Efteling’s new coaster


Joris en de Draak


Based around the story of George and the Dragon, Efteling's new duelling coaster opened to the public on July 1. The ride replaces the previous wooden coaster Pegasus and is located next to the lake used by the Flying Dutchman. Joris en de Draak was built by the American manufacturer Great Coasters International (GCI) and features two 810-metre-long tracks, reaching a maximum height of 25-metres. Riders in each train - named “water” and “fire” - are given the challenge of slaying the dragon as they race against one another at up to 75 km/h. Featuring customised versions of GCI's “Millennium Flyer” trains, guests as short as 1.1-metre in height can become dragon hunters. Following in the footsteps of the legendary George and the Dragon tales, they must save the life of an innocent girl under threat from the dragon. This animated centrepiece was supplied by P&P Projects (see page 21).

Revolution 360° at Seabreeze


Seabreeze, Rochester, New York, has introduced Revolution 360o, a Mega Disk 'O’ from Zamperla. The 47ft-high, 123ft-long ride accommodates 24 passengers and has been located across from the Whirlwind spinning coaster at the north end of the park's midway. From there at the top of the ride passengers discover a postcard view of Lake Ontario. “We're thrilled to


introduce this,” says park president Rob Norris. “We have a great working relationship with Zamperla and are pleased to add another of their rides to our line- up.”
