Toverland is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its popular Wunderwald themed area. Since its opening in 2004, Wunderwald has continually evolved, offering numerous attractions and experiences for the whole family.
Historical Development of Wunderwald
The Wunderwald themed area, originally known as Magic Forest, was opened in 2004 as the second indoor attraction at Toverland. About six years later, the Magic Forest was renamed Wunderwald to offer an even more magical experience. This continuous development is reflected in the many changes and expansions that have consistently renewed the Wunderwald experience.
Main Attractions and Their Changes
Expedition Zork
The Expedition Zork water ride features an exciting 15-meter drop and a unique backward ride. In 2022, the ride was completely overhauled and re-themed to provide visitors with an even more thrilling adventure.
Maximus' Blitz Bahn
The Maximus' Blitz Bahn bobsled ride is another main attraction in Wunderwald. This ride is characterized by electric bobsleds and a themed queue area. Originally outdoors, it was later covered to ensure a great experience in any weather.
Booster Bike
The Booster Bike roller coaster, which opened in 2004, is the world's first motorbike roller coaster and offers a unique riding sensation. This attraction is a highlight for all adrenaline junkies and motorcycle enthusiasts.
