Bobbejaanland shares designs for winter opening, partly made with AI
Bobbejaanland shared concept images for its first winter opening in 2025, partly created with AI. Bobbejaanland Wintert featured six winter zones, an ice rink, shows and a ride line-up with several water and children’s attractions closed.
More context
Bobbejaanland offered a more detailed look at its first-ever winter opening in August 2025. Bobbejaanland Wintert was planned for December and January and would divide the park into six winter areas: A Winter Welcome, Land of Fire & Ice, Snow Valley, Santa City, Glacier Bay and Lake of Frost. One striking detail was that part of the published concept imagery had been created with AI, giving the announcement a distinctly modern edge.
The plans were meant to place the park in a different seasonal role. On the entrance square, mascots Bobbie and Jody would appear in winter outfits. Land of Legends, with Fury as its headline ride, became Land of Fire & Ice and would host a fire and light spectacle near the coaster. Adventure Valley turned into Snow Valley, Desperado City became Santa City with a Winter Circus, Mystery Bay continued as Glacier Bay with the Ice Slide tubing attraction, and the park’s lake would become an ice rink called Lake of Frost.
At the same time, Bobbejaanland made clear that winter opening required choices. Wondergarden stayed closed, as did El Rio, Big Bang, Naiads Waters, Terra Magma, Wild Water Slide, Glijbaan, Monorail and Oki Doki. For guests, this was therefore not a full summer day in winter decoration, but a new seasonal product built around atmosphere, shows and an adapted ride line-up.
