Coastin' Thru Europe Episode 23: TOVERLAND

[@jordandollar4141]

I need you to start another trip so that these videos never end...

[@EmberMcLain87]

I think they are doing a small Scandinavian trip pretty soon. Or some small trip over seas, and it's 4 parks they're visiting

[@noieboii]

@@EmberMcLain87 great! I’m so excited

[@edvaira6891]

Yeah, impressive they’re still getting mileage out of this five months in!

[@detroitdiezel7856]

I know! Right?

[@frontrowviews]

3:30 Boosterbike actually was THE prototype of the motorbike coaster. The Vekoma Factory is only a couple of kilometers away

[@HansTheGeek]

Everything is just a few kilometers away in the Netherlands 😅

[@HaroldKuilman]

@@HansTheGeek and somehow, 50% of the people in the Netherlands think that Groningen is on the other side of our planet 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@_bigblind]

​@@HansTheGeek Nah, you're confusing the Netherlands with Belgium. (Sorry Luxembourg, I forgot my magnifying glass).

[@UwePieper]

And if I'm not mistaken it can operate only on one train. The park has another train but that's only to reduce the downtime as it's supposed to be open close to all year around.

[@HansTheGeek]

@@_bigblind In Belgium everything is just around the corner. 🤭

[@nicoleacosta5545]

Best theme park series of all time! I wake up each morning hoping you will post a new vlog. August is your best guest ever; he is insightful, respectful and very sweet. Thank you for the amazing content!

[@slaynan]

These are literally the videos I’m most excited to watch on YT when they come out

[@RaiderNation84]

It was awesome meeting you and Sarah at Fury on Saturday! Hope to see you at Carowinds again soon. Hope it wasn’t weird that I only had one quick queue to give Sarah for her birthday and not enough for your group.

[@CoasterStudios]

thank you so much! And all good- the gesture was very much appreciated :)

[@RaiderNation84]

Awesome. And like I said at Fury- F cancel culture, and thanks for all the years of content and helping me rediscover my interest in roller coasters.

[@rhysdavies9684]

Love this series, can't get enough of it! I love your channel!

[@NiekNooijens]

This is actually my homepark and whilst I hear second handedly it can sometimes get crowded, I never experienced it myself. Somehow I always pick a Sunday on which it's 30+°C outside (= hot!) and literally nobody's there! Best to do on a hot day is to stand in expedition zork's splash zone or go under the waterfall of djengu river, make sure to get completely soaked, and then ride Fenix. The warm wind it generates makes the water evaporate, which cools you down big time!

[@sdaniel9129]

Totally right!! Whoohoo!!!

[@nickbuning9263]

Probably because the main audience of Toverland is kids. I could imagine that going to a theme park with a group of kids is very ethausting for the parents, espacially when Its hot in the netherlands haha.

[@matjesghg9075]

It's my home park too and the last three times that I have been it's was empty. Everything except Boosterbike (which had a 30 minute line) was a near walkthrough. So I marathoned Fēnix like 9 or 10 times and had a great time!

[@undyinglight1785]

Another great park! Lot of absolute bangers of parks in Europe.

[@underscore_richard]

It was nice meeting you! Enjoy the music discs

[@rmel8139]

These are all SO well done! The fact that on a lot of occasions I decide to watch one of these instead a TV show that costed loads more money to make says a lot. I love how before you leave a country at the end you have a small montage and thank the country. Such a great touch!

[@ThemeParkFamilyUK]

A park i have never been too but looking forward to visiting for the first time in early November. This park has grown so much from when i first heard of it. Looks amazing for families

[@joopdeschaapheffer]

Just saw myself walking I to the tunnel at the entrance of fenix 10.44 ... if I would only k we you walking behind me...😂😂

[@singlerailindustries1763]

Booster Bike Is Actually The World's First Vekoma Motor Bike Coaster Ever Opened. So It's The Original Prototype :)

[@DJWezzyK]

Troy is getting a re-track of sections every year so some sections run smoother then others, but it is getting sections re-tracked every winter.

[@timdruyts5025]

Yeah, one of the best maintained wooden coasters in the world. it's just because the hot weather.

[@joecandish3923]

Should it get titan track added at some point to smooth it out

[@DJWezzyK]

@@joecandish3923 No. It was just extremely hot last summer.

[@joecandish3923]

@@DJWezzyK I see still an excellent woodie in fact its my second favourite woodie just behind El toro

[@DJWezzyK]

@@joecandish3923 Joris en de Draak is getting Titan track, cause Skyline designs has created a design flaw after the double up.

