Discover Pixarus
Our tips:
- Use the wings
- Watch Fēnix
- Check the height requirement
Pixarus
Pixarus is the flying machine ride in Avalon. You sit in a small plane on the arm of a rotating tower. With the wizard Merlijn as your teacher, you learn to fly. The special part: you decide for yourself how often you go upside down.
The concept
Pixarus was built by Gerstlauer and has twelve little planes. The tower is about 27 metres tall and stands right in the middle of the helix of wing coaster Fēnix, the spectacular banked turn. So you fly right through the coaster's track.
The Experience
You fly round at about 30 km/h. You tilt your plane using the wings. If you dare, you can roll all the way over. You can also just sit back and enjoy the view over Avalon. So it's exactly as thrilling as you want it to be.
Discover Pixarus
Use the wings
You steer yourself with your plane's wings. The more you dare to tilt, the more often you go upside down.
Watch Fēnix
Pixarus stands right in the middle of Fēnix's banked turn. From your plane you see the coaster up close.
Check the height requirement
Children under 1.25 metres can't ride, not even when accompanied.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.25 metres tall; if you're shorter, you can't ride. Shoes are compulsory. Pixarus isn't suitable if you're 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 swaps in. You get the ticket for this at the station. In heavy rain, snow or strong wind, the ride may open later or close temporarily; you can check the current status in the Toverland app.
Learn to fly yourself
Pixarus is a fun ride for youngsters who love a challenge. Prefer to fly really fast? Then hop on Fēnix, which races right past you.
