Park description
Adventure
The highlights of the indoor adventure area are, also from a technical point of view, the two themed trips Pharaos Fury and The adventures of Sindbad . In addition to these two, thematically elaborate attractions, there are a few other, rather simpler attractions in Adventure , such as the Vekoma looping roller coaster French Revolution , the two water rides Jungle Adventure and Flume Ride and some 4D cinemas.
Magic Island
The image of Magic Island is shaped by a building reminiscent of Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle.
The most important attraction in this area is probably Intamin's Launched Coaster Atlantis Adventure , which opened in 2003 and whose route runs both outside and inside.
The Spinning Powered Coaster Comet Express , which opened in 1995, is from the same manufacturer . The Fantasy Dream themed ride aimed at children and the 70-meter-high Gyro Drop free-fall tower complete the offer, as do a swing tree and a haunted house .
Compared to the adventure area, Magic Island is smaller.
