Toverland's Expansion Plan

Looopings reports that Toverland is working with ETF Ride Systems on the replacement to Maximus Blitz Bahn, which will apparently be a new attraction type that’ll still retain the ”look and feel” of its predecessor. The new ride will include a conveyer belt loading system to ensure cars are moving at all times, further increasing capacity. Insiders report that it ”won’t be long” before the conversion is made, but Maximus’s closure still won’t be announced until a later date.

Lots of announcements coming out for Toverland...

The park are looking to get a 20m Euro loan from the local province, as they look to spend a total of 98m Euros on new investments, including theme park, resort and back of house stuff. The local province have done similar loans to the park in the past: https://www.l1nieuws.nl/nieuws/3106...oen-euro-lenen-aan-toverland-voor-uitbreiding

There's still traction on Blitz Bahn, which seems to be getting upgraded as opposed to outright replaced. It will be some form of "swinging bobsled" type ride developed by ETF. The ride is still currently open, but the new version should be ready by the end of this year: https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/318...litz-Bahn-in-Toverland-swinging-bobsleds.html

The park will open a permanent Ithaka-themed holiday park next summer: https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/318...iepark-Ithaka-Resort-openen-in-juni-2027.html

This is something that's been in the plans for YEARS, so it's great to see it getting closer and closer to fruition.

Worth noting that as part of the investment strategy, Toverland has said they still have a long-term ambition to become a complete destination resort, and believe they have the space and infrastructure to accommodate about 3.74 million visitors annual by 2046 (they had 1.17 million in 2024).

AND on top of that, the park are looking at enhancing Port Laguna, their entrance area, with three new rides: an omnimover dark ride, a small boat ride and a Zamperla Demolition Derby. This enhancement will also include a new restaurant, and should be ready by the end of 2027 / for the 2028 season: https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/318...darkride--restaurant-en-complete-upgrade.html

The park have been very ambitious in the last decade, and maybe have fallen short of some of their aims (especially after spending so much on Avalon and Port Laguna), but it's great to see the ambition carrying on!

in the released concepts there are also some drawings of what it seems an S&S Railrider train with a frog on it, I don't know what's going on, it's seems like they put it there without any sense
