Speed of Sound front seat on-ride 5K POV @60fps Walibi Holland

This Vekoma boomerang coaster opened as La Via Volta (The Turning Road) in 2000, then closed in 2007 and was SBNO (standing but not operating) until 2011 before re-opening with this new theme and new trains featuring on-board audio. Four years is a long time, but it was certainly worth the wait considering how popular the coaster is now.
Walibi Holland is located east of Amsterdam in Biddinghuizen, Netherlands.

Fun fact: the tunnel is actually a water slide. Van Egdom was a Dutch waterslide manufacturer and conveniently one of their slide models fit perfectly around Speed Of Sound’s lift hill, so Walibi Holland bought it

[@aaronlesko1929]

Fascinating! Is there any chance this is what they did with the spikes on Psyke Underground as well?

[@VelocicoasterFanboy]

Fascinating

[@TMcKeon408]

Cool

[@GoudLoodje]

@@aaronlesko1929 I don't think Psyke Underground also uses a waterslide, considering the shape of the tunnel is more like the tunnels you see on every other rollercoaster, and I can't name a waterslide shaped similar to it.

Man that backwards looping in the back row pulls so many forces it‘s amazing

[@storytimewithunclebill1998]

That was awesome. Was fun to watch. Great video

[@CoasterTopia]

You got so lucky with the perfect timing on the first drop there, that barely happens 😂

[@Glowenster]

I miss this song

[@cat_of_the_void]

I know right💔

[@animalgamesforyou03]

Same :((

[@AG7-MTM]

My all-time bucket list boomerang (and that's saying something...)

[@ErdemDonderwinkel]

I’ve been in speed of sound it was amazing

[@jaystarr6571]

Wonder why they keep the line outside.

[@sdraper2011]

I was wondering that, too. Maybe too dangerous to have people in the loading area when the train is going through at top speed? Could be an insurance issue or something.

[@StijnNLDutch]

Cause of the sound. The employees are wearing ear protectors, the sound is unbearable in the station itself. The music is onboard, speakers inside the station and the train runs and breaks in the station at full force. Oh and dont forget the people screaming, and that echoing in the station, almost always buy fastpass, and then you get inside the station, but the sound is absurd.

[@jaystarr6571]

@@StijnNLDutch Ohhhhh...

[@GoudLoodje]

It’s not per se dangerous to be standing that close to the moving train considering the station has gates. They keep guests waiting outside of the loading station because of the sound that the coaster produces combined with the fact that it’s a fully enclosed station with walls on all sides. I rode Troy at Toverland recently which doesn’t even have an enclosed station but the ride does pass through the station building halfway through the layout, and even with that station only having a roof and nothing else the sound is deafening. I can only imagine how loud it’d be if there were walls on all sides

[@Noviano05]

less thrilling than i expected after the drop when i went on it in real life

[@Cyco-Dude]

Lol, such a euro thing to do...just add some EDM to the ride! :P

[@natinati3245]
