Pulsar 21/06/2017 11h53 One of the big hits of Walibi Belgium since the opening in 2016 is this super splash steel launched shuttle water roller coaster named Pulsar. Another good way to get wet if not soaked in this park. Pulsar Pulsar is an launched shuttle water roller coaster at the Belgian attraction park Walibi Belgium. The roller coaster was an investment of 8.5 million euros. Pulsar was built by Mack Rides and is the first Power Splash in the world. Pulsar is an energy source that is locked up in an old warehouse, to which the station building is thematized. The eight-track train is launched three times, two times backwards (after which it rolls back forward) and once forwards. The launches are getting higher. In the end, the train makes a splash when rolling backwards, the first time forward and the backward rolling does not happen because the water level in the "bucket" around the attraction can be regulated. In Walibi this is done by means of a valve system that can be opened up so that the water level in the tank rises in a very short time to the same level as the water level of the lake on which the attraction is located. After the splash, the tank is partially pumped back with pumps for the next ride. Pulsar is the first attraction in the world that combines speed, free fall and a splash. Although Pulsar is a shuttle roller coaster, use is made of two trains (boats) to be able to maintain a reasonable capacity. This was realized with a track piece that can turn away on a turntable in the station. While people can board and alight in one boat, the second boat travels the route. The disk can rotate 180 ° and always changes direction. It is the intention that a boat can leave every 75 seconds.
