd have 2 nickels. Adventureland Iowa might have scrapped their skyride, but its interesting it happened twice

Happy ride

Waiting for your input on the Cedar Fair and Six Flags merge!! I have my opinion and can't wait for yours!!

You guys should create poncho mercy!

😊😊😊

We are so desperate for ( minus Valhalla ofc ) a decent next gen indoor water ride/dark ride whomever gets one will be a park filler for sure . Whoever decides to get one can you get Shaun and Charlotte on board as consultants thanks

King Kong is so funny at bobbejaanland

Those rides have really slow lift hills 6:41

@Themeparkworldwide I am just curious as to what is the origins of the "Helix chant"are? Been a fan of you for many a year now but always been a curiosity of mine about the chant

👍

Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from Bobbejaanland in Belgium! In this vlog, we share on ride povs from all 8 roller coasters at the park, along with experiencing their newly re-themed log flume for 2023. Terra Magma is a transformation of the former Indiana River and in this video, we share on-ride footage along with our full review. We also check out the scare zones and entertainment as part of their Halloween event and much more! and big thumbs as well, Shawn and Charlotte😀😎👍👍

Hi Sean, there’s a lovely custom Eurofighter at my home park in Western France, it’s called Vertika and it packs a punch, it opened in 2020 and is fairly smooth and comfy despite having OTSRs. I’d love that you ride and I review it someday, it really shows how the model evolved over the years when comparing it to Typhoon. 😁

To bad for the operations, you lost a lot of time I really can understand you wanted to do the rides after being it so long that you went to Bobbejaanland but you really missed out on the scare houses/mazes. Seen a few reviews of different content makers and they all agreed on how great those mazes were even in comparison to other parks in the whole of Europe they had the best theming and actors. I know a few years ago the theming was made by the same company that does the Tomorrowland theming, don’t know it still is. The scare zones and the ambiance throughout the park was even a bit weak for most of the reviews. I hope you can come back one day and enjoy them, really recommend them. And also recommend a speedy pass especially for the scare mazes to do them all. Would love to do them with you both, you are so enjoyable to watch and look to have a lot of fun.

Pitty that youre haven't done the scare mazes, they are pretty good in Bobbejaanland !

that first rollercoaster going backwards OMG that lady sounded screaming her head off sounded like she was having a heart attack OMG, and on the 2nd one why werent people complaining to the operators and telling them to hurry?

Hi guys what day are you going to the Manchester Christmas markets this year

Amazing euro trip shame no dunriel though but great series

Is that actually true, wasn’t there a drop tower (Oakwood?) where the ride operator said something similar 1:57

This park looks awesome did you visit alton towers for Halloween and dress up in costumes for Halloween !

Apparently when a ride operator sends out an empty roller coaster ride carriage with no people on it when the ride is open, it's done to check & make sure the sensors on the ride are all working correctly. It's done as a safety test to make sure the ride is in full safe operation. I believe it's the sensors on the carriages and/or track that are being tested to prevent an accident. I would rather them do that, than do no safety tests at all. It makes perfect sense now. By doing nothing you are putting people's Health & Safety in serious jeopardy if the ride malfunctions. I did a little research about it on the Internet. Safety should always be the No 1 priority. Just thought you may like to know Shawn & Charlotte and anyone else in case you were all wondering. If no safety tests were carried out on these rides & there was an accident because of it, the park could be accused of negligence or breaching Health & Safety Laws. It's all done to ensure people's safety. So i won't complain if i see it happening whilst I'm at a theme park

Are you going to the Alton Towers fireworks this year ? If you are what date?

How about Six Flags merging with Cedar. Amazing news.

That must be so confusing 3:24

Once again Charlotte, you have stolen the show for me! The rapids ride was hilarious, but it was the dancing that made my day! You and Shawn shot a wonderful vlog today and really enjoyed it!! Also, Charlotte I sent you a DM via Instagram but sent it prematurely and it only allows me to send one, until you view it I'm guessing 🤷🏼‍♀️ I apologize for sending it prematurely, but if you get the chance to read it, I'd love to be able to finish what I was saying. Long story short, I've just found out earlier today that I'll be traveling out to yours and Shawn's area next March and just wanted to chat a bit about it. Thanks in advance

Awesome park, just needs updating slightly ❤

And now it’s monorail watch 20:58

do you remmber that kids tv program called oakie doke he lived in a tree that had a slide and had leaf ears and a acon head

What was your best ride

People who can’t wait till he’ll be riding nemesis👇❤❤❤

The girl screaming so loudly on Fury made my day. As far as I could make out actual words she screamed "mama, ik wil d'r uit" which translates to "mama, I want to get off".👌

No, I’m first!

VR doesn't belong on rollercoasters, I agree. Can Alton Towers revert the name Galactica to 'Air' again lol? This was a cool park though, day and night.

You mean November it’s past Halloween

Straight into Pumpkin Watch 1:11

Go to power park
