Bobbejaanland
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Mississipiboot was a boat ride in Bobbejaanland on the big lake in the middle of the park. The boat was themed to a classic mississipi boat. It opened in 1985 and closed after the 2000 season. It was in the park for 8 years, but not operational. They finally sold the boat in 2008, it is now a liveable boat.
The ride took 20 minutes, and so was one of the longest rides in the park. On the boat was place for 150 visitors. The capacity of the ride was 500 - 750 per hour, not very big. The boat was worth 250.000 euros. The reason for removing is unknown, but with the low capacity, the long riding time should probably be one of the reasons.
