Welcome, the Spinning Racer. Built by Maurer Söhne in 2001, this spinning roller coaster has previously toured in Germany under the ownership of Inge & Angela Bruch. It also operated at Fantasy Island for a single season, in 2021.

The park has confirmed a 28 March launch date for the colourful family thrill ride, promising a lively mix of twists, turns and unpredictable spinning action.

This coaster not only reaches 70km/h but whirls you in every direction possible – adrenaline junkies, be prepared to feel the ultimate rush! Riders between 1.2m and 1.4m tall need to be accompanied by an adult.
