Ton van de Ven (1 January 1944 – 16 September 2015) was a Dutch industrial designer.

[1] Van de Ven was born in Eindhoven, Netherlands, where he also studied at the Design Academy.

After a few sketches Pieck was convinced that he could fully trust the park in the hands of Van de Ven.

Van de Ven's first "own" ride was the Haunted Castle ("Spookslot") in 1978, the first big attraction in the park.

In 2002 Van de Ven retired from the park, and he could concentrate on his hobby - creating large paintings and sculptures of women.
