Wakala
Wakala is Bellewaerde's big family coaster, in the Canada zone. The coaster opened in 2020 and, according to the park, is a favourite with many visitors. You ride up to 21 metres high among the trees and reach around 50 kilometres per hour.
The concept
Wakala fits the Canada theme: vast forests, lakes and wooden buildings. The yellow trains run along a 660-metre track that winds its way through the trees. What makes it special is that the ride has two lift hills: after the first section you're pulled up again for a second round.
The Experience
The drops give you butterflies in your stomach, but the ride isn't too wild. There are no loops. That makes Wakala a great first proper coaster for children who have outgrown the kiddie rides. An on-ride photo is taken during the ride.

Use the single rider line
Wakala has a single rider queue. If you don't mind not sitting next to your group, you fill an empty seat and often get to ride sooner.
Come early
According to the park, Wakala is a favourite with many visitors. Go straight after opening or later in the afternoon, when the queue is usually shorter.
Check the waiting time
In the free Bellewaerde app you can see the waiting times and the park map. You can also find them on our Bellewaerde waiting times page.
Visitor information
From 1.00 metre you can ride accompanied by an adult. From 1.20 metres you can ride on your own. Children are measured with their shoes on. The Bellewaerde app lets you check in advance who can go on which ride. You must be able to get in and out independently. Pregnant women and people with back or neck problems, heart conditions or high blood pressure cannot ride. Do you have a disability? At the Infostand at Ingang Leeuw or Ingang Mexico you can get an ACCESS wristband for the separate entrance. At most rides, this is located at the exit.
The showpiece of Canada
Wakala is in the revamped Canada zone, which is also home to Niagara, Dawson Duel and the new Seesaw Swing. Afterwards, grab a burger at the Canadian Burger, right by the big lake.
