The story of Troy
Troy was the long-held ambition of Toverland owner Jean Gelissen. Park World recorded the story as a dream that had waited while the young park first opened its indoor beginning in 2001 and added its Magic Forest three years later. parkworld-online.com
When the time came to build, Toverland looked abroad, riding wooden coasters in America and Europe before choosing Great Coasters International. The resulting ride became a landmark for the park and one of GCI’s largest constructions of the period. parkworld-online.com
The setting mattered. Toverland described the surrounding woods and fields as part of the new outdoor direction, and Troy became the first great timber statement in that landscape beside the park’s halls. parkworld-online.com· toverland.com
Since opening in 2007, Troy has remained in operation at Toverland, carrying visitors through a 31.9-metre wooden course at 87 km/h, without inversions, and with a listed hourly capacity of 850 riders. coasterpedia.net· en.wikipedia.org
