Every year at work we are treated with coupon codes for theme parks. This must somehow trigger my theme park loving (?) colleague J because the moment he receives them an e-mail lands in our inbox asking us to join him for a (team building like) day. So it happened that one Saturday in May a small group of co-workers of Vanden Broele Publishers conquered a theme park somewhere in the outskirts of the country.
This year, we received coupon codes for Belgian theme park Bellewaerde which has been around since 1954 (say what?). I missed out on last year’s visit to Walibi so I happily obliged to leave the family behind (hey, it’s supposed to be a team building, no family affair) and join my colleagues for a fun-filled day in Ypres, home to Bellewaerde!

As one would expect from a day at a theme park it featured the necessary thrill rides, the not-so-much thrill rides and junk food (in no particular order). Exactly how I like it. We did luck out on our visit as their were only about 2500 people at the park that day. That makes for no queues which is exactly how I like things.
Do you also go on events like this one with your colleagues when not at work and if so, what are the activities?
