News about G-Force

In July 2025, a long technical interruption for G-Force came to an end. The thrill ride was operating again after being out of service since the first week of June because of a failed bearing and damage to the axle. According to Looopings, the repair took time partly because manufacturer HUSS Park Attractions had to supply the necessary parts. For visitors, the reopening was practically important: Walibi Holland regained a prominent Speed Zone attraction after weeks in which the motionless wheel made the problem visible. The article also shows how a single repair in an older mechanical system can become a closure of nearly six weeks. Not every problem in the park was solved, as other rides, including Blast, still had their own issues. For G-Force, this report provisionally closed the technical chapter of summer 2025.

In June 2025, G-Force was not only closed but also visibly striking: the wheel stood tilted upward and motionless. According to Walibi Holland, a cylinder bearing had failed, damaging the axle. The park was waiting for replacement parts from manufacturer HUSS Park Attractions and could not yet give a clear reopening date. For visitors, this meant a landmark thrill ride in Speed Zone was unavailable for an extended period. For fans, the position of the ride itself became a talking point, because an Enterprise normally spins and tilts as part of the experience. Looopings also recalled the ride's background: it has been at Walibi Holland since 1998 after an earlier life in France. The article fits into G-Force's wider technical history and shows how wear on key components can affect both operations and the visual landscape of the park.

In summer 2023, G-Force faced another technical closure. After questions from Looopings, Walibi Holland said that a component was defective and that the gearbox was being checked by an external company. At that moment, the park could not provide a reopening date. For visitors, the communication was especially notable: the official app and maintenance page initially still listed G-Force as open, before the information was corrected. That makes the article more than a technical update. It also shows how downtime affects the visitor experience and expectations. G-Force is an Enterprise in Speed Zone, located between Space Shot and Cooldown, and belongs to the classic HUSS rides that give the park character for enthusiasts. The closure again underlined how vulnerable availability can be for this type of ride.

G-Force's festive return quickly gained a technical follow-up in July 2020. Only weeks after the refurbishment, Walibi Holland had to close the Enterprise again because of a defective part. For visitors, the timing stood out: the ride had just received a new colour scheme and was part of the renewed Speed Zone, yet it was already standing still behind a temporary blue tent. According to the park, a replacement part was being installed and G-Force was expected to return soon. The report shows that cosmetic renewal and technical reliability do not automatically arrive together. For an older HUSS ride, mechanical components remain decisive for daily availability. In the history of G-Force, this article is therefore a useful counterpoint to the reopening one month earlier.

June 2020 gave G-Force a visibly new chapter. Walibi Holland reopened the renewed Enterprise after the refurbishment of the Speed Zone area. During the official area opening, G-Force was not ready yet because the gondolas were still missing. Shortly afterwards, the ride was spinning again, now mostly grey with red and blue accents. The control booth was also rethemed with silver panels, tyres and traffic lights, fitting the area's new speed and car-inspired look. Looopings connected the makeover to the ride's long history: it began as Reaktor in France, moved to Walibi Holland in 1998 and has used gondolas from Walibi Belgium since 2011. For visitors, the reopening meant the return of a familiar thrill ride with a more contemporary presentation.

In early June 2019, G-Force drew attention because the ride had suddenly been dismantled. According to Walibi Holland, this was not a farewell but a technical intervention: a part needed replacement and the ride was expected to return after a few days. For visitors and fans it still looked dramatic, with the Enterprise gondolas temporarily stored at the station of the closed kart track. The article also placed G-Force within a broader technical phase at Walibi Holland. Looopings noted that Blast and Spinning Vibe, also HUSS attractions, had been out of service for some time. For the history of G-Force, the report is useful because it shows the vulnerability of a classic thrill ride while also confirming that Walibi intended to repair and keep it.

In May 2018, G-Force was temporarily taken out of service after a routine inspection. The check showed that the bearings of the HUSS Enterprise needed to be replaced. For visitors, that meant fences, maintenance work and a sudden gap in Speed Zone's thrill lineup, although Walibi Holland expected the ride to return quickly. The report matters because it shows how an older, mechanically demanding attraction depends on inspections and wear-sensitive parts. Looopings also recalled the ride's background: G-Force opened in 1989 at the French park Walibi Schtroumpf, later Walygator Parc, and moved to the Netherlands in 1998. In the attraction's timeline, this was not a major redesign but a clear technical chapter. It documents the kind of maintenance needed to keep a classic Enterprise ride in operation.

Walibi Holland was able to bring G-Force back into service in early April 2016 after the Enterprise ride remained closed longer than expected. Winter maintenance had overrun, and the park was still waiting for formal approval from inspection body TÜV. For visitors coming to Biddinghuizen for the park's more intense rides, the reopening mattered: the fast-spinning wheel could send riders upside down again from the weekend. The article also puts the reopening into the wider life story of the ride. G-Force opened in 1989 at a French sister park and moved to Walibi Holland in 1998. Since 2011, it has run with gondolas from Walibi Belgium. That makes this maintenance update more than a short operational note. It shows how G-Force has long depended on inspections, technical care and reused hardware to keep its place in the park.
