Oh my gosh! This video was amazing!. When I seen Charlotte holding that baby goat. it brought tears to my eyes..it made her so happy!!! Take care guys and be safe.....🥰🥰
I'm impressed by the way you look after and take good care of Charlotte. You guys work so well together I love every moment. You are a true entertainer full of enthusiasm and you have the magnetism to include everyone and seeing their faces of happiness is all down to you. Full respect to you
Charlotte holding the baby goat was literally so adorable! Also the first ride you guys went on really shows that you shouldn’t judge something by it’s size. Hope you guys enjoyed your time there!
What an awesome park that is, I’m so glad you squeezed it in. Looks like so much fun. Loved Charlotte with the baby goat so adorable 🥰. Glad you had so much fun guys drive safe much love Lisa. great vlog as always ❤
Great vlog and wow what an awesome park! So beautiful and lots of great rides. And the only park you've visited in Germany that allows on ride POVs on everything. I hope you'll go back there and film on even more of the rides and attractions for us. 😊
Great to see you put this park in on your visit and liked it! If you're planning to stay here, you should definitely book the Safari Bus accommodation (Doppeldecker-Lodges) where you stay in a refurbished doubledecker bus and they drive you in the middle of the safaripark to stay between the animals! An unique experience I think you would love! Germany has more (a bit smaller) parks like this like Safariland Stukenbrock
Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from Serengeti Park Hodenhagen in Germany! In this vlog we experience the awesome drive-through safari from onboard the tour bus, seeing hundreds of different animals. We then explore the rest of the park, including on-ride povs from some quirky and unique attractions. We also take a look at the construction on their new roller coaster for 2023, Charlotte holds a baby goat and much more! keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte.
Definitely a park for the to-do list... I loved Movieland Park, I think having done so many parks now I crave the ones that give new experiences, so this looks perfect! Thanks for showing us around! :)
If you like fast speed boats, I suggest you try out the Thames Rockets in London. You get a tour guide that tells you about things and makes jokes at the same time. No seat belts or lap bars as well. it starts off slow for the tour and you get about 15-20 mins of a nice intense speed boat ride with speakers playing music when it speeds up. after it slows down again, you can chill out looking at the views with the music still playing in the background. the speed part of it is 35mph
I love it when you do parks that have more than just rides, it makes it more interesting. I would love you to do another tour of the Alton Towers Gardens, last time you did it was during the summer it would be lovely to see the garden in the spring and all the fountains again.
@@ThemeParkWorldwideme and my sister watch every vlog (on both your channels) as i cant go on rides anymore due to a back problem the pov's are great just wish parks wouldn't stop you filming, keep up the great content and many thanks
That was an awesome vlog, so much of interest it would be great to see another vlog from there and an accommodation vlog, there was so much there that you didnt manage to get done this time and those baby goats were so cute!
That SBF spinning coaster always reminds me of you and your parents on the one at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, a couple of years ago, it was so funny. Charlotte with the young goat was so cute. A great safari park and vlog.
Great bonus video. Looks like a good park worth a visit. We will probably visit Germany and do all the theme parks there when our son’s a bit older. We’ve only done Europa so far. If you’re ever in Lancashire, Bowland Wild Boar park have baby goats at this time of year that you walk through the enclosure and can pick them up. It not a theme park though, it’s a petting farm so there’s only a tractor ride, not worth planning a trip unless you happen to be in the area though.
This park is humongously amazing on a very large scale with everything combined, this park kind reminds me of Chessington, 🥰 how adorable Charlotte having that unconditional priceless close interaction holding cuddling the baby goat, that’s totally 💯 percent by far adorable these really make your hearts 💕 melt on so many levels, this is such another fantastic vlog hope you guys are having a great time out there in Germany 🇩🇪. Shawn did you eventually get your ride on the top spin also have you guys bought any new exciting additional memorabilia for your epic TPWW museum? Great vlog take care stay safe
Charlotte looked happier holding that goat then she did when you proposed Shawn 🤔… No, I’m just kidding! This looked like a great time! I always love these random vlogs. This one fits right in with Funny World, Sunway Lagoon, Happy Valley and (somehow) that crazy pirate ship in Paris which you did standing up!
My advise is, first visit the Park and rides and do the safari later in the afternoon, nearly all visitors do it otherwise, so you first have empty rides and later empty safari lanes.
This video was great. I've been trying to find a video you made abroad where you got everyone joining in. It was one if not the beat video I have seen and I can't remember which one can anyone help me it was one of the happiest moments moments I've ever seen
@@ThemeParkWorldwide When your older maybe you could consider being a theme park consultant. Could you delete this once you have read it. Best keep it quiet lol
Aww Charlotte with the baby goat was too sweet :) Some very unique attractions at that park. i doubt that motor boat ride would be allowed in Canada lol Loved that safari ride !
