Le Vol d'Icare
Le Vol d'Icare is a small family coaster in the Greek zone. The yellow cars climb to 10 metres and reach 42 km/h. The ride has been running since 1994. On the park's Dutch-language website it's called De vlucht van Icarus.
The concept
In Greek myth, Icarus flew too close to the sun. Here you needn't worry about your wings melting, the park promises. You board a winged vehicle that carries you towards the Greek sun. The coaster was built by Zierer.
The Experience
Climbs, bends and drops follow one another in quick succession. The park calls the descent "anything but floaty". For children it's an exciting ride; for adults it's a fun quick ride in between.

Visitor information
From 1.00 metre you can ride when accompanied. From 1.30 metres you can ride alone. With Baby Switch, parents don't have to queue twice: one parent rides while the other waits with the child, then rides afterwards without queuing. Ask a member of staff. Wheelchair users take a lift to the station; you must be able to transfer into the car yourself.
Small but perfectly formed
Le Vol d'Icare is perfect for families with young children. Elsewhere in the Greek zone you'll find L'Hydre de Lerne and La Rivière d'Elis.
