Wodan Timbur coaster is a wooden roller coaster located at Europa-Park in Rust, Baden Wuerttemberg, Germany. It opened on 31 March 2012 and was built by Great Coasters International.[1]
The ride is located in the Iceland section of the park, which opened in 2009. It is the park's first and only wooden coaster. Plus, the attraction features a restroom halfway throughout the queue line.
Etymology
The coaster was named after the Germanic name of the Nordic god Odin. Timbur is the Icelandic word for wood.
Design
The coaster intertwines with two attractions, which are Atlantica SuperSplash and Blue fire Megacoaster.
Theme
Wodan Timbur Coaster is themed to Norse mythology. The queue line features several heavily detailed elements, including fire, mist and water effects. The goddess of death, Hel, is also featured and has a turning sand timer. Projection Mapping, smoke screens and moving ceilings are also used in the indoor sections, which immerse guests in mythology. In the station, statues watch the train leave and turn to watch the train arrive. The ride also features tunnels and a station fly-through.
Trains
3 trains with 12 cars per train. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in a single row, for a total of 24 riders per train. The trains are GCI Millennium Flyer trains.
