Bobbejaanland theme park in Lichtaart, Belgium, has officially opened its latest attraction, The Forbidden Caves.

This new, immersive tunnel attraction takes visitors on an underground caving expedition in the rainforests of Khyonesia in South East Asia.  

Developed by Holovis, in partnership with S78 and Rocas & Design, the $5.6m attraction is the first of its kind in the Benelux region.

"The ride has powerful theming, which you can not only notice from the sensation during the ride itself," said Bobbejaanland manager Roland Kleve.

"From the moment they join the queue, visitors are immersed in the world of Jasper DuBois, the main character in The Forbidden Caves."
