    History

    The ride system of Droomvlucht was intended to be built by the English company Computerized People Movers (CPM). CPM went bankrupt however, and steel producer BHS and Translift were brought in to produce the ride. Unfortunately, during the first test runs, the engines in the cars were not strong enough to make it up the steep hills in the track. Modifying the cars resulted in the ride not opening in 1992, but in 1993.

    Droomvlucht received a major upgrade in 2013, which mainly focused on technical renovations but also included some new decor.
