Ride and grounds

The ride is located between the Wild Mouse Ghost Chasers and the steel roller coaster Backyardigans: Mission to Mars . The passengers glide in a circle through the air and fly past a small Chinese garden , including a pagoda . The ride focuses on families and children and is therefore not too fast and offers enough time to enjoy the view. The ride takes place about 6 meters above the ground. The minimum size for entry is 120 cm with an escort and 140 cm without an escort and the minimum age is six years. For safety reasons, the ride is prohibited for pregnant women and wheelchair users.

Gondolas and seats

There are a total of eight gondolas, each designed for four people. In order to create a feeling of flying, the driving position is designed so that you can experience everything from the horizontal. The passengers therefore lie on their stomach in a relatively hard seat shell and can hold on to the front.
