Discobélix

Discobélix is a thrilling spinning ride in the Greek area. A large disc fitted with seats swings back and forth like a pendulum while rotating at the same time. On the park's Dutch-language website it's called Discobelix.

The concept

Everyone knows that Obélix fell into the cauldron of magic potion as a child. That gave him legendary strength. When he decides to throw a gigantic discus, it just keeps on spinning. You sit on that discus, next to a large statue of Obélix.

The Experience

You sit in a circle on the disc, facing outwards. As the disc spins, the arm swings back and forth higher and higher. At the highest points you seem to float for a moment. The park describes it as a superhuman journey.

Not on a full stomach

The disc spins non-stop while it swings back and forth. Best to ride before lunch rather than after.

Watch first

Watch a ride from the sidelines first, so you know what you're in for.
