The park was established by Belgian folk singer and entertainer Bobbejaan Schoepen, who performed at the site during its early years.
The 'Revolution' roller coaster holds the record for one of the longest indoor roller coaster tracks in the world at 1,365 meters.
Before becoming a permanent theme park, the location originally served as a music hall and entertainment venue for Schoepen's variety shows.
The 'Fury' coaster utilizes a triple-launch system that allows riders to experience both forward and backward motion on the same track.
The park's mascot is a cowboy character named 'Bobbie', reflecting the original country-western theme of the venue.
Many of the park's attractions utilize the site's natural greenery and existing lake, rather than relying solely on concrete-heavy infrastructure.
