Paasfoor Kortrijk Vlog April 2023 - Awesome Fun Fair In Belgium! 

Thank you for watching! Please be advised that this video contains flashing lights!

All fun fairs should offer a Deca Dance! Better effects and lighting than some nightclubs I used to frequent.

good to see some fun fairs back on TPW!

Every single fiber of Shawn's being came alive in this video at the fun fair! What a joy to watch and be in the moment with you; I can't wait to see the 4K version of Decadance. Loved the cycles and the atmosphere - thank you both!

Deca Dance is my favorite fun fair ride as well, each ride I've had on it was so damn good!

My word! Even watching Deca Dance at home was an event! A great ride! I want a go!!!

I will always be amazed how Shawn is just casually narrating the vlog while getting thrown about on those extreme flats. 😂

Sat here with a massive smile on my face just because of how happy you were on Deca Dance Shawn. So pleased it lived up to expectation for you 😁

wow! i was scrolling trough your videos and suddenly i saw the name of the city i live in, Kortrijk! couldn't believe it! so strange to see you walking in the same streets i walk in everyday 😀so, welcome to my town! i hope you had a wonderful time, here! yeah that Decca Dance is the place to be when you're at Paasfoor Kortrijk. And for as long as i can remember the Decca Dance has always been the highlight of the fair. When i was a teenager i just went to the fair with my friends to eat some oliebollen (translated to English: Grease balls😄) they are deep fried dough balls with powdered sugar on top of it. that's the classic thing to eat at a fair in belgium. And we just ride the Decca Dance until our money was all spent. And when we didn't had any money left we just hang around the Decca Dance to watch the ride and enjoy the music. Fun times! In the weekends there is also a DJ playing at that ride! I was pleasantly surprised to see you in my city😀. So you're more then welcome to visit us again next year and have another spin at the Decca Dance! 😉

When you are in Belgium and there is a fair where you find the Move It 32 from Van Herck, you defenitly have to do this one 😉. The best fun fair machine in Belgium. Great to see you loved the fun fair here.

What an amazing funfair!! Great vlog, Deca Dance looks epic. 🎡🎠

Hi, I am a citizen of Kortrijk and I really enjoy random videos like this were you explore the smaller stuff that Belgium has to offer. We do have an amazing fair and it's really an icon of the city and we are really proud of it. ps: Kortrijk is a city and not a town.

Love the on and off ride footage together! Really want more.

That fair is absolutely mint and abit chaotic, i absolutely love it!

Shawn, you a like a kid n a sweet shop! Bless you!

So glad “a friend” told you about this fair as it’s one of the best street fairs I’ve ever visited, Deca Dance alone is worth the trip over there, hands down one of the best flat rides in the world

The most wholesome couple on YT. I know I keep saying it, but you 2 are just adorable! xx

Shawn I conquered my fear of Break Dance in Ocean Beach Pleasure Park today because of this video!! Guess I’m ready for Deca Dance now!! 🪩 Hoppings soon - Get out there and keep on riding!!

The lighting effects look amazing! Too bad I’m epileptic. Hope you guys had a nice time!

Wow all the times I’ve been to a fun fair I’ve never seen a fair this to be so busy hectic what a great turnout, I guess you trying to find the different sections was a bit of a surprise mission going along random detours to locate these scattered around the town. I did enjoy watching some of your on ride pov’s some of the rides look too intense made me feel dizzy 🥴 the flashing strobe lighting effects but over all hope you enjoyed your riding Shawn after the fan of the channel shared this fair with you which was really sweet of them

Shawn on the Deca dance made my day 🥳🎊

Wow how lovely l9oking at it all when I was younger could do all them sort of ride now I carnt even watch them must be getting old lol x

Imagine if Decca Dance came to the UK the crowds it would draw it be insane

What a great fun fair..ive never seen anything like it lol. Cars everywhere..could call me an Uber XL while riding XXL..pick me up at XXL after the cycle ends😂😂

Just finished work and now I've got a nice little TPW vlog to watch get inb

Really enjoyed watching you enjoy the Deca Dance 😁👍🏻

Best vlog of the trip so far!

What an absolutely incredible and brilliant street fun fair. So glad you were made aware of it and able to find time to visit.

The lighting and presentation of rides is something else over there wish we had stuff like that in the UK

Love a good Break Dance ! My favourite ride at a funfair also nice choice 👌 looks great!

That top scan was owned by Stanley Reeves jnr in the UK it had the same cycle as I remember. Such a good ride, I miss it.

