Bobbejaanland Starts New Season with “Terra Magma” and Newly Decorated Candy Shop
Terra Magma
Like many other European amusement and theme parks, the Belgian leisure park Bobbejaanland, part of the Spanish Parques Reunidos group, will start into its new season next Saturday, 1st April. Five million euros have been invested in various renovation, maintenance and refurbishment projects at the park, which were implemented this winter during the off-season. These include the new theming of the Intamin indoor log flume ride known to guests as “Indiana River”, which closed its doors for this purpose at the end of November 2022 and will reopen in May as “Terra Magma”. While the track of the more than 30-year-old ride has been retained, the name of the iconic attraction and its design/theming are new. In the future, passengers will embark on an exciting ride through the heart of a volcano. The park was supported in this project by the Belgian company KCC Entertainment, which was involved from the initial concept development to the realization.
Candy-Shop
The popular Candy Shop at the front of the park has also been given a facelift this winter. It is now larger and has been fitted with new decorative elements. A complete makeover was also given to the park’s event spaces, which are known as the “Saloon”. As of this season, the Saloon and the associated “Music Hall” can once again be used to their full extent as venues for shows, events and B2B events.
Last but not least, the digitalization of the visitor experience in the park was also enhanced – in the 2023 season, digital display boards will be found in the park for the first time, providing visitors with helpful information on waiting times and displaying the park map and various promotions. In addition, the visitor parking area has also been modernized and is now equipped with new security cameras, parking ticket machines and digital signage, among other things. (eap)
