Alpenexpress "Enzian"
The Alpenexpress "Enzian" is the family coaster in the Austria themed area. The original ride ran from 1984 to 2023; since 2024 the revamped version has been back.
The concept
You ride in a 38-seat train through the Austrian mountains and the Zauberschlucht der Diamanten, the enchanted diamond gorge. Along the way you'll see huge rock formations and thundering waterfalls. What makes it special: the train runs two laps in a row.
The Experience
The ride is fast but never too intense. You reach a top speed of 45 km/h and the whole trip lasts about 1 minute and 40 seconds. Steep little climbs alternate with fast drops. Light, sound and a bit of smoke give the gorge extra atmosphere.