[@ThemeParksAndAttractions]

Love Toverland - my favourite fun park in Europe - not the biggest but I always have the most fun here 😀

[@michael7054]

Great video! This was a very nice theme park! I liked the log flume and water rides a lot!

[@CoasterGuy719]

I love this park. I went to this for the first time during may break this year. Luckily the park was extremely empty because it was cloudy and a little bit of rain. I loved Fēnix so much that I went on it 8 times in a row and once I then decided that it was enough I could feel my feet constantly tickeling due to the amount of blood that was in them. But generally the theming of this park is so well done. Especially the new are they just added. I havent been there in person yet but I have seen it during construction and its so awesome how they added a Sky fly in the Helix of Fēnix its so awesome.

[@maxhagenauer24]

What a fantastic collection of fun at this place.

[@HaroldKuilman]

Fun fact, literally 2 days ago booster bike didn't make it back to the station because it was too Cold 🥶 what a contrast with the day you where there

[@u-q-6236]

I've ridden Troy this fall and I didn't mind the roughness actually thought it was the perfect amount, just what I want from a wooden coaster, proper shaking but not painful in any way. My second favourite woodie after Colossos.

[@cantinadudes]

Kinda same. Yeah its rough but thats kinda the fun of it. The fact that it feels so raw makes it unique (aside from being out of wood) and i feel like tsking that away kinda takes away some of what makes it special. Well maybe i'm just a bit too hardened off when it comes to wooden coasters since my home park is movie park in germany and their wooden coaster is... really painful. Like if Troy was rocky, Movie parks wooden coaster would be straight up norwegian black metal from the 80's and 90's. The first time i rode it, i'm 99% convinced the car i was in actually broke because it made such weird sounds and the ride was closed for the day after i got off. I really felt like it was just a disguised torture device. Troy is butter smooth in comparision

[@CaptainAlbatross]

We actually visit themeparks on hot days on purpose. It's delightfully quiet on those days, and even though it's handy to keep a bottle of deodorant in your bag we always have great days. Last week I was in Toverland as well and had almost the same experience. Fenix, Troy and Dwervelwind were walk-ons all through the day and we've never been in line for more than 15 minutes. Mind you, that was absolute high-season in the middle of school holidays. We had the same experiences at Efteling (although a bit more crowded) and Movie Park Germany. Completely agree on Troy, I remember it as being smooth 10 years ago but jeez, I was thrown around a lot. Not much fun. Retrack or RMC it please.

[@mitchel4361]

Shots fired at my favorite and only wing coaster I've ridden..

[@RGamePlayXtreme]

My homepark! Saw Boosterbike valley during a test run with ride ops on my last visit last Sunday, right when I was explaining the concept of valleying to my uncle. The timing made it hilarious

[@galliumg8483]

Went to six flags fiesta Texas when it was 114 degrees over the summer and omg, you wanna ride the coasters wind but the wind is like looking over a boiling pot.

[@frontrowviews]

The best themepark in Europe, period.

[@Mark-Mark-Mark-Mark]

welllllllll thats a long strech

[@frontrowviews]

@@Mark-Mark-Mark-Mark I know lol but I really really love the park

[@ryanleeuwis1602]

Great park but not the best

[@Derangedlefty]

You’re entitled to your own opinion

[@TTHBLOX_]

My local park! Fantastic to see a fresh look at it

[@Sonderax]

Most beautiful wing coaster ITW. You cant change my mind

[@SamuelGuillory-n1c]

I love the fact that Troy and dwervelwind have like a 5 min queue normally the Troy should not be empty

[@jo0114]

love your vids

[@matjesghg9075]

Finally... My home park!

[@coastergraphs1547]

7:30 they retrack a part of troy every year. Its was this rough because of the heat. The wheels are like standing at a 10 degrees angel on the track because of the tempertures. its an older GCI and its not the smoothest but its also far away from unbarable imo.

[@Nikx-youtube]

Theres a good picture showing their expansion plans. In my opinion, seen the location of Toverland and the people running it. I can totally see this having surpassed Efteling in 15 years competing with Europa Park

[@goldentapes]

I'm sorry you had to endure that kind of heat but it sure did make for some funny bits in the vlog :D

[@jonaplay1177]

8:36 those fries are called a ''patatje oorlog'' which translates to fries war.

