Ride details

Infusion

Infusion is the Vekoma Suspended Looping Coaster over water, with five inversions and a legs-dangling ride experience.

Infusion sends the ride skimming above the water, with your feet dangling free as the train tears through a roll-over, sidewinder and double inline twist. The coaster first opened in Southport as Traumatizer, then arrived in Blackpool with a striking waterside look that makes every dive and loop stand out even more.

It usually falls between 10 min and 35 min.

See more than 35 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.

Less than 10 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
