Hhappy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Looks interesting. Just wondering, are they replacing it (new layout) or just adding theming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Just wondering, are they replacing it (new layout) or just adding theming? Both. Although the new layout will be "similar" to the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Looks like a good way to make an old ride even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Looks great, hope this does the ride justice, it is actually very fun. I read that the plan is to place a building on the outdoor part, I actually would hate that or the theming must be stunning. I know they might be doing this to not curse with the magic Valley part of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 And this was my very first Bobkart, back in 2008. I loved it! The concept art of the load station, looks great. Hope they can stick with most of this design, and not change it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I love how much this park has really transformed the outside portion of the park. This looks like a nice update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwoopaman Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It seems that the new bobkart ride will also have on board music. https://twitter.com/IMAscore/status/559738353374203904 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 ^That is different. I don't think it will really add much to the ride experience. You can't sync it to the ride because everyone can go their own speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Interesting. On board soundtrack with the Bob Karts, lol! Maybe it'll work. Maybe it won't. Sounds interesting, nonetheless. And that soundtrack on the above video, sounds like it would be in the load station, for atmospheric themeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 It can work one of two ways: 1 - One single long track that plays at the start of the ride and continues until the end. or 2 - Several tracks that play in certain sections, being triggered by sensors. This is how most dark rides and nearly every Disney ride works. So the riders can go at their own speed, and still get some sort of audio to specific areas.

StealthFan Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Love the look of the new karts! The whole area looks like its going to be amazing and its nice to see the park heavily theme something like this as most parks I could imagine it just sort of being there with no real theme.

cfc Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 The new Bob Karts look pretty sharp. Thanks for sharing the video. This should be a excellent upgrade of a an already enjoyable attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterB Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I live about an hour from Toverland, so I'm planning a trip in a couple of weeks basically just for Troy. But does anyone know if the the Maximus' Blitz bahn is open yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBrylczyk Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 My first ever Bobkart was at Nagashima Spa Land this past summer and it was way more fun than it had any right to be. Can't wait to check this one out when I get to Europe again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCT3Bross Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 ^Not yet but hey anything can happen right? But then again they also promised a outside entrance for 2014 we never saw. Hope they don't canceled the Mega coaster they announced, and with the Efteling in 2015 and Walibi in 2016 getting great rides they should keep to at least that, oh well.

Nrthwnd Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 My first bobkart ever, was at Toverland, and this looks like it's gotten an amazing makeover and re-theming. Great park, great rides and coasters, a favourite among all the parks I have been to, over the years. Also, TROY! is pretty awesome for this park, too.

Zwoopaman Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 ^^^ The new indoor hall is no longer planned as far as we know. According to the Toverland Finance website, the next big expansion will be a "huge themed area" around the ponds to the north. Nieuw themagebied De eerste nieuwe uitbreiding zal plaatsvinden bij de twee grote vijvers achter Dwervelwind. Een nieuw themagebied zal aangesloten worden op de ‘Magische Vallei’. Het gebied zal ongeveer acht hectare groot worden. Aan de rand van de vijvers zal een grote uitbreiding gerealiseerd worden. Met het creëren van het nieuwe themagebied zal ook de huidige entree aangepakt worden om zo de capaciteit te vergroten en wachtrijen te beperken. Ook tot de plannen behoort het uitbreiden van de parkeermogelijkheden. Vooralsnog staat het nieuwe themagebied gepland voor 2018. In 2020 zal wederom een grote uitbreiding plaatsvinden. De exacte invulling hiervan is nog onbekend. Google translate: New themed area The first new expansion will take place in two large ponds behind Dwervelwind . A new theme area will be connected to the " Magic Valley " . The area will be approximately eight hectares. At the edge of the ponds a major expansion will be realized. With the creation of the new area will also address the current entrance in order to increase capacity and reduce queues. Also, the plans include expanding the parking . For now the new area is planned for 2018. In 2020 will again be a major expansion . The exact interpretation of this is still unknown. So I guess we'll have to wait 2.5 years. I do hope they'll put in some small stuff in between like the retheming of the bob and the new swing ride. New area for 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
