Les Chaudrons

Les Chaudrons is a spinning ride in the Gaulish area, under a large thatched roof. You sit in a cauldron of magic potion. On the park's Dutch-language website, the ride is called De ketels.

The concept

Obélix fell into the cauldron of magic potion as a child. Will you get side effects too when you climb in? The cauldrons are so big that you immediately feel small. The park makes a joke about it: they say nothing more about the menhir delivery man's weight.

The Experience

You soon feel the strange effects of the potion: a spinning head, euphoria and uncontrollable laughter. Your cauldron spins round while the whole platform turns as well. A cheerful ride that's as intense as you want to make it.

Discover Les Chaudrons

Spin it yourself

The harder you turn the wheel in the middle, the faster your cauldron spins. Or just take it easy.

Fun with children

From 0.90 metres you can ride when accompanied.

Quick ride

Les Chaudrons is right next to Cétautomatix, so it's easy to combine the two.

Visitor information

From 0.90 metres you can ride with an accompanying adult. From 1.20 metres you can ride on your own. With Baby Switch, parents don't have to queue twice: one parent rides while the other waits with the child, then gets on without queuing. Just ask a member of staff. Wheelchair users enter via a lift; you must be able to transfer into the cauldron yourself.
