The excitement and thrills of a roller coaster

Bobsleigh: Take a seat in one of the carts and fasten the seat belts. You will be pulled to the highest point of the roller coaster and then proceed to fly down at high speeds. The bobsleigh track has all kinds of twists and turns after which you will arrive at the bottom.
Magic Pomme Vallée: there is a roller coaster in the shape of a caterpillar for the younger children. This ride goes a lot slower which makes it less scary for small children.
