Toverland Discussion Thread

[RCFreakTPR's Favorite Beaner]

This can only be a good thing for Toverland as it really was a great little park. I'd be excited to see if they did go all out theme wise for the rest of the outside park because after the quality of theming around Troy, their Booster Bike seemed pretty out of place to me.

Quick translation:

Toverland goes further with the myth of Troy



Coastervision (another dutch website) was present at the press conference regarding this years addition to Toverland. Toverland wants to expand the area around Troy in the following years, so the myth around Troy is being expanded.

This year there will be 2 additions, a 15 meter high swinging ship and a horsetrack for the little ones. The swingship has a very special tail... The Scorpion (Scorpios) brings you back to the authentic harbor around Troy. The new attractions will open beginning of july at Toverland. A fixed food and drinks point will be added in the same style as.




Scorpios
The special thing about this swing ship is the angle of decline. A normal ship goes to 60 degrees, this one has a minimum of 75, according to Caroline Maessen. During the press conference we were also given a small preview regarding the music around. As soon as you arrive you will get into the vibe of the area, but as soon as you board the ship.. it will change completely.. a storm is coming..

Facts:
Height Scorpios: 15 meters
Length Scorpios: 16 meters
Speed: 42 km/hour
Minimum height: 110cm
Number of people: 42 guests per ride
Capacity: 800 gasts/hour
Cost of the entire area: €2.500.000,-

Oddyseus:
According to Caroline Maessen this was only the beginning of what was to come for next year. Guests will be able to pass along this attraction to the new Oddyseus.What this will be be has not been revealed just. Next year Toverland celebrates it's 10 years party and they want togo big for this. Construction for Oddysseus will start in September assuming funding will go as planned since this will be a 10 million euro.

Is the coaster in the background Oddyseus? Thanks again for the translation. It's nice to have multilingual individuals on the forums.

^I'm about 99% sure that's their Vekoma Motorbike coaster Booster Bike.

[DBruI will provide you with maximum pleasure.]

So...do they have plans to dig out the land under the Vekoma coaster and fill it in with water, or was it just drawn that way for the sake of making the concept art look better?

Did search for this movie file with google (there are some files on youtube, but they have a bad quality sometimes):

(You will need a while to preload the file)

Searched for "Toverland + Scorpios

I dont think its all water, the water around scorpios is darker and actually has a water texture, the blue under boosterbike and under troy is lighter and no texture, so I'm guessing its just to make it look better ^^


btw, i don't want to get ahead of myself here, but in the video you can see that booster bike has some theming with a colosseumlike structure at one end. I really hope they will (re)theme boosterbike, because it really doesnt fit in with the rest of the outdoor area, especially with the new attractions. Although i don't know how they would make the bikes work in this theming..

Either chariots or off-road bike might work
