With big new things on the horizon, it’s fun to look back, like I did here:

The evolution of the Toverland skyline in just a single decade! 😍 I have started at the park in 2011 and had the honor to be involved in every project ever since, like the complete transformation of the former "Backstroke" log flume into "Expedition Zork".

We have announced that our beloved Maximus’ Blitz Bahn gets a new, third(!) chapter. I had the pleasure to give the former Woudracer a complete overhaul in 2014-15 to Maximus’ Blitz Bahn, with the introduction of the great inventor Maximus Müller! Somehow, he feels familiar… 😅
Attractiepark Toverland@toverland
De Maximus' Blitz Bahn gaat plaatsmaken voor een nieuwe uitvinding: de swinging bobsled. 🤩✏️ De eerste ter wereld. Dit combineert het beste van de Blitz Bahn met nóg speelser bochtenwerk. 💯 Samen nemen we afscheid op 17 mei. ➡️ Meer weten: toverland.com/neueblitzbahn #Toverland

Hoe kun je je jaar nu lekkerder beginnen, dan met een oliebol? 🤩 Daarom gingen we langs bij al onze collega's! En misschien komen we nog wel iets te weten. 😏 #Toverland #happynewyear

@HomerPavlos @TheCinesthetic The importance and massive scale of the Invasion of Russia was rushed too, sadly.
English
This is Ridley's movie and it was garbage. It portrays Napoleon as a madman, it doesn't mention at all his studies or his childhood years in Corsica where he hung out with the Stephanopoulos family, the Maniot family of Greeks descended from the Byzantine family of the Komnenos dynasty, nor his admiration for Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. Yet another idiotic biographical film whose purpose was to distort history about an important European figure. In short, Marxism put its hand in it again.
English
Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon is the greatest film never made. He spent years researching, built a massive card index of Napoleon’s life, scouted locations, and planned to use tens of thousands of real soldiers as extras. Studio fear after Waterloo killed it.

What "never got made" movie did the world miss out on the most?

It’s sad to end the year 2025 with the loss of this Imagineering giant. His vision will live forever in the best traditional entrance Disney has ever created! 🥹

Growing up with the incredible beauty of “Euro Disney”, I never knew I would meet the imagineer behind the most sophisticated entrance ever, Eddie Sotto @boss_angeles, one day! So awesome! 🥹 #IAAPAExpo

@Karasaph Or, as Walt Disney once said: “It's kind of fun to do the impossible”! 😇

One of the hidden gems of Walt Disney World! It was such a calm and relaxing environment and experience. And freezing cold! 😅 So sad it’s gone forever. 🥹

We loved how unique Shark Reef (at Typhoon Lagoon) was, plus there was no upcharge for it! Could you imagine that today? But why does no one remember how FREEZING COLD it was!?

The capsized boat was not only incredible theming but housed the underwater viewing area. Such a clever solution to stay within the theme.

@Parkeology As a former Typhoon Lagoon lifeguard, I do! We had a wetsuit on and needed a hot shower afterwards to warm up! Then you had your break. But it was a very special place, I loved it and I really miss the Shark Reef. Now it’s just a collection of chairs… 🥹

@PaulAnleitner Because the biggest star of the movie is the world itself, Pandora, not the characters, not the story?! People all over the world just want te experience the magic and beauty of the landscapes.
English
Despite having the biggest box office numbers of all time, the Avatar franchise has had almost no cultural impact compared to Marvel, Star Wars, etc.
It’s very strange.
Why is that? Give me your best explanations.

Can’t wait to return to Pandora after visiting Pandora last summer at @WaltDisneyWorld 😍

James Cameron’s AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH is a phenomenal moviegoing experience. It’s the biggest of the three — action-packed, visually jaw-dropping and rich with themes of family, legacy and survival. The way it weaves fire, water, air and land into every nook and cranny of the film is kind of remarkable. This is pure blockbuster filmmaking at its finest. I love the way it brings all three films together in a story that finds the Sully family fighting to define what kind of family they truly want to be. It’s about who you believe in more than what you believe in. And while it definitely feels like a conclusion to a trilogy, it also leaves the door open for future adventures. It’s a confident, emotional close that highlights everything James Cameron does best — scale, heart and sheer cinematic ambition.
