TH13TEEN

TH13TEEN blends a woodland family thrill coaster with a dark crypt scene and a vertical drop track.

TH13TEEN draws you into the Dark Forest on a mysterious expedition to an abandoned crypt. Outside, the train weaves low through the trees; inside, the ride suddenly shifts tone: the track drops away beneath you and sends you backwards into the darkness before you return to the station.