Maybe next time you are in the area you could try and get a visit of the Huss factory, in fact a visit round any of the ride manufacturers would be good.
Cheers for another interesting and good video. Lots of unique attractions that I would love to see & experience in person. Noting this down as a place to visit in future for a vlog. Especially to ride the Safari ride which looked epic. My type of ride lol, coaster was crazy lol. More crazy 100% than rides in the UK. Thought at one point at speed you were going/someone was going to fly out especially the kid in front or someone break their neck. Glad they didn't, but yeah. I think I would avoid that ride if ever visit, brave you both going on. By the way talking about braving rides, Charlotte you really are I think getting more ok with going on water rides, at least thats what it looks like on videos. So well done for facing fear lot more & hopefully see you both on more water rides in future? Would love that if could, if not then. Then ok, thats fair enough. I know aswell I have a big obsession with GCI Wooden Coasters, but I think in future this would be an ideal park to fit one into its landscape & for a new rollercoaster? Especially if themed around a nice storyline & theme? Or another attraction idea would be a cable car type of attraction? Like what you went on in Kolmarden? I think something like that be perfect here? Maybe as another separate safari attraction or as a transport ride? Offering nice views over lake & parts of safari? Whatever future holds after their new coaster, its a positive future which I look forward to. Cheers for another video, really enjoyed and look forward always to the next. 😀👍
@@ThemeParkWorldwide do you think lot of people will try and book a slot has it will be free. I think chessington should put all the new jumanji rides on the ultimate reverse & ride and the other reserve & ride packages
That jeep safari reminds me of how Kilimanjaro Safari at DAK used to be where it told an overarching narrative about poaching. It had animatronics and even a car chase scene.
New things are in work... They also buyed a real big plane from the german bundeswehr, to make in it a restaurant. This plane cant actually transport from the airport hannover (because trees on roads are problems) . But they work on it to get some day this plane in to the park.
Just back from PortAventura. Kids had a fantastic time. Looking to book somewhere else that would offer similar park/ride offering. Where would you recommend?
It is very funny that you said there is a camel and in the same moment the commentator said that these animals aren’t camels (called Kamel in Germany). These very similar looking animals are called Trampeltier (translatet to Stomping animal) and it was just very funny that you said that there was a camel and in the same second the comentator says that these aren’t camels
If Legoland Duechestland is getting a coaster with inversions, what's stopping Serengeti Park? Maybe a Hot Racer would be a good fit as it would also be a launch coaster yet still appeal to famalies
he said the baboons are now behind a fence because they started sucking the screeb washer fluid out of the jets of the car 😂😂😂 (the driver was indeed very informative and funny, a shame you could not understand him)
Perhaps it was for the best that you didn't use your hired car, guys... The bus driver mentioned that sometimes the monkeys hijack cars, break off the windshield wipers and then try to drink the wiper liquid, because they learned there's alcohol in it!! 😂
Since May 27, 2022, the roller coaster Guardians of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has been spinning its rounds in the Epcot amusement park that is part of the American resort of Walt Disney World in Florida. It is the first roller coaster for this park, and it is also the longest indoor roller coaster in the world thanks to its length of no less than 1,700 meters. The attraction comes from the stables of the Dutch attraction builder Vekoma and contains various special elements. The revolving gondolas of this attraction were also equipped with a music system. And today, in my American trip' we tested it, and I will tell you all about it, so yo will know what to expect: Guardians of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a very long name to keep mentioning, allow us to simply call it Guardians throughout the rest of this article. We managed to test Guardians in February 2023, a time when a ride on this roller coaster still had to be booked through an app from the Walt Disney World (Genie+) resort. We already give the tip to make full use of this app when visiting this park, or simply the entire resort by extension. Guardians is an attraction based on the Guardians of The Galaxy film of the same name from the Marvel Universe and features multiple dark ride elements, mostly large screen televisions, supporting the story of this adventure. The course includes two Booster Wheel Lift Hills and a backward LSM Launch. As mentioned earlier, the rotating gondolas are also equipped with a music system. The ride will feature “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire, “Disco Inferno” by The Trammps, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears, “One Way or Another” by Blondie, “I Ran (So Far Away)” by A Flock of Seagulls or “Conga” by Gloria Estefan are buzzing through the speakers. Upon arrival at the station, it is immediately noticeable that there are two charging stations to increase the capacity of this attraction. This roller coaster is equipped with a total of eight trains, each of which can seat twenty passengers. This should yield a theoretical capacity of 2,000 persons per hour. Once you have taken a seat in one of the gondolas, a cosmic adventure really begins! The ride starts with a short dark ride between television screens. Here, the characters from the film series give us some courage, and they give us additional instructions. The characters are played by the original actors. We see Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista and muscle bundle Terry Crews pass by. The train is launched upwards and we end up in a cosmic tunnel. The trail ends in a large room with a screen as a wall. On this we see