Stampida
Stampida is the wooden roller coaster in Far West, on the edge of the town of Penitence. Two trains run at the same time and race against each other. According to the park, it is one of the few wooden roller coasters in Europe.
The concept
When the first settlers arrived in America, there were no property rules yet: whoever stood on a piece of land first got to keep it. The Connery and Cranberry families built Stampida to fight out their land duels. The red train belongs to the Connerys, the blue one to the Cranberrys.
The Experience
The track is about a kilometre long and full of little climbs and drops. According to the park, you reach around 70 km/h. Because the trains run side by side and past each other, you keep an eye on the other train the whole time. The ride lasts about a minute and a half and is pretty rough, as you'd expect from a wooden coaster.
