Bobbejaanland
____________________________________________________________________________________________
The Old Timers was a car ride in Bobbejaanland. It was located to where El Rio is nowadays. The ride opened in 1978, and was built by Gebruder Ihle. In 1983 the ride received new theming with dinosaurs. After the ride closed in 1999 the theming moved to the time tunnel.
The cars were painted in blue, red or green. And had an emblem of Ford on it. The ride was not very long, and not heavily themed. However, it had a nice and simple station, and the ride was in fact enclosed since the cars had a roof.

 Did you know:
That the ride had a pretty boring layout? When leaving the station, the ride would turn immediately to the left. After a few dinosaurs it made a turn back to the station. When near the station, the track would turn back to the other side. After a few dinosaurs, it went again back to the station to end the ride.

This ride was simply themed. Most of the theming were the dinosaurs. The station was a simple wooden lodge.

- Disordering of attraction
This attraction was actually one without any serious problems, but sometimes it didn't work well.
