Typhoon, Steel roller coaster in Bobbejaanland, Kasterlee, Belgium

Typhoon is a steel roller coaster at Bobbejaanland in Lichtaart, Belgium, built by Gerstlauer as a Euro-Fighter model. Its track covers 670 metres in about 90 seconds, with a vertical lift, a 97-degree first drop, and four inversions: a 19-metre loop, a double heartline roll, and a single heartline roll. The train has three cars, each seating eight passengers in two rows of four.

Typhoon opened on 10 April 2004, built by German manufacturer Gerstlauer as the second Euro-Fighter model. It replaced the Looping Star coaster on the same 75 by 29 metre site, and its vertical loop stands where the Looping Star's loop was, built with the same construction as a visual nod.

Typhoon stands in Land of Legends, the themed area Bobbejaanland opened in 2019 around the four elements; the coaster represents wind. Its queue was given a new theme and a new starting point on a central square of that area, and the track was repainted icy blue with grey cars.

Typhoon sits in the Land of Legends area, where it represents the element of wind; its queue starts on the central square of that zone. Since the 2025 season a single-rider queue runs to the right of the Speedy Pass entrance, useful when riding alone. The station is reached by the themed queue, and the train holds eight passengers in two rows of four.

The first drop is 97 degrees, steeper than vertical and the steepest in Belgium. The ride's four inversions are packed into a base of only 75 by 29 metres, a footprint cited as unusually small for a coaster with that many inversions.
