This looping coaster is Gerstlauer´s second delivery of the Euro-Fighter model after the very successfull premiere of Vild Svinet in BonBon Land, Denmark. Unlike this coaster the one at Bobbejaanland will have a very compact layout, offering the furious first drop as well as four inversions. The adrenaline rush starts when the car leaves the station themed in space style, climbing up the impressive vertical lift and going down the 97-degree drop before it negotiates a vertical loop and three heartline-rolls. More information and pictures about Vild Svinet can be found here! Please note that this article is German only.

In the upcoming off-season many coaster enthusiasts will have a closer look at the Belgian Bobbejaanland, where Typhoon will be one of 2004´s most spectacular novelties.
 
Coastersandmore.de will exclusively portrait the works with a series of articles - From the first idea to the grand opening.

Jacky Schoepen, junior director of Bobbejaanland, was looking for an adequate successor for his 24 year old Schwarzkopf Looping Star for quite a while.
He wanted another looping coaster, but it should be something special.
On a tradeshow he saw a model at the booth of the German company Gerstlauer, and the concept with its special kick directly appealed to him: Single cars climb a tower-like structure, pass the top and dive down in an angle of 97 degrees - steeper than vertical!

 Then you will ride through a 'Butterfly', a combination of curves.

The train is now heading to the lake, makes a final turn over the water and then it runs into magnetic brakes.

The Junior Coaster will be situated along the lake, close to “Kinderland”.

Det är inte bara 2 nya Roller Coasters som Bobbejaanland öppnar 2004

Det blir en Jätte Frisbee också ifrån Huss, en likadan öppnade i Paramount King Island 2003

Det verkar som 2004 är rätt år att besöka Bobbejaanland

Air Race
This suspended coaster looks really impressive. Its scaffoldings are put up in a lake. The Airrace is situated at the North of the park, past the cowboy village.

Riding the coaster gives a nice overview of Bobbejaanland.
 
Onces boarded, its a hit. For the kick-lovers, it might be a soft attraction, others consider it to be a nice experience.

The ride runs smoothly, even when the airplaines sway, as all happens quite controlled.
