Vampire, Inverted roller coaster at Walibi Belgium, Wavre, Belgium
Vampire is a steel inverted roller coaster built by Vekoma at Walibi Belgium in Wavre, in the park's entrance area. Its 689-metre circuit reaches a top speed of 80 km/h and climbs to 33.3 metres, with five inversions: a roll-over, a sidewinder and two inline twists. The photograph shows teal supports and track with a red-orange running rail, a large vertical loop and a train of orange cars with over-the-shoulder restraints.
Vampire opened in 1999 as part of a 400 million Belgian franc investment in three new attractions, costing 250 million francs itself. It was the largest single investment Premier Parks made at the park before it became Six Flags Belgium. Built by Vekoma as a standard Suspended Looping Coaster, it was repainted for the 2010 season, with supports changing from blue to black while the rail stayed red. The park announced on 6 June 2026 that it will close permanently in autumn 2027.
In 2009 Walibi Belgium gave each month of its Big7 campaign to a different attraction, and June belonged to Vampire: the park partnered with the Red Cross, which collected blood donations on site. The ride is a standard Vekoma Suspended Looping Coaster, and its twin Condor stands in Walibi Holland.
The coaster can handle large numbers of visitors per hour and is accessible from many areas of the park. Guests should be prepared for intense turns and upside-down moments during their ride.
Vampire is a standard Vekoma Suspended Looping Coaster, nearly identical to Condor at Walibi Holland. Its 689-metre layout reaches 80 km/h and five inversions: a roll-over, a sidewinder and two inline twists. For its foundations, the park used Belgium's only pile drill, the machine previously employed on the TGV site at Waremme, which reached rock beneath more than twelve metres of wet soil to anchor 149 pillars.
