TOVERLAND
Netherlands
 Park News - (8/18/10) There is now an auction for select seats to ride alone with on the Troy Coaster Challenge. Check out the official website for information as to how you can participate.
(7/9/10) While the Troy Coaster Challenge event wont take place until September 11 – 12 the 10 participants have already been selected and will arrive at Toverland on July 17th to take part in a “2 hour test” on Troy to see if they can withstand it. If they can’t handle the 2 hour test, they certainly wont be able to handle the 24 hour Troy Coaster Challenge, so this is a good way to weed out those who are unworthy.
(5/11/10) Toverland will host a unique 24 hour long Coaster Challenge event on Troy this September 11-12th, organized by the European Coaster Club. The event will raise money to benefit the Dutch Make A Wish foundation and will bring in 10 riders to take the challenge of riding Troy for 24 straight hours… 2 from one of five different invited international coaster clubs: FKF, Onride.de, Rollercoasterfriends, Themepark.nl and the European Coaster Club (ECC). In addition to the 10 coaster club fans, the rest of the seats will be selected through an upcoming Ebay auction. More on this when I find out.
(10/21/08) A great photo trip report from Toverland can now be seen on CoasterForce, showing off the indoor attractions area as well as Troy and Booster Bike coasters outside.
2011 - Odysseus / Mack Supersplash - Semi-Confirmed - (6/9/10) According to the report at Rides.NL, Scorpios will go in next to the Troy wooden coaster and beyond that a new water attraction (Odysseus) will be built for 2011.
(5/10/10) The lastest word is that the new steel coaster rumored to have been coming to the park really isn’t a coaster after all, but is now said to be a Mack Supersplash flume ride. Anyone know more?
(3/1/10) RCDB reports that Toverland is building a new steel coaster for 2011 (not 2010) near Troy. While the latest rumors claim that Toverland was looking at proposals from both Intamin and B&M, we know from a previous rumor back in 2008 that the park had been looking at buying a Batman: The Ride clone at one point. Anyone know more?
(12/11/09) According to a clip from a local talk show, one of the top brass from Toverland confirmed that they would be opening a new coaster for the 2010 season, at a budget of $17.7 million (12 million Euros). There is some confusion over the mention of a coaster and a water ride it seems, so perhaps this is a water coaster of some kind. You can read more at ThemeParkReview.
(7/28/08) Screamscape sources tell us that Toverland is planning on building a new B&M Inverted coaster in the future that may be a clone of the popular Batman: The Ride layout used by Six Flags throughout the USA. Adding a B&M was mentioned as a rumor earlier this year as well, though no one seems to know exactly when they may actually do it, though 2009 is unlikely considering the number of B&M coasters already announced that we already know about.
(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.
