Project limitation
Unusual about this project was the minimum budget limit used to create a maximum experience and the already existing location it needed to be fitted into. The entire attraction was themed into an ancient warehouse with technical elements to enhance this. Synchronisation between the moving elevators and audio visual effects were programmed with a show controller for maximum efficiency.

Land of Legends
Land of Legends is a unique new themed area at Bobbejaanland with a completely new coaster, yet it is also an upgrade of some existing rides to the current thematic standards within the European theme park industry. The area shows the potential of taking a birdseye view and think outside the scope of the new ride itself and then explore the possibility to upgrade other rides in the park as well, in order to create a brand new themed area. Having worked with Movie Park before on ‘Walking Dead®: Breakout’ and ‘Excalibur: Secrets of the Dark Forest’, we were asked to help with the redevelopment of a distant corner in Nickland.
