Attractiepark Toverland is an amusement park located in Sevenum, the Netherlands. It first opened in 2001 as an indoor family entertainment centre,[1] operated by the Gelissen Group. Toverland won the European Star Award for the Best Theme Park in 2018.[2] More recently, the park partially rebranded and added new attractions.
Toverland is divided into six themed areas, two of which are situated indoors.
The Land van Toos is the original indoor area of the park. The attractions include the Vekoma Junior Coaster "Toos-Express," crossing through the building. The themed area is characterised by the many children's rides and playgrounds.
Wunder Wald is an indoor area located in the same building as the Land van Toos with a ski theme. The area contains playgrounds, a beer garden, and two attractions - a powered toboggan named "Maximus' Blitz Bahn" and Expedition Zork, a log flume. Between 2015 and 2018 Wunder Wald was rebuilt as a theme area about alpine countries. Before that, Wunder Wald was called Magic Forest and did not have any decoration. The ride Maximus' Blitz Bahn was the first ride in the theme park with a background story and a themed queue.
Ithaka is the original outdoor section of the park, themed to the Ancient Greeks. Ithaka contains three major rides including Troy, a wooden coaster built by Great Coasters International. The area was originally simply named "Troy-Area" in reference to the largest attraction in the area. The area features a replica of the Trojan Horse.
The Magical Valley is themed as a fantasy land populated by 'Dwervels'. Major attractions in the area includes rollercoasters Dwervelwind and Booster Bike, a rapid river attraction, and several restaurants.
Opened in 2018, Port Laguna is the new entrance area of the park. The area is circle-shaped and features a Mediterranean theme. The area features brightly coloured buildings containing shops, drink and food stores, a game gallery and an interactive show. Port Laguna contains no rides. The area was inspired by the entrance of Disney's Animal Kingdom and the theme area Port Entry of Universal's Islands of Adventure, with some notable differences, such as a curved main street.[3]
Avalon is the newest area in the park, opened in 2018. Based on Celtic mythology, the area includes the Bolliger & Mabillard-built wing coaster Fēnix.
