On 1 July 2019, Walibi Holland will open the first hybrid roller coaster in Europe.
The present wooden roller coaster Robin Hood is being rebuilt by Rocky Mountain Construction into a roller coaster consisting of a combination of wood and steel.
Until October 2018, guests can still enjoy the current Robin Hood, after which it will be converted into a completely new roller coaster.
The original ride was built by Dutch manufacturer Vekoma and opened in 2000. In September of this year, the first work behind the scenes will start.
With the opening of the new roller coaster, Walibi Holland will open the third new attraction in four years. After the roller coaster Lost Gravity in 2016 and the virtual reality experience NeuroGen in 2017, and Walibi Holland will expand again in 2019 with a new roller coaster.
The opening of the new Robin Hood in 2019 coincides with other renovations in the area of Sherwood Forest. In the coming years, improvements to this part of the park will take place every winter, working on the main street this winter.
