Our tips:

Matterhorn-Blitz
Matterhorn-Blitz is the roller coaster in the Switzerland themed area. Since 1999 you've been able to race wildly over hill and dale here in small cars. The ride was built by MACK Rides.
The concept
Before you board, you walk through a furnished Swiss farmhouse. You see the life of a large family and the animals of the Alps. That way you soak up the mountain atmosphere before the ride even starts. Then you climb into a car for four people.
The Experience
Once you've boarded, you head upwards, after which you plunge down and race along the track. The track is 16 metres high and you reach speeds of up to 60 km/h. Thanks to the tight bends and the nimble cars, the 2-minute-20-second ride feels wilder than the figures suggest.
Discover Matterhorn-Blitz
Take a look around the queue
The chalets in the queue come from Switzerland and, according to the park, date from 1785. Inside you can see how a large family lived in the old days.
Small cars
Each car seats only four people. That makes the bends feel sharper than you'd expect.
Combine it with Switzerland
The same themed area is also home to the Bobbaan and the Jungfrau Gletschervlucht.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.20 metres tall. Between 1.20 metres and 1.30 metres you ride accompanied by an adult; from 1.30 metres you may ride alone. The minimum age is 6; children under 8 must be accompanied. The ride is not permitted for pregnant women.
Short but wild
Matterhorn-Blitz is a fun roller coaster for families with slightly older children. After your ride, stroll through the Swiss village with its chalets.
