The coaster intertwines with two attractions: Atlantica SuperSplash and blue fire Megacoaster powered by GAZPROM.

WODAN - Timburcoaster 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.
