features
In contrast to the standard Wilde Maus lifts , the lift does not have a classic lift hill, but a vertical elevator that enables two cars to be pulled at a height of 16 meters at the same time. When the elevator arrives at the top, the first car starts moving, the second also leaves the elevator, but is then stopped to create the distance between the two cars. Two elevator gondolas run simultaneously in this elevator. If one gondola goes up, the other gondola goes down. In order for the gondolas to pass each other and not collide, the two gondolas drive along two different guide rails. At medium height, these rails are so far apart that both gondolas can pass each other. The layout is themed similar to the adjacent Swiss village with wooden houses . Houses are driven through and at a bend it appears as if a car has damaged the corner of a house. The last part of the waiting area in front of the station leads past rural scenes with human and animal figures and animatronics .
Trains
The Matterhorn Blitz has twelve cars. Four people (two rows of two people) can be seated in each car.
