(With more help from Google Translate, we have this statement from the park.)

“With the world’s first water coaster with Multi LIM launch we not only fulfill a dream, but also want to thank our loyal and steadily growing fan community on a very special Art,” said Jan Völgel, managing director of the park. “The once-in-a-lifetime combination of hightech, water slide and roller coaster is not available in this form anywhere else in the world. The action-packed and yet family-friendly direction of the main attraction will perfectly complement the varied offer of our parks. It is no coincidence that we have decided here to return to the trusted partnership with MACK RIDES, and thus to a true “MACK” product.”

The MULTI LAUNCH WATER COASTER catapults you out of the stand into the water and provides the whole family with exciting curves, splashy rides, fast turns and even a second launch, before you with a powerful “last float” in the last flood. An investment of approximately 11.5 Million Euros, the coaster guarantees the imposing water coaster on over 500 meters in length and with exciting elements such as a High Five-zone or the Twisted Airtime Hill faceted ride.

A completely new coaster experience awaits you from 2026 as well and will surely continue to grow the number of Plohnfans far beyond the Saxon borders.
