This ride was designed and manufactured by the top Italian rides and attraction group, Zamperla Rides. The ride is also located closely to Agila: The Eksperience which immerses riders with a view of the park and the surrounding area.

The Ekstreme Tower Ride guarantees a surge of adrenaline as it takes you up a 120 feet high tower and plunges you back to the bottom within 2 seconds at 76kph. But of course, before it suddenly drops you to the ground this thrill ride also gives a magnificent view of the park.  

Space Shuttle

Patterned after famous sci-fi films and NASA space programs in the 1960s, this roller coaster ride lifts its riders high into the sky equivalent to the height of an 11-story building before dropping and turning its riders upside down a total of 6 times. That’s 3 times forward and 3 times backward within a span of 2 minutes.  

Twin Spin

The seats are arranged back-to-back with free spinning coaches which makes you turn for the entirety of the ride as you go through sharp curves and helices. This ride is another variation of the classic roller coaster but mild enough for younger parkgoers or older adventure seekers.  

Jungle Log Jam

Prepare to get wet as this water ride recreates the experience of traversing a river with its twist and turns. The Jungle Log Jam also takes you up and down 2 slopes of varying height before hurtling you down into the water. The steep drop down to the bottom will surely make a big splash so better bring a change of clothes.  

Air Race

While connected to a central tower, riders are seated on acrobatic planes that mimic exhibition flights with twists and loops. The planes rotate anywhere between 360 degrees while revolving around the central tower.
