Walygator Parc Vlog May 2019
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2019
- In this action packed vlog I visit Walygator Parc in France for the first time! The park opened in 1989 and has undergone various ownership changes since it originally opened. In this vlog I share on ride POV's from all of the major rides at the park including the 4 different roller coasters on offer. Monster is the parks stand out ride and this B&M Inverted Roller Coaster was relocated to the park in 2010. This was also a very special ride for me to get on this trip and in this vlog I reveal exactly why!
Along with plenty of ride footage I share my full thoughts on the park along with checking out a very different style scare attraction! Plus I capture the atmosphere of the park, check out the new additions for 2019 and much more!

The Monster, definitely one of the best B&M Inverts in the world, the sheer intensity felt on this ride is incredible, you can even hear it in the video. Only thing it lacks is themeing.
Love your videos bro. I stumbled across the channel after getting back into RCT2 recently, and have been binge watching your content since. I appreciate the fact you try to remain positive about all the parks and rides, to encourage people to check them out for themselves. Your videos are really informative and you do a great job of showing us everything and having a chat about it in such a cool way. It feels like we’re on a day out with a mate and you’ve inspired the missus and I to start going to all these places :)
Thank you!
This is one of my favourite UA-cam channels I love watching the vlogs for me it’s an escapism of the real world for a little while
Comet Space (the Vekoma) use to be my first ever ride with inversions...now I did 300 coasters in Europe. Love to see this park again through your eye's and to see that the Vekoma is still as smooth as ever.
Choppy Vampire music from Chessington at 1:12:15, how bizarre!
Great vlog shawn congratulations on your 22 B&M's in Europe. Xxx
i went there in 2017 and jeeeez that was intense! i had a blackout on the last helix and a friend of mine's nose was bleeding because of the intensity of that. Such a fun park and i hope they will have a nice future!
The view from the pirate ship at 54 min looks so similar to the view you get at Blackpool pleasure beach between the old space invader building and the rollercoaster!!
One of my favourite vlogs on the Chanel such a different park!! hope you go back soon
Congrats on ticking off every B&M in Europe!
I find it impressive that some people are so kind that they post hour long videos with ONE AD. Wow. Like, Shawn, don't worry about it, put a few more in, you deserve the bonus
Thanks for your support
Lol the track for Monster makes Nemsis' look brand new...
These are my favorite roller coaster videos. Just seeing a happy guy having a chill time riding roller coasters that terrify me. Makes them feel less scary!
Thank you!
2021 who’s still watching!!!!!
Love this vid Shawn! Always love all your vids!
Congratulations Shawn very impressive riding all the coasters & a great 👍 video to boot
It’s such a shame that this park doesn’t get more visitors it looks like a great park with loads of things to do
Le family coaster 1 is too intense for me.
hi from the USA !! i absolutely love your videos. some of the parks you make videos at i've never heard of!! thank you so much!your theme park videos are the best online . all ages can watch them! you are top notch ! keep up the great work ! i can't wait to view your USA trip coming soon!!thanks again take care!!!
Thanks for your support!
A great park with masses of potential, especially with a B&M Invert. You only look at Parc Asterix and where they've gone to now. Great vlog once again 😀
the park is kinda run down, i dont think that have ever had much money for investment, execpt the have an amazing 2nd hand invert.
emperormiester yup, it’s where rides go when they’re finished elsewhere
@@emperormiester I do think a takeover of some kind then is best for more major investment
@@BluePeace2 maybe they'll get Bagatelle's Triops coaster, cause I heard that's getting put up for sale
Those rides look brill thanks Shawn for the vlog.
Enjoyed this vlog love watching the vlogs cheers Shawn!
Loving the on ride camera footage. Thanks for sharing it all. Finally trying to catch up. Theme park looks great to. Thank gwad for the river rapids as not many decent ones left in the uk.
Thank you!
UA-cam says theres 1 comment, I see 11 comments, that's UA-cam logic for you. Great vid Shawn as always, what rollercoaster are you most excited for on your US trip?
Really enjoying these Adventures of this little Trip that we wasn't expecting. Keep it up and be out of France by the 22nd apparently the whole country shutting down
Another new park and a great vlog!!!!
That invert looks so intense! Also reminds me of placing down a blueprint in rct2 and not theming it.
Shawn you seem to be maturing vlog by vlog, it's such a better viewing experience, if I could say when you do your USA trip, could you please try and mention the stats of the ride, I know you mentioned the invites and the other elements, but not the height of the first drop etc, I have commented on other, channels, about this, I don't know why it's not mentioned, I just think, it would be great information for us roller coaster enthusiasts, that don't get the opportunity to ride these awesome coasters, yeah givin you can go and find the stats out for ourselves, but being that you just about to ride the coaster, it would be great to hear the start of the ride, I also think it would add to the excitement of the ride knowing the height and the stats of the rides you are about to ride, really looking forward to the USA trip 👍
Thank you for your suggestions!
