Accidents
- July 15, 2005: On the roller coaster Formule 1 of the manufacturer PAX Company there was a rear-end collision in the park, in which several cars drove up and collided. Eleven people were injured.
- August 17, 2005: Around four weeks later there was another serious accident in the park. The accident occurred on Soquet's powered coaster called Looping , where the fully occupied train was passing through the loop at the time of the accident when the train disengaged itself from the rails and then fell to the ground. Four people were seriously injured that day. The railway was shut down and dismantled after the accident.
- August 22, 2009: That day, there was an accident in the park in which a 35-year-old woman was fatally injured. Resuscitation attempts by the fire brigade were unsuccessful. At the time of the accident, the woman was on the Formule 1 coaster, on which she was actually not allowed to ride due to her overweight (corpulent physique, almost 100 kg body weight), but this was not pointed out to her. Halfway through the ride, the train contains an airtime hill and shortly thereafter a very steep descent where the woman was thrown out of her car and fell into the depths. The woman died at the scene of the accident. After the accident, all rail cars were fitted with additional seat belts.
- July 4, 2020: Another fatal accident occurred at Formule-1 . A 32-year-old woman fell off the train while driving and died despite immediate action by the rescue workers at the scene of the accident. The railway was closed; the rest of the park continued to operate.
