Bobbejaanland
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Helicopter molen was a small kiddy ride. It opened in 1979. After the 1995 season the ride has been sold to a french park. Parc Bagatelle. However, it is unknown how the ride was called there, and how long it operated there, since it is at this moment not in the park anymore.
The ride was a very simple funfair ride, it even didn't get a facelift in Bobbejaanland. The heli's were just the standard color as on the fun fairs. The ride wasn't themed, only the fact that there were heli's in different colors and that it had some simple, but nice fences around it was the only shape of theming in the ride.

Did you know:
That also the location of the ride is unknown? We don't have any good quality park maps of that period, but one the ones we can see, we'll guess it was in between of Revolution and Condor.
- Popularity Attraction
This attraction was not popular, it was an ugly ride when compared to other rides in the park, and it was for the smallest kids, which had already other better rides. So they decided to sell it to an other park who could use it better.
- Waiting Times
The waiting times were almost always under the 5 minutes.
- Theming attraction
This attraction was not really themed, there were some simply painted helicopters with a strange shape in the middle of the ride as decoration. The fences around it were painted white and red with a little ornament.
- Riding Time
The riding time was probably 3 minutes, like most flatrides.
- Disordering of attraction
This attraction was always open. Since it was a simple and proven ride concept issues were never very long.
