This area allows the little ones to play with dolls. It’s a fun activity for the whole family with activities such as making desserts in the kitchen, going outside and having unique experiences. Let your imagination run wild.
Winter Wonderland Rides
Apollo 13
If you are an adrenaline-fan, this one’s for you. Apollo 13 was originally the seventh crewed mission in the Apollo space programme, so you can imagine this ride is out of the world. Taking you on a ride over 55 metres high now is a good time to strap in.
Around the World
People with acrophobia (fear of heights) look away. Around the World quite literally attempts to do just what the name says, spinning you at a height of nearly 63 metres, we’ll call this one the “stomach churner”. Try to keep your food down.
Double Loop
Roller coasters are all the rage at this zone. Double Loop is a speedy coaster that flips you fully upside twice throughout the course of the ride, as the name suggests. This is not for the faint-hearted.
Energiser
Chasing the adrenaline train? All aboard. The Energiser spins you around, rotating you over 360 degrees in the air.
Top Buzz
Ever wondered what it might be like to sit on the propellors of a ceiling fan? No? Well, now you can experience something, not at all like it. Because while this one spins like a propellor, your ceiling fan hopefully doesn’t swing wildly in every direction.
