Description

A fast-paced wooden roller coaster awaits you at over 2000 meters.

Hints:
Size limit: From 1.21 m

History:

  • The coaster originally opened with trains consisting of four cars with four seats.
  • 1980 The two center tunnels were joined to form a single longer tunnel. The end spiral was also closed at this time.
  • 2021 The first drop was reprofiled so that the entrance to the tunnel was lower. This changes the angle of the first drop from 45° to 53°.
