Frequently asked questions

1) What do you mean by the different types of rides?

If you look globally at all the rides that exist then these mostly fit into 7 different types of rides. You can also subdivide these into different types and sizes, but for the overview we keep it simple. We define these six rides as follows:

• Roller coaster: A ride where you ride a very curvy and steep course in a cart.
• Carousel: A ride that only revolves, this can be hard, soft, in the air or on the ground.
• Pendulum ride: A ride where you are swung from one direction to another. The pirate ship is the most known form of a pendulum ride.
• Playground: A playground that can be indoors or outdoors with mainly climbing equipment, swings and slides. This can also involve Water.
• Show: A ride where you sit in a chair and watch performance, film or computer controlled performance.
• Tour: A moving or walkable ride where you can view the surroundings.
• Water Slide: A ride where a boat or person travels a wild water route in various forms

 

2) What do you mean with ‘calm, moderate and intens’?

Each ride has a degree of intensity. The rating is calm, moderate or intens based on physical intensity. A calm ride has no or little effect on the body. A moderate ride is so fast that you are shaken or twisted very hard and a intens ride is only when there are extreme forces on the body such as a inversion or extreme speed. it is meant to give you an indication with what kind of people you can visit the park and the ride.
