Merlin's Quest
Merlin's Quest is the boat ride through Avalon, the medieval world of Toverland. The ride opened in 2018, just like Fēnix. It was built by Mack Rides. It seems like a gentle boat trip, until Fēnix suddenly races past.
The concept
You sail across the waters of Avalon to Tovenaar Merlijn. Along the way you encounter remarkable faces, and eventually the gatekeeper lets you into a mysterious cave network. Among the floating books, you come face to face with Merlijn.
The Experience
The boats sail gently, at around 2 km/h. Outside, you see Fēnix fly past just above the water. Inside, you end up in an imaginative world with Tír na nÓg in the distance, the source of eternal life. The route is 430 metres long and the ride lasts around twelve minutes.

For young and old
There is no minimum height: children under 1.20 metres can ride when accompanied.
Take your time
The ride lasts about twelve minutes. A nice breather between the thrilling attractions.
Wheelchair accessible too
Merlin's Quest is wheelchair accessible. You'll be assigned a special seat.
Visitor information
From 1.20 metres you can ride alone; smaller children must be accompanied by someone aged 16 or over. Shoes are compulsory. The ride is not suitable if you are pregnant or have neck, back or heart problems. With the Baby Switch, parents don't have to queue twice: one parent rides while the other waits with the child, then swaps in afterwards. You get the ticket for this at the station. Merlin's Quest is wheelchair accessible; use the entrance for guests with disabilities, near the exit.
The story of Avalon
Merlin's Quest tells the story of Avalon, so it's a great way to start your visit to this world. Afterwards you'll know why Avalon is celebrating, and you can head on to Garden Tour or Fēnix.
