Drievliet Family Park is a sweet little park in the Netherlands, sandwiched between some light industrial units it's kind of like somebody has opened a theme park in their garden. On the day we visited the park was full of screaming school children, the noise was something else and unbearable in places due to the very small almost claustrophobic park grounds.

The main entrance leads to sparsely populated collection of rides and some very open lawns, where as the rear section of the park is densely populated with rides on top of one another and some taller trees closing in the space further, nice setting for the park's ferris wheel though.

So at the front there's a dinghy water slide with various styles of flume to snake you back down to earth and some space themed spinning rides including Space Loop Enterprise, Star Dancer Break Dance and Lunatic (nice pun) Afterburner all of which are very sickening.

Twistrix is a strange junior coaster with free spinning cars with an owl theme to heighten the madness of it all, like most of the rides at Drievliet it's on a base frame as due to planning restrictions the park can't concrete down their big coasters and such.

Dynamite Express is a cute little powered mine coaster which has really been sandwiched around many other rides in a very tiny space, it's quite impressive for the footprint choo choo

Forumle X is currently the star attraction at Drievliet, very much like the park itself it's a cute little launch coaster from Maurer but it sure packs a mighty punch. The single cars roll out of the station into the launch runway, it's an exhilarating rush for such a relatively modest sized coaster, before tangling through some twisted track manoeuvres including two inversions, a cracking little ride, simple fun and thrilling.
