After 38 years, Bobbejaanland bids farewell to its beloved family attraction, Koggemolen. Constructed in 1985 by Mack Rides, this ride is now slated for demolition.

History and Background of the Koggemolen

Since its inception in 1985 as part of the Wondergarden area in Bobbejaanland, located opposite the large Kettingmolen, Koggemolen has been a piece of the park's history. Originally introduced as Kogge Carrousel, the attraction underwent a transformation over the years with the addition of a canopy, giving it a new appearance.

Reasons for the Upcoming Demolition

The primary reason for the decision to remove Koggemolen stems from the increasing difficulties and rising costs associated with procuring replacement parts. The ongoing maintenance of the attraction has become a financial and logistical challenge, leading to the decision to decommission it.

Reactions to the Decision

Reactions to the announcement of the demolition were most visibly marked by the removal of the attraction's page from the official Bobbejaanland website. This action symbolizes the imminent end of an era and has undoubtedly evoked nostalgic feelings among regular visitors and fans.

Conclusion

The demolition of Koggemolen is a significant event for Bobbejaanland, altering not just the physical landscape of the park, but also concluding a chapter of its history. As Koggemolen makes way for new developments, it will continue to live on in the memories of many visitors.
