You
may have been on a bobsleigh coaster before. It's a coaster consisting of a
large pipe like structure which you ride down instead of a track. The
example that immediately springs to mind is the Avalanche at Blackpool, but
there are also examples at Parc Asterix and Europa Park.
All
of these examples are made by a company called Mack, a ride manufacturer
best known for it's great family coasters and water rides. This version at
Efteling is an example of a Bobsleigh made by a company called Intamin, a
company known for it's highly thrilling rides, and the difference between
the two companies is evident here.
The
ride achieves a much higher level of thrills and intensity than you would
normally expect from a Bobsleigh coaster. It tears around the track at a
great pace, in a way that thrills and disorientates you as you tear around
it.
Another
notable difference is instead of a short family ride you get a much longer
ride tearing around the woods. If you've been on Avalanche, or similar rides
you might think you know what to expect. Instead you will be rewarded with a
ride of great quality that will come as a very pleasant surprise. |
