rom this summer, fans of breathtaking roller coasters and Tomorrowland fans will be able to experience “The Ride to Happiness by Tomorrowland” at
Plopsaland De Panne in Belgium. According to the park, the new attraction will be “the very fi rst extreme spinning coaster in Europe and the second of this kind worldwide. There is currently only one, in the United States. This new coaster sees visitors catapulted twice to a speed of 90 km/h and go upside down fi ve times in the process. The cars can rotate freely, giving visitors a different ride experience every time. The attraction has a total length of almost one kilometre and stands 35 metres above the ground at its highest point, providing an exceptional view of the park and the spacious surroundings. In addition to the unique thematic content, Tomorrowland is also creating an exclusive soundtrack based on the Tomorrowland Hymn composed by Hans Zimmer, which will be heard during the ride. Renowned German roller coaster manufacturer Mack Rides is responsible for the technical design, engineering and construction of the structure. The creative team from Tomorrowland and the Plopsa Group are responsible for the theming and overall experience. The aim is to