Wacky worm guy is my new hero
Monster looks awesome, sadly we decor visit Holiday Park in our euro road trip instead, I think Expedition GeForce was calling to me 👌🏻
Coaster Crazy hey coaster crazy
I love the homer simpson 'oohhh' when you saw the nicely themed rapids
Love that man in front on the le family coaster so funny
I love the trains on Morgan woodies. They have such an elegant, classic feel and the buzz bars only on the Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in the US allow for some fun airtime!
Great to hear a classic trance tune on queue-line of the air racer: Push - Universal Nation.
Still sounds crisp after 20 years. :)
Keep up the quality work my g
Love your videos keep them coming. 😀😀😃😃😄😄😁😁😁😁😁😁
Aha what a legend on la family coaster 😂😂
That children's log flume is an absolute soaker, I went on there with a mate and I have never been more wet on any other ride ever.
How do you have so much time Shawn?
It looks like visiting and making videos about theme parks is your profession at this point^^
Enjoy the US trip, can't wait for your reactions and content!
It is his main job. He makes money through the advertising on his youtube channel. The main reason he is able to visit so many parks, is he uses his vast experience to get cheap deals, buys annual passes, flies Ryan air, and stays in cheap hotels. I went to Gardaland recently for 2 days. The hole trip including flights, accommodation, trains, and 2 day park entry cost £110.
Walygator is such a weird park. Aspro has only owned the park a couple of years and all the good stuff you mentioned was from previous ownership as they tried to bring it back up to scratch after bankruptcy (original bankruptcy was due to bringing in Monster!), before those owners ended up almost bankrupt themselves. A lot of the buildings you mention are old show venues, only one of about six are in use now.
Unfortunately Aspro have done absolutely nothing good to the park, so it'll end up the same as Oakwood eventually. Imagine it will close eventually, aspro being its last life.
im glad there are on ride allowance in all these parks :)
quite a smooth vlog
Thanks, it sure is great filming on ride!
Congratulations on the 22 👌
Wondered when you would be going to alton towers next I’m going for the first time on the 19th and would love to see you there 👍🏽 keep up the good videos pal👍🏽
HRG Gaming. He’s in america
Last summer, I went to this park with my dad. When I saw the Comet, the first thing I thought of was the Python in the Efteling! Makes sense I guess, both rides are from Vekoma. And they both opened in the 80s…
Comet looks like a hyped up the big one 😂😂
thanks for showing the magnets!! if you could do this more often would be great!
Sean, stop saying it’s nearly 30 years old. I watched it and you made me feel old as I’m 30 this year. Born in 89 lol!! 😂😂😂😂 thanks man!! Lol
Love these vlogs. Can’t wait for #MERICA . Hope there will be some updates on it on social media. Would love a travel vlog.
There's so much to see on our social media channels!
Yes!
Ooooo there are so many parks I've never heard of and they seem so cool!
By the way, hi Shawn! How was your day?
Thanks for watching!
what cameras do you use???
I can't wait for the vlogs to start again!
Neither can we!
Blimy! Becoming spoiled by all the on-ride loveliness. That wooden coaster seemed to have had the air time removed by way of prodigious trimming. On to the next!
Great video and park! (You earn more subs
So cool
Do you know who made mystery quest at phantasialand, this model of rapids here seem quite similar to the toverland ones!
Sorry I'm late... cool vid overall it is
NOICE!!!
U are the BEST SHAWN!
The park looks a bit worn down and left behind when I was there last, the wooden coaster could have a bit more airtime, it has anti rollbacks on almost every hill and crawls over them. The Monster is pretty awesome and intense, they even let me stay seated if I want to ride it more. That coaster alone would makes the 1h drive worth if I just feel like riding a coaster during the day
What I like about this park is that there are never lines for the coasters
Walygator Grand-Est - If I Owned The Park (New Coasters, Rides and More - Part 1)
*If I took the ownership of Walygator Grand-Est, here's what I would do to help fix it's overall appearance. First, I would focus my attention on some much-needed park improvements. It's no secret to some guests that the park looks a bit worn down and neglected. But, I've a feeling that it's time for some good-old tender, love and care. This is where I would really show my employees and park guests that positive change is coming. If you're going to visit Walygator Grand-Est in the next few years, then you would notice a galore of park improvements. These would include the following:
- A complete change of marketing and the marketing dept., which would completely improve the overall vibe. This would also include an overhaul of advertising, it will show that the park is changing and there's something for everyone.
- Giving some of their coasters a fresh coat of paint
- Improving park infrastructure
- Replacing some of the worst restrooms with brand-new, modern ones
- Adding a few new restaurants, similar to the style that Cedar Fair has introduced to their parks, this would help expand the food options and food types that the park offers
- Anaconda would be refurbished and re-profiled by Great Coasters International (GCI). The refurbishment will see the replacement and re-profiling of most of the track as well as the replacement of the ride's current trains with new Millennium Flyer trains.
