Toverland in the Netherlands has given a preview of what visitors to the amusement park can expect in 2020.

One alteration will be the extension of the opening hours during the summer holiday when the park will remain open until 20:00 hours.

As well as longer opening hours, visitors will be able to enjoy an exciting programme comprising of more events than ever. 12 Midsummer Evenings and 14 Halloween Nights will be held in the park in 2020, eight evenings more than in 2019. On the evenings that these events take place, Toverland will remain open until 23:00 hours.

The summer season will begin earlier than normal, with the theme park opening during the carnival school holiday and the weekends that follow.

In November and December 2020, Toverland will open its doors to the public on the weekends and during the Christmas school holiday.

Jean Gelissen Jr., director general at Toverland, spoke about the new opening times: “We can create more magical moments of happiness by allowing our guests more time to visit us.

“Events that give an extra dimension to our guest’s overall experience. We want the ability to offer yet more guests the opportunity to come and experience this for themselves,” said Gelissen Jr.

Another notable feature of the 2020 season at Toverland is the return of the Youtubers x Toverland event, which is taking place on Sunday May 17, when guests will be able to meet their favourite YouTubers during their visit to the theme park.

Midsummer Evenings are being presented at Toverland in Sevenum, Netherlands, with extra shows, live entertainment and special characters.

These special evenings are running for five Wednesday evenings and five Saturday evenings and will revolve around the park’s annual event known as Midsummer Evenings.

At the end of the ten evenings, a magical firework display will take place.

During Midsummer Evenings, each of the different themed areas in the park are brought to life with its own entertainment.

The park’s entrance, Port Laguna, will greet guests with swinging music, a human statue and a magical caricaturist.

The tales of Merlin are being told at the Legends of Avalon with the famous wizard and troubadours playing their medieval music at the Flaming Feather inn.

‘Stimmung und Spaß’ will fill the Biergarten and memorable firework displays will light up the sky at the wooden rollercoaster Troy.

Visitors are also able to go on various water attractions throughout the evening and embark on a rollercoaster ride at sunset.

A new show called ‘The Battle of Port Laguna’ will be performed at Toverland until August 25. The show involves a battle between good and evil taking place on a stranded ship stage, ending in a 25-metre death dive.

The Midsummer Evenings take place every Wednesday and Saturday from 17 July until 17 August 2019.
