HELP

Sprookjesvaart was a Scenic Boat Ride located at Anna's Hoeve in Hilversum, North Holland, Netherlands. It had a concrete trough which still exists today. A roller coaster, opened in the 1960s, passed over this ride. This was replaced with a more modern coaster in the 1970s.

Etymology

Sprookjesvaart is dutch for "Fairy tale sailing"

Design

The ride originally used wooden boats with a particular shape, making them look like coffins, this was probably not intended [1]

The ride later used Log Flume boats, despite having no drops.[2]

Theme

The ride was loosely themed to fairy tales, with garden gnomes and miniature castles scattered around the trough.
