AVALON THE NEXT CHAPTER AT TOVERLAND SUPPLIED BY INTAMIN, ZAMPERLA, GERSTLAUER, METALLBAU EMMELN
The expansion of the Avalon themed area is really outstanding. It features four new rides, two new playgrounds and five interactive experiences consisting of small sceneries which the guests can interact with. The all set up is associated with a nice theming and beautiful green spaces (lots of
flowers), perfectly integrated in the existing area. Lots of details in the theming, such as paintings under the roof of the carousel. Toverland has done a wonderful job on this project, working with a different
supplier for each ride (Gerstlauer, Intamin, Zamperla, Metallbau Emmeln), which was a good idea to offer a diversity of ride experiences to the guests. The two major rides have covered preshows in which guests are grouped before entering the rides, which help operations to go faster and have a better flow. The Gerstlauer Sky Fly is spectacular, being built in the centre of the wing coaster helix. There is also a screen showing the number of rotations made by every rider at the end of each ride. Clever!

With 50 attractions and shows, the Land of the Gauls will make you feel like the sky is falling on your head. There’s plenty to do in Armorica. Thrill-seekers can visit the Egyptian ruins at full speed with OzIris or make the most of the other seven attractions that are waiting to get you off the ground. For a more family-friendly activity, try your hand at menhir throwing with Discobélix, or take advantage of the other 22 attractions that have something for everyone. Young warriors keen to fight their first battle will find worthy opponents on Les Petits Chars tamponneurs or on the other 13 attractions for little Gauls! After that, who would dare say that the Gauls don’t know how to entertain? For a truly immersive experience, take a look at the Gaulish festival in the brand new area dedicated to the venerable Toutatis. Honour the god by riding this one-of-a-kind attraction. Going 110 km/h and standing 51 metres tall, it is the fastest roller coaster in France. Try the hypnotising experience of Chez Gyrofolix, a family-friendly attraction that the youngest brave Gauls will love!