- Replacing the current park pathways with pavers
- Improving the park foliage, plant some trees and grass, hid the backstage areas so that it stays hidden away from guests
- The addition of some new live entertainment
- Overhaul the ownership and staffing, so that the rides are actually operating and maintained properly
Raptor at Cedar Point is my home park and my favorite ride. They have extended safety belt in rows 4 on the outside seats.
USA 🇺🇸 road trip!!!
Good luck
So much to come!
By the way, the mini log flume used to be themed in a smurfs setting. The little house where you go through with the monorail used to be Gargamel's house. After all, this park used to be called 'Big bang Schtroumpf (Smurf in french), after this Walibi Schtroumpf. In some area's, you can still see this.
I can't believe that you have been on every single b&m in Europe! I can't wait for the first vlog from America! Who is going to bobbejaanland with you? What is your favourite b&m that you have been on?
THAT HORROR HOUSE SHOULD BE TURNED INTO A RIDE WITH AT LEAST 12 OR MORE ACTORS, AND PEOPLE WOULD FLOCK TO IT LIKE WHITE ON RICE!!! I AM A DARK RIDE FAN SINCE I COULD BE ALLOWED TO GET ON RIDES, BUT SINCE MY DISABILITIES, I APPRECIATE THESE RIDES A MILLION TIMES MORE, AND THANK YOU SHAUN FOR REMINDING ME OF PRICELESS MEMORIES!!!
Great video
25:00 do you have a soft spot for the smilers double corkscrew
Those Dinosaurs are awesomeness!
If this park was closed and you were looking at it, you’d think it was abandoned
Monster looks great and interesting to see the differences between this and Raptor. Rest of the park looks ok, however it’s a shame some areas seem abandoned.
Crazy though how the park played the Smiler theme and an altered Vampire theme in their scare attraction.
I know this is a bit late, but if you didn’t already know, the abandoned show building near the pirate ship was something called cirque du Wally or which i think it was a performance. I found it on an old map.
1:09:08 When Walygator Parc stole music from Alton Towers and IMAscore!
Is monster a smoother B&M Invert than raptor?
Monster is the same model than Raptor
As far i know two differents. In the middle part Monster dont have block brakes . And Monster is earthquake-proof :)
Did you find out what the massive rock work building used to be? Im very curious
Edit: never mind you mentioned at the end what they were 😌
A theatre I believe
Riding the B&M must have been exhilarating
It’s fantastic!
Enjoying America road trip shawn
Does anyone know what was in that abandoned building?
If you look at any other videos of the shot tower (Space Shoot) you'll see that the top section of the tower in this video has been removed hence the ride being closed.
I'm almost 100% positive on this, but right before The Smiler music comes on in the vlog the music outside the horror attraction is from Silent Hill 2 the game! What a trip. 1:08:37 - 1:09:10
The park looks way better than it was a vew years ago when xtremerides did an revieuw!
1:12:19 It's not just The Smiler soundtrack. Jesus Christ why is Vampire there too!? That's one of the best theme park soundtracks I've heard!
My favourite air race is the one at tivoli!
Please could you do a top 22 B&M's in europe video? it would be really cool to see all your opinions on them
Question time, I've just had a look at that statement, and I can only find 18 B&M's in Europe.. ? What happened there ?
@@lukaskramer6079 I just checked there's 22
I had rechecked it too, but I couldn’t find the comment anymore. 😁 but it shakes me even more that I’ve only ridden 8 of them so far.. but at least I am hitting Alton towers in three weeks for the first time, that checks another three 😬
Do the B&m coasters in the UK count as part of the 22 in Europe
George Kelly yes, its still on the european continent
I came here as a child when it was a Smurf Park. It is in such a state, it's really sad. So much of this vlog is just old theming left to decay, with all smurf art, models and charm just ripped out. So much colour has gone and replaced with dirt, empty spaces and rot. I would love to go back for Monster but I do not think I could handle how it looks today. It is such a shame how little pride is taken in even the new attractions although I wish the park the best.
Good video
You Should se the loading system at Colorado Liseberg
yay
nice to see a rare Schwarzkoph Orbiter not many of them around
We need Alton tower video full guide plz 🙏🙏🙏
I love the garden center 😂 ....its a bit dead this park lol looks cool though .... Seeing as though your in France do you have any plans to go to futuroscope in Poitiers ?
yesssssssss
How are you and Alex doing at Six Flags Fiesta Texas?
Join us today on a Very Special episode of Theme Park Worldwide!
Didn't this park used to be called Big Bang Smurf in the 90s?
It sure did
I can’t wait till I’m 17 , me and friend are both coaster enthusiasts and we want to go on a European coaster road trip
soon after "and we've got a dispatch on the Monster, Yes!", at 7'43", you'll hear RCT laughter. I swear, it's the same!
Hey Shawn, that was a great vlog on my local parc. Actually we saw you at Disneyland, wanted to say hello, but one of my boys needed peeing asap, so didn't get the chance...
Wacky Woooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Is it just me or is The Monster basically the same coaster as The Raptor at Cedar Point? Am I imagining things?
