Sprookjesbos was one of the first rides of the park. It was a little and simple fairytale area. When you say in The Netherlands ''Sprookjesbos'' Almost everyone refers you to another themepark: Efteling. But when you ask older people about a ''Sprookjesbos'' near Hellendoorn they know what you mean. The ride contained different fairy tales: Dwarves, cinderella, a giant, the frog prince, little red riding hood.
It was a fairly simple fairytale ride. It wasn't as beautiful as the ones in other parks, but it definetly helped the park to become successfull. It was nicely located, and we think that if the park would start over again with this ride, they surely can built nice things.
