Re: Toverland | "Unknown" | Mack Spinner

Toverlands website also says it'll be open for end of September which is in agreement with Mack's prediction (handy!)

Hopefully it'll be open for our little CF trip over there on Sept 30th!

^ Remember, they're not just building the coaster, there's a whole new land/expansion around it, including a Rapids and some other small rides.

Double post, but its worth it.

Some pics showing a more detailed look at the expansion:

Looks like the Booster Bike might be given a theme to fit into the new area!

Sorry for double posting but:
The final piece of track was installed yesterday evening.

Woah. That was quick. Nice colours though!

I wonder how long it will be before a POV, The Storm's POV was extremely quick after completion.

I can't quite tell by looking at the track layout whether it is a clone of the one at Le Pal or not. TBH i do not care if it is a clone of the one at Le Pal because i doubt i will ever go to Le Pal, but i would love to go to Toverland.

Re: Toverland | "Unknown" | Mack Spinner

^ It is a clone...

Re: Toverland | "Unknown" | Mack Spinner

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but rcdb has this down as d'Wervelwind.

Re: Toverland | "Unknown" | Mack Spinner

^ That is the name Toverland has given the coaster, so it's correct.
Also, the first 4 people have ridden the coaster.
It is seen in this video (Dutch commentary):

In the video you can also see the coaster's name being painted (and decorated) on the station building.

The station looks nice, but the trains looks gross:

Omg I LOVE the colour of the trains <3 Such Toverland haha! The station is gorgeous, as to be expected from this park though, I love their weird fairytale style they have =]

 

[Tomatron]

Colourscheme looks like a bag of Skittles. Nom nom.

Hope this is fully open for everyone who's going there this weekend!

 

[Hixee]

Wow, I do rather like that station! It looks fantastic!

 

[Martyn B]

According to RCDB, it officially opened yesterday.

According to RCDB, it officially opened yesterday.

The "Official" opening is on october 1st, but since the ride was ready to operate the had a soft-opening yesterday.

In the video I posted earlier it is stated by the park that they wanted to open the ride as soon as possible.

[Martyn B]

So it is open then?

RCDB is very strict when it comes to info, so they wouldn't have put it as opened yesterday if it was just a 'soft' opening.

 

[Sneaky]

I'm sorry for this, but it is getting quite confusing.
Some people on the dutch website themepark.nl said to have ridden it yesterday (guests) and I've seen a picture, showing a full train. (picture below)
Others are saying that the ride isn't open yet.

Media days/soft openings maybe?
