Vindjammer

The Vindjammer is the large swinging ship in the Scandinavia themed area. Since 1993 you've been able to set off on a stormy sea voyage here. The park calls it a giant swinging ship for daredevils.

The concept

The ship holds 54 people and swings back and forth like a pendulum. With every swing it climbs a little higher. The ride was built by the German manufacturer Huss.

The Experience

The ride lasts about two minutes. At the highest point you briefly feel yourself lifting out of your seat, before the ship swings back down again. As the park itself puts it, you get a good shake-up.
