Rollercoaster; idea to reality
Description
Walibi Holland has the most amazing rollercoasters in the Netherlands. Every year, the many visitors to the park experience adrenaline. In a rollercoaster, all kinds of forces are unleashed on the body. How far do we go? What is all possible?
This afternoon focuses on the process from idea to reality. From design, construct & maintain. Vekoma designs and builds roller coasters all over the world, but also for Walibi Holland.
