TOVERLAND
Netherlands
Park News - (9/13/05) Theme Park Review has added several pages of park photos and a video from their 2005 Massive Europe update.
2008 - Toverhuis - (2/25/08) Toverland (Holland) has announced that they will build a new attraction called Toverhuis (Magic House) where guests can use a magic wand and try their hand at making some magic. This sounds like a walk-through attraction as guests pass through a wardrobe, bedroom, kitchen, living room and garden with a wand in hand that will interact with many features in the environment. While this sounds very familiar to those who have seen a MagiQuest system in action, this is actually a different system “developed by Lagotronics from Venlo”. Toverhuis will be an indoor attraction placed near the Teacups and should open in April.
(1/15/08) Theme Park Vision tells me that they have posted an interview with the marketing manager at Toverland… but unfortunately it’s all in Dutch. For us English speakers, they tell me that they were told that Toverland would be adding something unique in 2008, but it wouldn’t be a new big thrill ride. The new attraction will be placed in one of their two indoor themed areas. They also said that the park is planning to build a B&M coaster someday in the future.
2010/2011 - Phase 3 Indoor Expansion - Planned - (1/15/08) Apparently the Vekoma coaster project isn’t as locked in as we had heard. They are still considering several different options at this point. The date has also been pushed back from 2009 as well.
(9/13/07) Screamscape has heard that Toverland seems to have bumped up their expansion plans a bit and now wants to have their next new indoor attractions area open by 2009.
(4/16/07) Plans for the next big indoor expansion from Toverland will include several new flat rides as well as a new Vekoma coaster according to a report at Coaster Touring.
(6/15/06) Along with the announcements for the two new coasters, the park mentioned that they would like to have their third phase of expansion completed by 2010, doubling the size of the attractions area.
???? - B&M Coaster - Planned - (1/15/08) Toverland has stated that they would like to add a B&M coaster someday in the future. No more details were given.
