Hicks Himmelsstürmer
Hicks Himmelsstürmer is located in Drachenzähmen – Die Insel. Do just as Hicks does: summon your courage, become a dragon tamer and take to the skies. The ride opened in 2016 and was built by Zamperla.
The concept
You lie on your stomach, just as you would on a dragon's wings. The eight gondolas have been knocked together from colourful finds on the island of Berk. According to the park, it's the perfect flight school for future dragon riders.
The Experience
The gondolas swing back and forth and spin round, reaching heights of up to 9.8 metres. You fly the wildest manoeuvres. A ride lasts about two minutes and feels like real flying to children.

Flying lying down
You lie on your stomach in the gondola. That feels different from sitting, so watch a ride first.
From 1.20 metres
The minimum height is 1.20 metres and the minimum age is 6. Have your child measured beforehand.
Ride with mum or dad
Children under 8 and up to 1.30 metres must fly with an adult.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.20 metres tall and 6 years old, with a maximum height of 1.95 metres. Children under 8 and up to 1.30 metres must ride with an adult. You must 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 have to be checked again everywhere.
