Desperados (ride)
Desperados is a collective amusement ride developed by Alterface. It presents itself as an interactive theater with a Western theme. Principle 10 to 60 riders step on their individual horses and pick up their six-shooters. All riders play together on the same large video screen but everyone receives an individual score and every horse moves differently according to how good its rider plays. Both the best and worst riders are acknowledged by the system via Doc, the 3D character animating the show.

Bobbejaanland
Bobbejaanland is a theme park in Lichtaart, Belgium. The park was founded by Bobbejaan Schoepen, a Flemish singer, guitarist, and entertainer who enjoyed international success in the fifties and early sixties. In 1959, he bought a 30 hectare marsh, had it drained and built a 1,000 capacity venue that opened in December 1961 as Bobbejaanland. This developed into an amusement park and remained in his possession until he sold it in 2004. History For its first decade after opening the park centered on water attractions and performance spaces. Numerous variety artists from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany appeared there. Following the advice of Phantasialand owner Gottlieb Löffelhard, Bobbejaanland evolved from 1975 onwards into a theme park, with rides becoming more important than music shows. It grew to fifty attractions with four hundred employees and received visitors from the Benelux countries, France, and Germany. As an independent family concern, it also supported educati ...
