Partner Case - Sprookjes Wonderland

Sprookjes Wonderland in Enkhuizen is a family-owned park with a strong focus on charm, storytelling and immersion. One of its standout additions is a wave boat ride themed around Jack and the Beanstalk, realised in close collaboration with partner Wooddesign Amusement Rides.

The ride shows how a well-known ride format can be fully integrated into a themed park environment. Large-scale structures, natural materials and detailed storytelling elements come together in a calm, family-friendly experience. What makes the ride particularly special is the layering: visitors who take the time to look around will notice small surprises and hidden features that deepen the story.

It’s the perfect example of how even an off-the-shelf ride can become a unique, park-specific attraction, when it’s carefully adapted to its surroundings.

Partner Case - Cruiseship Carousels

Before our collaboration began, our partner Wood Design supplied custom-built carousels to a major international cruise line. These rides were fully adapted to meet the specific demands of maritime operation, including strict safety regulations, material standards, and space limitations on board. The result: a classic attraction reimagined for life at sea.

Each carousel features unique theming and compact engineering, making it a standout visual element within the ship’s leisure offering. This case demonstrates how traditional amusement concepts can be successfully adapted for non-traditional environments, from cruise ships to resorts and indoor venues.

Vught, Netherlands, 15th of July 2025 – Wooddesign Amusement Rides, the Dutch ride manufacturer specialized in handcrafted carousels and family attractions, is entering a new phase of international growth with the support of RP Rides. As of this summer, RP Rides will represent Wooddesign Amusement Rides as a commercial partner, focusing on international business development and expanding the company’s global visibility.

Wooddesign Amusement Rides is known for its outstanding craftsmanship, custom theming, and durable family attractions. With over 35 years of experience in traditional woodworking for the amusement industry, the family-owned company delivers attractions for theme parks, zoos, and cruise lines worldwide.

A partnership built over time

RP Rides will act as Wooddesign’s international business development partner, supporting their ambition to grow sustainably in new markets. The collaboration builds on a long-standing relationship between Wooddesign’s owner, Johan Vermolen, and Romee from RP Rides, who met at the Euro Attractions Show in Berlin in 2012. During Romee’s time at Attractiepark Toverland, she experienced Wooddesign’s quality firsthand while working with their Wave Swinger.

Authentic craftsmanship

As a family business, we value quality, reliability, and long-term relationships,” Says Robbert Dekkers, CEO of Wooddesign Amusement Rides. Romee knows our work and speaks the language of the industry. With her support, we aim to increase our international visibility and reach new markets.

Adding Family Rides to our portfolio has been a long-standing ambition,” says Romee Popelier, owner of RP Rides. “But we’ve always been selective, we didn’t want to compromise on quality. With Wooddesign, we’ve found a partner who delivers authentic craftsmanship, real value, and a product range that completes our existing ride offering.

This partnership brings together two Dutch companies with shared values and a clear fit in expertise, focusing on delivering high-quality, handcrafted family rides and reliable support to the global leisure industry.
