Kolumbusjolle

The Kolumbusjolle is an indoor family ride in the Spain themed area. Since 1994 it has let you feel like Christopher Columbus on his way to America for a little while.

The concept

You sit two to a boat. Waves from a rough sea pick up the boats, so just like Columbus you find yourself on a choppy ocean. In the queue, videos and moving figures tell the story.

The Experience

The ride lasts about a minute and a half. The boats go up and down and back and forth, with light and sound effects and partly in the dark. It's interactive, so you can influence the ride a little yourself.
