Stichting Jade
Creation of moments to unwind
Together we battle for Stichting Jade. Jade Kops was 14 when she was diagnosed with cancer. Even though she is incurably sick, she remains positive and together with her family founded Stichting Jade. In Villa Jade they receive kindred souls that can escape reality for a moment.
The selected test evening candidates braved the wind and weather to get a taste of what it’s like to sit in a roller coaster for 24 hours. The challenge of the evening? Testing your endurance for two full hours. This will determine the final selection of the 24 participants.

Highest, fastest, and longest of the Benelux
This is your sensational battleground: Rollercoaster Troy
At Toverland you cannot ignore wooden rollercoaster Troy. The gigantic silhouette causing the coaster to be unmissable from the park. The wooden giant stands at a total height of 35 meters and reaches a whopping 90 kilometers an hour through the turns. The track length is in total 1077 meters, which makes the coaster not only the highest and fastest wooden coaster in the Benelux but also the longest. A record we at Toverland are very proud of!
We are organizing the Troy Coaster Challenge for the third time in a row. This time promises to be the grandest variant till now. In 2022 12 challengers battled for Stichting Durf te vragen. Where nearly 358 laps were done. In total, we raised €32.658 euro. Earlier the challenge was organized for Stichting Heppie and Stichting Doe een Wens.
When you enroll to be one challengers for the 24 hours troy Coaster Challenge you are in the race to become one of 24 participants.
After the first selection 48 challengers will be invited to a test night that will take place on Thursday the 24th of April where contestants can experience multiple rides in rollercoaster Troy. The participants will also be briefed on all the details of the challenge and about the how the 24th and 25th of May will proceed. Eventually, from this pool the eventual participants will be chosen.
Participation: how many breaks do you get during the Troy Coaster Challenge?
Every hour, participants will have a 5-minute break for a toilet visit, a drink, and a quick snack. Every 6 hours, there will be a 30-minute break for a more substantial meal.
Participation: Are medical staff present?
The well-being of our participants and staff is, of course, our top priority. To ensure this, several first aiders will be present, constantly monitoring all participants. The main motto is: taking part is more important than completing it, so there is ample room for participants to express their needs.
Donating: How can I support Stichting Jade?
There are several ways to support Stichting Jade:
Buy one of the rides after closing time This allows you to ride for an additional 55 minutes with the participants, offering them some moral support.
Make a donation yourself You can make a donation to Stichting Jade, even when purchasing a ticket for Toverland.
Attraction: is Troy open during the Troy Coaster Challenge?
When we use Troy for the Troy Coaster Challenge on May 24th and 25th, it's still possible to visit the ride. This is because we will be running with two roller coaster trains.
After park closing, it's also possible to ride alongside one of the participants. The donation you make will go entirely to the good cause, Stichting Jade.
