Big Loop
Big Loop is a classic in the Bucht der Piraten. This Vekoma coaster has been running since 1983, making it one of the oldest coasters in the park. Even so, it still turns you upside down four times. It is one of the "Big 7", the park's seven big coasters and thrill rides.
The concept
Big Loop doesn't have a complicated storyline. It's all about the inversions: two vertical loops followed by a double corkscrew. The white track with its red trains can be seen from far away, especially from the water in the bay.
The Experience
The train climbs to 30 metres and then plunges down, reaching up to 70 km/h. The two loops follow straight away, after which the double corkscrew turns you upside down twice more. The track is 704 metres long and a ride lasts about 108 seconds.
Discover Big Loop
Ideal as your first looping coaster
Big Loop is shorter and less intense than the newer coasters. It's a good ride for finding out whether you like loops.
Watch from the water
Part of the track runs right next to the water. That's where you can take great photos of the trains going through the loops.
Express Ticket
Big Loop is included in the Express Ticket Bronze (from € 25), Gold and Platin, as of November 2026.
