The concept

In Greek myth, the hero Heracles defeated the Lernaean Hydra, a dangerous monster with seven heads. Now it's your turn. You'll need a bit of courage, says the park: the life of a demigod isn't easy.

The Experience

Once you've boarded, the monster lifts you up with its tentacles and spins you around to make you dizzy. You go up and down and round and round. Exciting for kids, a cheerful ride for parents.

From 1.00 metre you can ride when accompanied. A nice stepping stone between the children's rides and the big attractions.

The gondolas are ideal for a parent with a child.

Combine in Greece

L'Hydre de Lerne is right next to Le Vol d'Icare and Pégase Express.

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 boards without queuing. Ask a member of staff. Wheelchair users take a lift to the platform; you must be able to transfer into the gondola yourself.
