The concept

Tønnevirvel is a Twist 'n' Splash by MACK Rides. According to the park, this is the first time in the world that this ride has been installed in a water park. There are nine round boats for up to six people. They rotate on three underwater platforms. The boats sit within a magical stone circle, an ancient Norse place of worship.

The Experience

You sit back to back and aim your water gun at the other boats. Because the boats spin, you never know who you'll hit next. People on the sidelines join in too with their own water guns. A ride lasts about three minutes and you're guaranteed to come off wet.
