Toverland Discussion Thread

[PhantomNickDonkeys are my way of life!]

I have to agree, the theming on this swinging ship looks amazing! Overall, Toverland looks like a pretty sweet park that I would love to check out someday. Just in general, the European parks really seem to have a knack for delivering such a well-rounded experience with their rides, often thanks to some incredible theming. I often wonder myself as well why more American parks don't do this. Even when rides are announced with a good amount of theme added, it seems like that's the first thing to get cut in a time/money crunch. Remember the first renderings of Maverick? There were more canyons and an awesome looking coal "chute" that never made it to reality.

Toverland opened its new attractions 'Scorpios' and 'The Horses of Ithaka' earlier today:

Haha! Naaah, almost the same but not quite. You can actually take a ride on a Mack Super Splash but if you would take a ride on a Mac Filet 'o Fish, well... It would just be nasty.

Looks like Toverland is getting a 4th coaster next year:

Like the wooden roller coaster Troy spinning coaster will have a theme and obtain justice. "Even non-riders will be much to see and do here. What is the theme that we keep, like the name, a little below the 'magic hat'. " The roller coaster will have a place in the area behind the Booster Bike and opened after the summer.

[the ghostIt all started with a donkey]

Awesome! I(despite not having been there) LOVE this park because it just seems so fun! It looks very nicely themed and I haven't seen any other park quite like it. I mean part of the park kinda looks like a Boomers or something but much better... an indoor park with various rides, a log flume(which looks kinda awesome as well) and a custom vekoma coaster. IN ADDITION though go outside the indoor part and there is a custom GCI and booster bike as well as a pretty sick looking ropes course! Awesome in my book!

This is GREAT news for the park!

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

Toverland is a unique little park, and I like how they concentrate on theming their attractions--they're a hybrid of Europa and Efteling.

[Hilltopper39Don't make me kick you in the donkey!]

Toverland looks great, and with this addition the parks is slowly creeping up my European Park "Bucket List", still way behind Europa though.
