Le Vol d'Icare

Compacte Zierer-familieachtbaan in Grèce Antique, met een booster wheel lift en een vlucht rond de mythe van Icarus.

Le Vol d'Icare is de kleine Griekse tegenhanger van de grote thrillcoasters van Parc Astérix. De baan blijft overzichtelijk en familievriendelijk, maar gebruikt hoogte, bochten en de Icarus-thematiek om jonge rijders toch een echte achtbaanrit te geven.

Theming

De baan gebruikt de Icarus-mythe als lichte familievertelling: stijgen, draaien en weer afdalen zonder de zon te dicht te naderen.

Typical wait time: around 5 min.

It usually falls between 5 min and 15 min.

See more than 15 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.

Less than 5 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