This looked so much fun! Glad you guys had a great time. Felt like I was on the rides with you after that! Been following your vlogs of this trip and have enjoyed all of them. You guys are just so genuine and likable to watch. Enjoy the rest of your trip look forward to the next upload 😊

What a great fairground.lovely vlog Thanks👍👍👍

Me as a belgian I really like Deca Danse. It has been a fan favorite for many people in the Benelux. Most fun fairs I do are with Deca Dance as breakdance. I must say tho that they don't go full throtle as i've been to Tilburg and went in a breakdance and man they go full throtle. But I did miss some sort of show like Double D always does. I really loved this great review of Double D

I know from your vlogs you love a good Huss breakdance so always wanted to see you on dubbel D. It is fun to see you enjoying and appreciating it so much, great surprise vlog.

Had not expected you to visit my home town, Shawn, thank you for the lovely video, once again :)

What a pleasant surprise

Sean’s living his best life on that octopus 😂

Bless you Charlotte we had to laugh , it’s soused ‘Herring’ 😂 Fish ! Not a ‘Heron’ the bird …It’s a delicacy that Belgium and Holland love . Love you both to bits but you really need to get some culture when you travel abroad so much ,and try things other than Theme park chips , doughnuts , and the usual stuff .

Shawn the top scan Extreme used to be operating in the uk circuit but got sold after hull fair to a Belgium showman

I’m fairly sure that’s the same top scan that came to Ilkeston and other fairs in the UK a couple of years ago and it’s now under new ownership. It’s looking brilliant but the main highlight of the fair is of course Deca Dance! That thing looks insane! 🤯

it’s not just the european theme parks that are way in front of ours but some of the fairs are incredible over the water .. we cud definitely be making more effort over here..

Surprised you didn't do the Coasters, did you already have the creds?

So much fun!!! What a ride Decca Dance is!! Is there one of those on one of the Blackpool Piers? Keep riding!!!

When you were talking about the Deca Dance ... ''The Audio looks great'' ... wait what? but yeah .. that machine is top notch quality, all around ! sidenote: The prices are off , because the showmen need to pay for the place where the attraction is .. so different spot is different price to setup your attraction

Hi shawn and Charlotte Wow what a great vlog. Love a random vlog the fair looked great. I'm so pleased you got on Decadence what an amazing ride a feast for the eyes . Loving the trip really looking forward to seeing the next vlogs. Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you both as always Tracey 💕

Great funfair vlog :) looking forward to more from your trip! Have a good time :)

38:15 I AM THAT GIRL !!!! hope y'all enjoyed & its a pleasure meeting y'all

As a raver/house/techno lover Deca Dance looks like an absolute must.

Brilliant vlog thanks for sharing decca dance no1

That pov of decadence, wow again please

I love your funfair vlogs! It's always so funny when you say "Oh my god" 😂

Hats of to Shawn commentary on the rides spinning around lol

Deca dance looks amazing at night. What a machine! Stupid question, but is it diesel generators that run those big things with all the lights and stuff? 😲

Valhalla is open for technical rehearsals at BPB!

Theme Park Worldwide love louis shirley

I can't imagine UK drivers having the patience for fairs in the street like this LOL!! It does look cool though

Shaun your laugh is very funny outrageous😂

What an exciting find! :) How many rides did you say it was the best of its kind you had ridden! :D Love long rides too ! Hope they closed down some of those streets when the night crowds were heaving . This one might just have spoiled you for all others LOL

Im gonna go to goes fair too im so excited bc when i was at the fair i did the crazy rides and im ginna do it rn

16:05 or maybe Walloon after all with both French and Dutch. Would also explains the comics look. Although, they are refereed to as the Franco-Belgian comics (Astérix, Lucky Luke, The Smurfs, Tintin, etc.). And erm, I don't know if you ever have drive into Lille from Belgium, but I remember seeing spelled "Rijsel" on either a sign or a building. Perhaps even both. Yes, to this day since Rijsel originally spoke Dutch there is still well, at least a fond feeling towards Dutch in that part of northern France. And likewise we sort of still mourn that it's Lille, along with the region in France now. Speaking French. Instead of Dutch. Like proper Flanders. Oh well. If anyone knows, please reply. Thank you, bedankt & merci in advance!

