2025 - Dock World / New Coaster - (11/4/2023) According to a new tweet the Gold River Adventure ride at Walibi Belgium will be closing for good to make room for the park’s new roller coaster project opening in 2025. The slow moving boat ride will close towards the end of the 2024 season. The video also features some concept art for the 2025 coaster project which features the working name of “Speed Boat” which is said to be a Gerstaluer designed family coaster experience.
(7/4/2023) Loopings have posted a look at concept art for a new proposed launched family coaster that could open at Walibi Belgium in 2025. According to the post, the new coaster will be a creation of Gerstlauer and looks to feature three launch zones. Look for this to be just one part of a new themed area coming to the park called Dock World, themed around a harbor village. They expect the existing attraction, Psyke’ Underground and Flash Back may have their themes altered to fit in with the new Dock World theme.

 2025 - YoY / Dual Track RMC Raptor - (9/28/2024) Walibi Holland has officially named their twin-tracked RMC Raptor coaster coming in 2025 as… “YoY”. Yes… YoY… Ummm… I’m not quite sure what to think really. It’s original I guess, and along with the tagline of “Ride The Other Side”, I guess it does visually remind you that there are two different tracks, but… somehow the name just sort of sounds like something you might give to a kiddie coaster and not a pair of racing RMC Raptors. Unless YoY gives off some other connotation in Dutch of course that I’m not aware of, but based on the comments posted online to their announcement, the name just isn’t resonating with the internet yet.
Of course, remember that the Blue side of YoY has been designed to be a “Family” coaster, with no inversions at all, while the Green side has been designated as the ‘Thrill” side, featuring 6 inversions. So… YoY… Hmmm… nope, still not growing on me yet.
(9/14/2024) A surprise image shot at Walibi Holland is making waves this weekend, as the poster managed to get a shot of what appears to be the installation of a PAIR of RMC Raptor single-rail coasters coming to the park for the 2025 season. Based on the previous comments made about the park’s next attraction, one track is supposed to be more family friendly while the other will feature a very high thrill layout with several inversions.
(9/30/2023) According to a park press release, they are planning on adding a two-tracked RMC Raptor style single-trail coaster project for the 2025 season. The interesting thing is that the two tracks are said to offer different experiences, with one focused on being more of a family friendly style ride experience while the other will be more of an extreme layout with inversions.

2024 - Mahuka - (6/14/2024) Walibi Rhone-Alpes will open their new MAHUKA launched coaster tomorrow, making this Europe’s first Intamin Hot Racer single-rail roller coaster. Special thanks to Intamin for sending Screamscape the official POV of their newest creation.
(4/17/2024) Through a variety of IG posts, Walibi has given us a look at the highly themed trains designed for their new Mahuka single rail roller coaster from Intamin. According to the official description guests will “Hop into your truck and try to escape the wrath of the God of Fire, navigating the twists and turns of Europe’s first single rail coaster!”
Based on the cars and the animation, this ride looks like a real blast that should prove to be very popular with their guests. Check it out below!
(9/8/2023) According to a tweet from the ECC, Mahuka is the name of the new Intamin Hot Racer coaster going to Walibi Rhone-Alpes in 2024. The single-rail coaster will stand 18 meters tall, 600 meters long, feature two launches, three inversions and 13 moments of airtime while weaving through what appears to be some kind of ancient ruins.
(7/15/2023) Coaster Studios has posted a video from Walibi Rhone-Alps showing off the construction of the park’s new single-rail “Hot Racer” style coaster from Intamin. Little is known about the final layout, but it looks like they have dedicated a fairly large space for it in the center-back of the park next to the park’s existing and colorful Tiki themed “Exotic Island” area.
(1/2/22) Little is known at this time, other than that Walibi Rhone-Alpes is apparently working with Intamin to add an unknown new steel roller coaster to the park for the 2024 season. A deal between the two groups was announced at IAAPA Orlando 2021, but no further details were made available. RCDB reports that the new coaster is expected to be added to a new “Exotic Island” themed area coming for the 2022 season. 1
