Discover Grottenblitz
Our tips:

Grottenblitz
Grottenblitz is a nostalgic family coaster in Exploria. The Mack mine train has been racing through steep bends and right through a mountain since 1985. The park calls it a wild ride for true adventurers.
The concept
You board a little mine train with a rugged locomotive at the front. The track winds past rocks and through the inside of a mountain range. There are unexpected changes of speed and bends banked at up to 40 per cent.
The Experience
You reach speeds of up to 45 km/h. At the highest point you're 6 metres up, so it's more about the bends than the height. The track is 370 metres long and a ride lasts about 78 seconds. Children especially love the sections through the mountain.
Discover Grottenblitz
A first real roller coaster
Grottenblitz has no minimum height. A great first roller coaster for children aged 4 and up.
Watch out for the mountain
Part of the ride goes through the inside of the mountain. It gets dark in there for a moment.
Often a short queue
Grottenblitz draws smaller crowds than the Big 7. Handy if you fancy a quick ride.
Visitor information
There's no minimum height, but you must be at least 4 years old. Children under 8 must ride with an adult. You need to be able to get in and out on your own. Have your child measured at the first ride. You'll then get a wristband showing the confirmed height, so it doesn't need checking again everywhere.
The next step
Did your child enjoy Grottenblitz? Then try the Indy-Blitz or, from 1.20 metres, the Bobbahn. That way you build up the thrills gradually.