So the area your in a artist I listen to known as lil peep. Has two or 3 music videos that I swear have that church in it. Gave me chills seeing it again. Great video like always guys. Much love from Florida

In the States, most of these rides are not even available and the almost "no rules" while riding would not be tolerated but it looks like such fun!! 🥳

it's an expensive fair , Deca Dance never disappoints :) so this year also to Dusseldorf?

You obviously had great fun at this fun fair. We sometimes go to Belgium /Ostend in October time and they often have a fun fair on in the evenings I have noticed.

This is where the retro squad belong 😂

We had that ride in Great Yarmouth what you like . In long way go now 😊

15:24 That is, I assume - a French attraction, after all you're just 25 km away from Rijsel, or as they call it Lille. Likewise, the French call this city Courtrai. It's a proper Flemish city., often referred to as City of the Golden Spurs, referring to the Battle of Courtrai or the Battle of the Golden Spurs which took place on 11 July 1302 on the Fields of Groeninge in Courtrai. In 1820 the Treaty of Kortrijk was signed, laying out the still-current borders between France and Belgium. A very important piece of history if you think about it! Anyhow, that explains the very old buildings in the city.. With 'proper Flemish, I just mean't the middle ages Flanders, what is now West- and East-Flanders in Belgium, Zeelandic Flanders in the Netherlands and French Flanders (Lille etc).

Could you imagine if deca dance was at Alton? It would have a 90+ min queue

Heron 😂 it’s Soused Herring and it’s absolutely banging!

Thanks for sharing

The lighting package! 😍

I’m heading too fantasy island this Saturday I’m really looking forward too riding millennium

That XXL 😱

I must admit, I love a good break dance. But Deca Dance looks another 10 levels above any i've been on LOL

Super fun🙂

This fair looked absolutely amazing especially with the Huss Breakdance as the fairs there in Europe are way better than the fairs in the Uk in my opinion Shawn 👍

I can’t believe you can actually stand up on deca dance 😂 thank god they’re still strapped in - and you can queue right next to it operating 😂 mad how different it is to the UK

You can’t beat a good fun fair ride!

The Xtreme Top Scan used to be owned by Stanley Reeves in the UK, You have actually ridden it before back in your 2021 Christmas Vlog from The Trafford Centre

22:40 I like that song at my local funfairs

Extreme top scan used to be in the uk I believe

Great funfair Vlog Shawn and Charlotte, I really want to visit a European funfair one day

Oh boy! Kortrijk has one strange fun fair! The one's you need to do if you're a fan of these things in Belgium is the summer fair in Brussels and the one in Antwerp. Those are big!

3:14 looks like retro Medusa Floorless colors

Absolutely amazing , love your blogs

I am so happy that you visited my home town but that pronouncation of Kortrijk😂

Keep up the great content

@themeparkworldwide the xtreme top scan was in the UK it was recently sold over to the German showman.great vid

Amazing

Deca Dance looks awesome! Is there a way to find out where it’s travelling to next?

Did Alton towers have something similar to deca dance in the 1990s? I have a feeling it's in their unreleased retro squad catalogue

Fantastic video. These ride operators put ours to shame with their 5 min cycles. The UK is just one big rip off with everything. Proof is in the 6 euro price for that XXL and it being more here and a short cycle. As for your love of lighting Shawn, I'm the same as I work in events and it's my fave bit when I plan my lighting at venues in and around London. I'll always be playing around during events when I should be doing other things 😂 Deca Dance certainly looked amazing. Great vlog as always you two. ❤

I’ve been watching since your crealy videos and are you ever gonna go back

If you love street fairs Shawn, come to Kirkcaldy for Link’s Market! Longest street fair in Europe and oldest in Scotland 😊

Nice Vlog! & some great machines there, very unique layout how the fair is split into sections, usually at UK street fairs it is continuous and there’s usually no separations haha 😅, nice to see the ex UK Xtreme top scan there 👍🏻

How did deca dance go on for five minutes omgg id just want to get off n go home

The sad thing is that Xtreme Top Scan used to travel the UK Circuit only a year or so ago. What happened to our amazing flat rides? So glad we still have the XXL in the UK at least …

Is that the other top scan that was travelling the UK but sold abroad

Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from the Paasfoor Kortrijk, an awesome fun fair in Belgium! In this vlog, we explore everything that this huge fun fair has to offer along with sharing on ride povs from some of the biggest rides including XXL, Xtreme, and Decca Dance. This awesome Huss Breakdance features amazing lighting, audio, and effects creating one of the best fun fair rides out there! keep the good videos coming on the channel. 😀🥰🤩
