We say hello and goodbye to La Coccinelle
Bellewaerde Trip Report Photos Taken: 08/15/2022 Posted: 04/30/2023In this photo update, we share with you our experiences from our first visit to Bellewaerde. This theme park in Belgium features a host of unique attractions including the elevated racing Wiegand mountain coaster: Dawson Duel, a custom Gerstlauer family shuttle coaster: Wakala and an indoor Zierer Force coaster: Huracan.
The park though has so much more. There's a train ride that goes through a tiger exhibit, several great boat rides, perhaps the only operating Huss Topple Tower and numerous animal attractions.
It happened to be the last operating season for the park's Zierer Ladybug Tivoli coaster, so we got our first and last rides on that attraction.
Follow along as we take you around the park.

The ride itself is unique in that you're in the air. It's of course, very fun.

So there are two sides. That means we were in for one more ride.
