Toverland are also this year renaming their Vekoma family coaster 'Boomerang' to 'Toos-Express'.

Is that Dutch for Toes Express?

Is that Dutch for Toes Express?

According to Bing Translate, it is Dutch for Rajesh-Express.

According to Google Translate, it is Dutch for Rajesh-Express.

Interesting name. Thanks @ATI!

What are you on, @ATI? Bonkers.

Why?

 

[Hixee]

Why?

A) Toos-Express does not translate to Rajesh Express on Google Translate:

B) Rajesh Express?

There's no harm in critically analysing your own posts, from time to time.

According to Wikipedia, 'Toos' is a femenine Dutch hypocorism(pet/calling name) for Catharina and Anatonia.

An English equivalent would be something like Jess Express or Kate Express.

Kate, Rajesh... tomayto, tomahto

Hahaha. Wow. The Toos are a fictional race in Toverland. This coaster is the Land of the Toos themed area/warehouse, hence the name.

That makes a lot more sense. Thank you @CSLKennyNI !

Ya, I saw it on RCDB at the bottom of the page.

Toos-Express is named after the mascot 'Toos Toverhoed' (Dutch for 'Toos Magic Hat/Sorcerer's Hat'). Toos is one of the initial park mascots and storywise the daughter of a sorcerer and a witch. The first and original hall of Toverland is dedicated to Toos, her family and friends and is called 'Land van Toos' (Dutch for 'Land of Toos').

Wait, it's not themed to India? You learn something new every day...

I just realized, I actually used Bing translate. That probably explains it.

If in doubt, always use Google.

Actually, the Toos part in Toos-express refers to their mascot Toos Toverhoed (Toos Magic hat). Toos is just a dutch female name.
The hall in which this coaster is located is called Land van Toos (Land of Toos).
