Troy is a wooden roller coaster in the Dutch theme park Toverland and is located in the Ithaka theme area.
Construction of the €6.5 million roller coaster began in 2006 and was part of Toverland's plan to expand it as an 'outdoor' park. The owner of the amusement park has made a trip to choose the roller coaster, where he visited various amusement parks worldwide. With the experiences he gained, it emerged that Toverland wanted a wooden roller coaster with a steep descent at the beginning. The American manufacturer Great Coasters International was called in to realize the roller coaster. Construction of the roller coaster started in 2006. Construction was delayed after an unexpected gust of wind in the afternoon of Monday March 5, 2007 caused part of the construction to collapse. The damage was limited to material damage because the employees were on break at the time; no one was injured. Troy's soft opening took place on June 29, 2007 . Immediately after this, the roller coaster was also open to visitors. On July 1, 2007 at 11:00 AM the official opening of Troy took place. Since then, Troy has been the largest, longest, fastest and highest wooden roller coaster in the Benelux. In 2010, two other attractions opened in the themed area and Troy was no longer the only attraction in the themed area.
On May 19, 2019, on the occasion of a special RU-vid event, four RU-vidrs made 100 rides in this roller coaster in 8 hours. However, they were unable to complete this marathon in this roller coaster, as it had to be unexpectedly closed after 93 rides due to approaching thunderstorms. In order to reach the required 100 rides, the last seven rides were made inside. For this, the help of the covered roller coaster Toos-Express in the Land van Toos was called in for these rides.
During a ride in Troy, the train reaches a height of 31.9 meters and a top speed of 86.9 km/h. In 1:50 minutes, the train covers a distance of 1077 meters, with visitors a maximum g-force of 2.4 g. Troy has two trains running on the route, each with seating for twenty-four visitors.