[@wayne_jkl]

@2:56 This is the funniest moment I've seen in a long time! 😂😂My heart's out to Matt tho 😊

[@NathanHydra]

Honestly the roughness on Troy adds to the ride for me. I was there in the fall on a pretty warm day and it was running like hell. The roughness doesn’t hurt me at all, it just shakes me a lot, which I don’t mind. It just makes it more intense

[@kateorourke6390]

Matt,.your gru impression was awesome!

[@walzwerkzwerg]

Off-Topic: That actually reminded me that you also can get pieces of the old Colossos track in Heide-Park. Why didn't you visit Heide Park? On Topic: Toverland is such a lovely place. Hope they build a couple more coasters after the new flat rides that are coming. We had like 25 cars parked there when we went last September .. so we literally tried every seat on Fenix.

[@DjRola]

Its funny that its hot on the vid when its like 2 degrees celsius rn, with rain ofc bc why not.

[@CamAndrrews]

4:41 I thought the boat started to float for a second 😂

[@nickbuning9263]

Fun fact about Toverland. When I joined 30 min of the Troy 24 hour challenge in pitch dark 03:00 am. I was screaming shut down the trim brakes. An employee responded to me well, if you look good you wont see any trim brakes. Long story short: Toverland doesnt have any noticeable trim brakes. Pretty cool 😎

[@GregPollogollo]

I was all smiles through the vid like I have been with all of them but then August said goodbye at the end. =(

[@aidenscott7397]

i love how much matt sounds like gru😂😂

[@xcoasterenthusiast]

Taylor, are you going to make a 2023 trip plans video in January like the ones you did pre-pandemic?

[@CoasterStudios]

We are focusing less on overall year wide plans and instead, just big trip plan videos

[@RobloxOlaf]

Whooooo, my fav park

[@TripleTSingt]

from what I understand, booster bike is also the first coaster featuring a hydraulic launch not made by Intamin

[@gemmachaos]

Troy has been running like an absolute demon this year. It's as intense as ever but certainly not smooth! Still, it's no way the worst wooden coaster in a 50 mile radius...

[@jonathanderijk5332]

loved the vlog, love toverland. and they are doing a big expension to avalon with a skyfly in the helix of fenix and 3 more rides, looks awesome on the concept art on there website. did you guys know about that?

[@oceanairboy]

This motorbike coaster at least looks like it has some air time. Tron looks like it's just a bunch of side to side motions.

[@theventuracountyrailfan]

Complaining about 105? How about magic mountain being your homepark in the summer

[@TheBreadthatcausedLesMis]

As someone not used to Farhenheit I had to look up what 105F is in Celsius. Its 40C btw

[@antonytsai6611]

What about coastin through asia

[@Yautja24]

Very good family park. The Wing Coaster (fenix) is my favorite coaster ever. First wing coaster i ever did. Dwervelwind is a good spinning coaster.... Didn't like Troy & Booster Bikes.

[@jtbowman132]

I think wing coasters are the most aesthetically pleasing of any coaster, but Fenix is especially pleasing to look at it. The inversions over the river look amazing 🥹

[@miwer1000]

Booster Bike is the prototype even(and it always has 1 train, can't opperate with 2) First time i was there booster Bike was t back of the park. Troy was under construction (and fell over becouse of strong winds, not even joking) The swinging ship was not there.

[@Fiendstein]

Omg they sent u down backwards ;o

[@Ryan_0708]

Boosterbike.......with short lines???? Well, that's a first😆

[@robincoasterlive]

What font did you use for your thumbnail?

[@Yautja24]

Darn it, I am spent with a one day park visit + a long drive. They visit every park EU... I would like to do it however i hate the long drives. I wonder how much money you guys spend for food/hotel/fuel

[@riks8123]

troy is meant to be a wild beast, we say "troy rijdt op keien" bacause its so rough

What date did you guys go? I work there but seemed to have missed ya

[@maxhagenauer24]

"I saw it so does that mean I technically get the credit?" How much does he say that with water rides?

[@Happymali10]

I HOPE they usually do better with attendance, because all the recent investments and that few visitors....yikes.

[@andrewcleave4935]

I believe B&M ripped off X2 4D spin coaster and made the wing coaster?

[@ryanleeuwis1602]

Boosterbike only has one train

[@thebloodmoonwarrior]

Me and my sister went about 60 times on feniks when there where barel any people and the number is not exaggerating

[@mitchel4361]

Add an extreme spinner to replace gemini

We did some a while back in the day- they just became way too time consuming to do, which is why we haven’t done any in a while
