Jungle Expedition: De Vervloekte Schat

Avonturenpark Hellendoorn

Description

In this ride, guests follow two of the park's mascots: Roger Hellendoorn, an explorer, and his parrot Kapitein Geelsnavel. They got lost in the jungle when looking for a Mayan treasure. Via a retrieved spoken logbook, played inside the boats via onboard sound, riders try to retrieve them. The quest brings riders to a cursed Mayan cave where they face a big monster.

The ride consists of a long outdoor boat ride including various outdoor scenes and a cave which houses the Mayan treasure, which encompasses three indoor scenes.

"De Vervloekte Schat" is Dutch for "The Cursed Treasure"

History

Jungle Expedition: De Vervloekte Schat is a refurbished version of the Jungle Monster or Junglevaart that opened in 1979. The ride was refurbished during the winter of 2020 and received an onboard sound system and refurbished scenes. Most notebly, a single indoor scene was split into three different scenes, qualifying this version of the ride as semi-dark ride in the Dark Ride Database.
