Bobbejaanland is a family theme park located in the midst of the fens and woods of the green Kempen. The park was named after the country and western entertainer Bobbejaan Schoepen, who set up the park in 1961 as a place to perform after he grew tired of touring the world. Bobbejaanland has more than 50 dry and wet attractions including some amazing roller coasters like the new attraction Typhoon, the El Rio, Locomotion, Bob Express and the spectacular Thrillenium Ride. For the younger kids the parks has a fairytale ride through ‘Kinderland.’
