Day 4 gave us our earliest start of the entire trip - we had to be on the coach for 6:45am
The early start was well worth it though, as we were off to Nigloland
We were taken on a quick tour of the Alpina Blitz maintenance shed
Underneath the coaster
We were treated to an ERS
Alpina Blitz is a fantastic Mack Mega Coaster
It is full of airtime and some positive Gs
Even our coach drivers joined in the fun
The park generously bought everyone a coffee
Once we were let loose we took a ride on Spatiale Experience, Nigloland's version of Eurosat
Krampus Expedition is the park's water coaster
It's similar to other Mack Water Coasters and a lot of fun
WIld Mouse
The "kiddie" coaster was a great smooth ride from ART Engineering
It was a welcome change from the ubiquitous wacky worms
Giant hedgehogs are business class
Two of Nigloland's wonderfully friendly security staff
Mine Train in the Canadian area
Bear themed Disk'O Coaster
It's crazy who you bump into in this kind of place
Nigloland is beautiful
Time for lunch at Niglogrill
Great tasting, high quality, and reasonably priced
A post-lunch trip on the train
The beautiful carousel
Haunted manor
Cruising the river
Wheel of Fortune
We thought this was the dinosaur themed monorail ...
... it wasn't!
Here it is!
A relaxing float amongst the flowers
Everyone met up at the carousel at the end of the day
The park owner's son had generously organised a champagne farewell for us
Not many theme park trips end with fizz!
The journey to our next hotel took us through some pretty villages and countryside
We arrived at the hotel early enough to go out for dinner at an Italian restaurant next door
Home for the night
