Dwervelwind
Dwervelwind is the spinning coaster in the Magische Vallei, the world of the Dwervels. The coaster opened in 2012 and was built by Mack Rides. You sit in a round car that spins freely as you race along the yellow track.
The concept
The Dwervels are the little inhabitants of the Magische Vallei. Dwervelwind is all about a whirlwind sweeping across the valley. Will you be going forwards or backwards? On this coaster, you never know in advance.
The Experience
The track is 462 metres long and 21 metres high at its highest point. You reach around 75 km/h. After the drop, the car starts to spin, sometimes gently and sometimes quite hard. It feels almost like a weightless flight. A ride lasts about 92 seconds and every ride is different.

Spread the weight
How the car spins depends on how the weight is distributed. If the heaviest people sit on one side, you'll usually spin more.
For the whole family
From 1.20 metres you can ride alone, and between 1.00 and 1.20 metres with a companion. That way younger children can join in too.
Listen carefully
During the ride you'll hear enchanting music flying past. See if you can spot it.
Visitor information
From 1.20 metres you can ride alone; between 1.00 and 1.20 metres you must be accompanied by someone aged 16 or over. Below 1.00 metre there is no access. Shoes are compulsory. Dwervelwind is not suitable if you are pregnant or have an arm or leg in plaster. With Baby Switch, parents don't have to queue twice: one parent rides while the other waits with the child, then takes their turn. You can get the ticket for this at the station. There is a lift at the entrance for guests with disabilities, close to the exit. In heavy rain, snow or strong winds, the ride may open later or close temporarily; you can check the current status in the Toverland app.
Spinning in the valley
Dwervelwind is a great coaster for the whole family: exciting, but not too much. Afterwards, take a break on the terrace at Katara Plaza and watch the Katara fountain show.
