MK Themed Attractions to re-theme Walibi Holland’s Speedzone area, which is due to open in May 2020. The re-theming of the zone follows MK Attraction’s successful renovation of the theme park’s Untamed and Wilderness area.

The re-theming of the zones is part of an extensive refurbishment planned for the theme park. The Speedzone area will have two entrances. At one entrance gate is a steel structure featuring gears and a blue Volkswagen at the top. The second entrance is to resemble the arch of a racetrack with white body stripes.

MK Themed Attraction is working with Theming Engineers to secure the production of the gate. The two companies have worked together previously on the engineering of the large-scale tiger heads for the Tigeren attraction at Durs Sommerland.

As well as the new entrances, there will be a number of themed surprises for the zone’s Space Shot and G-Force attractions, as well as the mega coaster, Goliath.

Wiebe Damstra, project manager at Walibi Holland, praised the work MK Attractions did previously at the park: “For Untamed MK Themed Attractions did an outstanding job, so we believe they will be the correct main themed partner for this upgrade of our park as well, said Damstra.

René Hansen, Managing Director at MK Themed Attractions, commented: “It’s very exciting for us to expand the work we are doing at Walibi Holland to include yet another re-themed area of the park.

“This new re-theme of the park requires skills that are not just related to quality fiberglass production, which is very interesting for us, as we work with all kinds of material, and through this project we get to show our skills in that,” Hansen added.
