My first and not last visit to the Attractiepark Toverland (Themepark Toverland) in Sevenum in the Dutch province Limburg.

Toverland
Attractiepark Toverland (English: Magicland Amusement Park) is an amusement park in Sevenum, Netherlands. The park was founded in 2001 and is operated by Gelissen Group. It is one of the youngest theme parks in the Netherlands. Toverland opened on May 19, 2001 as an indoor playground and has since grown into a medium-sized theme park with a growing surface area and an increasing number of visitors. In the past ten years, the amusement park has received various prizes for the best amusement parks.

The idea for the realization of Amusement Park Toverland originated in the Steinerbos during a rain shower. The owner Jean Gelissen, former carpenter, visited this recreation area with his children. In the afternoon it suddenly started to rain and the visitors left. That was when Gelissen came up with the idea to realize an indoor amusement park.
Amusement park Toverland opened as an indoor amusement park with various attractions, especially aimed at young children.
The first expansion took place in 2004 three years after its opening. It consisted of a second indoor section under the name Magic Forest, the current theme area Wunder Wald. The theme area consisted of six attractions including: Forest Racer, Backstroke and Villa Fiasco. July 27, 2004, the Booster Bike opened as the first attraction to be completely outdoors.
The management of the amusement park thought about which direction they wanted to go with the amusement park. Opening a third indoor hall was considered a serious option. Ultimately, it was decided to become an amusement park for all ages and not to continue as an indoor playground. The first step to achieve this goal was the construction of the wooden roller coaster Troy in the new theme area Troy-Area.
In 2017, the management announced that the theme park was going to expand again. It was the largest expansion ever, making the park half the size. The innovations costing € 35 million consisted of: the theme area Avalon consisting of the roller coaster Fēnix and cruise Merlin's Quest, a new entrance zone under the name of Port Laguna and the expansion of the parking capacity. On July 7, 2018, all extensions were opened simultaneously.
