The concept

The attraction is based on the Mad Hatter's tea party from Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland. It was modelled on the 1955 classic at Disneyland. You climb into a large pastel-coloured teacup. The cups spin around a big teapot, accompanied by cheerful music.

The Experience

When the ride starts, the whole platform turns and the cups also spin on their own axis. In the middle of your cup is a wheel. Turn it hard and the cup spins faster and faster. Keep the wheel still and you enjoy a gentle spin. That way the whole family can join in, each at their own pace.

You set the speed

With the wheel in the middle of your cup, you spin as fast or as slowly as you like.

Not straight after eating

Planning some serious spinning? Then it's best not to ride straight after lunch.

Visitor information

There is no minimum height. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or over. If you get dizzy easily, don't turn the wheel. The ride is short and the queue usually moves quickly.