a gigantic space monster that is about to destroy the earth, but that is not reckoned with our friends from Guardians of The Galaxy. The gondolas turn 180° to continue following the story on the gigantic wall, until suddenly a 'jump back' can be seen. All the characters seem to disappear into a black hole, and the train is launched backwards. What follows is a crazy ride in the dark. We really imagine ourselves in space here, because the walls were made pitch black with regular points of light that are supposed to represent bright stars. The rotating gondolas also support this illusion. During the ride in the dark, we regularly see on large screens how the protagonists defeat the monster and at the finish line there is a word of thanks from them. Conclusion: Guardians is an excellent attraction that does what it is supposed to do. The onboard sound system and the chosen rhythmic tracks provide an extra entertaining atmosphere. The revolving gondolas also provide extra support for the whole experience. Personally, I'm not really a fan of indoor coasters, because it is often made very dark in these attractions (just think of Vogel Rok in Efteling or Temple Of The Night Hawk (now Crazy Bats) in Phantasialand). Thanks to the dark, these attractions are more exciting and seem to go faster, but you hardly get to see anything. With Guardians it is different. Thanks to the chosen space theme, the dark does not bother me at all and we can regularly follow the story on gigantic walls. The illusion that you are in space was also very well developed. Is it the best indoor roller coaster in the world? No idea! Is it the best themed indoor roller coaster in the world? Maybe… All I can confirm is that Guardians gives away a very long and very enjoyable ride! rcdb.com/15504.htm

Since May 27, 2022, the roller coaster Guardians of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has been spinning its rounds in the Epcot amusement park that is part of the American resort of Walt Disney World in Florida. It is the first roller coaster for this park, and it is also the longest indoor roller coaster in the world thanks to its length of no less than 1,700 meters. The attraction comes from the stables of the Dutch attraction builder Vekoma and contains various special elements. The revolving gondolas of this attraction were also equipped with a music system. And today, in my American trip' we tested it, and I will tell you all about it, so yo will know what to expect:
Guardians of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a very long name to keep mentioning, allow us to simply call it Guardians throughout the rest of this article. We managed to test Guardians in February 2023, a time when a ride on this roller coaster still had to be booked through an app from the Walt Disney World (Genie+) resort. We already give the tip to make full use of this app when visiting this park, or simply the entire resort by extension.
Guardians is an attraction based on the Guardians of The Galaxy film of the same name from the Marvel Universe and features multiple dark ride elements, mostly large screen televisions, supporting the story of this adventure. The course includes two Booster Wheel Lift Hills and a backward LSM Launch. As mentioned earlier, the rotating gondolas are also equipped with a music system. The ride will feature “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire, “Disco Inferno” by The Trammps, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears, “One Way or Another” by Blondie, “I Ran (So Far Away)” by A Flock of Seagulls or “Conga” by Gloria Estefan are buzzing through the speakers.
Upon arrival at the station, it is immediately noticeable that there are two charging stations to increase the capacity of this attraction. This roller coaster is equipped with a total of eight trains, each of which can seat twenty passengers. This should yield a theoretical capacity of 2,000 persons per hour. Once you have taken a seat in one of the gondolas, a cosmic adventure really begins!
The ride starts with a short dark ride between television screens. Here, the characters from the film series give us some courage, and they give us additional instructions. The characters are played by the original actors. We see Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista and muscle bundle Terry Crews pass by. The train is launched upwards and we end up in a cosmic tunnel. The trail ends in a large room with a screen as a wall. On this we see a gigantic space monster that is about to destroy the earth, but that is not reckoned with our friends from Guardians of The Galaxy. The gondolas turn 180° to continue following the story on the gigantic wall, until suddenly a 'jump back' can be seen. All the characters seem to disappear into a black hole, and the train is launched backwards. What follows is a crazy ride in the dark. We really imagine ourselves in space here, because the walls were made pitch black with regular points of light that are supposed to represent bright stars. The rotating gondolas also support this illusion. During the ride in the dark, we regularly see on large screens how the protagonists defeat the monster and at the finish line there is a word of thanks from them.
Conclusion:
Guardians is an excellent attraction that does what it is supposed to do. The onboard sound system and the chosen rhythmic tracks provide an extra entertaining atmosphere. The revolving gondolas also provide extra support for the whole experience. Personally, I'm not really a fan of indoor coasters, because it is often made very dark in these attractions (just think of Vogel Rok in Efteling or Temple Of The Night Hawk (now Crazy Bats) in Phantasialand). Thanks to the dark, these attractions are more exciting and seem to go faster, but you hardly get to see anything. With Guardians it is different. Thanks to the chosen space theme, the dark does not bother me at all and we can regularly follow the story on gigantic walls. The illusion that you are in space was also very well developed.
Is it the best indoor roller coaster in the world? No idea! Is it the best themed indoor roller coaster in the world? Maybe… All I can confirm is that Guardians gives away a very long and very enjoyable ride!
