Loup Garou, wooden roller coaster in Wavre, Belgium
Loup Garou is a wooden roller coaster located at Walibi Belgium in Wavre. The structure winds through a series of drops and turns that carry riders quickly along a path of wooden track and support beams.
The roller coaster opened in 2001 and marked an important addition to Walibi Belgium's attractions. This Vekoma-manufactured ride brought a new experience to the park that has remained popular since its debut.
The name comes from French folklore and refers to a mythological creature that transforms from human to wolf under the full moon. This connection to local legend gives the ride a deeper meaning beyond its mechanical design.
The ride stands in the Entreegebied of Walibi Belgium, beside the Dyle, and its layout crosses over the water. Two trains run, each with four cars of three rows seating two abreast, so 24 riders per train and 1,080 people per hour. The circuit ends in a pneumatic brake zone.
The ride avoids inversions entirely and instead focuses on drops and curves that keep riders upright throughout the journey. This design choice makes the experience accessible to a wider audience without spinning elements.
