Hi Guys,

As I understand it, there is a park in Belgium that is going to get the first Topple Tower from HUSS. Has there been any more information or updates that anyone knows about, about the new ride?

Thanks in advance,

The information is correct.
The Tower shall be called "El Volador" and be located in the beautiful Ex-Six-Flags-Park Bellewaerde.

Oh man! Those are beautiful shots, that's definately my kind of park!

Anyone know what the status of the project is? I'm so curious about this ride, it looks so relaxing and unique!

Sorry for the double post, but a friend of mine in Belgium just told me that a Topple Tower was built somewhere in Asia in 2004, and it was called Dodobird! Is this true? I am searching but I can't find any information at all about it. S

Has anyone got any ideas, or better yet - photos of the version which opened this year?

In the German "Kirmes und Park Revue" magazine, there was an article about the "Dodo Bird" tower, just a few issues ago. Maybe somebody has got the time to look for that article. I know there was an image with this article, but I don't remember if it was a drawing, a model or even a photo of the real one, and I don't have time to look now. (But maybe I have later).

It will be placed in the mexican part of the park (source) and it is said that the Dancing Queen will be removed for it.

Corny Maybe somebody has got the time to look for that article.

I do.
The article was issued in No. 87 (Oct. 2004), p. 67.
The photo shows a yellow column with a red coloured ring of 40 suspended seats in a toppled position. At the top of the ride is a bird like head and the station seems to be build as a bird's nest.
The given text says it is a ride that is currently (October) constructed for an unnamed Chinese theme park. The opening for that ride called "Dodo Bird" is scheduled to take place in 2005.

Hi, Bas,

thanks for putting up the Huss-Link.
The foto of Dodo in the german Kirmes & Park Revue resembles of course that pic, which is signed "Dodo".

the picture is from Walibi Lorraine

here is the picture of the Topple Tower in Belgium (Bellewaerde Park)

by Bellewaerde Park

My favourite is the Topple Tower in France (Walibi Lorraine) S

The Topple Tower in Belgium is not very good for Mexico, but in France it is very good for the new Jungle

I think they both look spectacular. I would like to travel to Europe some day just for these rides alone! Mechanically, I cannot wait to see the details.

Surely they must have started construction by now?

In Bellewaerde Park they are begin... The park opens March 26th
but in Walibi Lorraine it is a lot of time to April 16th, but I think, they build the theming and the areal now...

Actually, that piece isnt' the counterweight but rather the support turret for the base. That is one hell of a weldment!!

Thanks very much for sharing your find! Great stuff, I can't wait to see it come together!

Another Topple Tower that was produced for the Asian market goes to Zhuhai Ocean Hotspring Resort in China.

No, I think it'll come up with the amount of three so far. I think it is the Dodo-Bird that is erected in the now named Chinese theme park.
I think the word "another" was a little bit misleading.

A friend of mine pointed this out to me, and it's got me totally excited about Tang D'Or and El Volador!

I am wondering if I should figure out how much it would cost to fly to France or Belgium for the weekend... S
