Description

A short train that still has it all. If you like it to be quick and don't be afraid to stand on your head, you've come to the right place.

Hints:
Size restriction: From 1.20 m
Age restriction: -no restriction-

History:

  • 1990-2020: name "Tornado" with yellow rails and green supports.
  • 2021: Redesign and renaming to "Balagos", as well as a new train from Sunkid Heege. The rails are painted orange and the supports are painted black

Specialities:

  • The park's first major investment. Since the tornado is a standard design, there are two similar roller coasters in Tusenfryd (Loopen) and Tokyo Summerland (Tornado).
