KIRMES & Park REVUE (English) Special: Rouen (Vorschau)

At first glance “Le Twist” appears to be quite
unspectacular, and quite small in size. However
the impression is definitely deceptive as the train
with four rotating cars masters the course at a
racy tempo. Additionally the individual track
elements are perfectly attuned to each other, so
that the ride, despite the quick procedure and the
rotation, runs very smoothly.
Following the very low-noise chain lift, the way to
the first drop begins with a left-right course where
the cars already begin to rotate so that the ride
guest doesn’t exactly know in which seating position
the drop will be taken. The train is brought to
its top speed either forwards or backwards to then
travel into one of the less impressive elements of
the construction by way of a left directional curve
near the ground. The steep and highly placed
curve is travelled through by the softly rotating
cars, so that the guests have partly really unusual
views from various angles. The second great
element is the helix that ends at the top, whereby
the lateral banking of the tracks is what’s special
here.
The train travels at a 90° angle in parts through
this area, which causes the passengers to lose all
orientation. Another left curve close to the ground
brings the train to an S-curve.
Shortly after, the train reaches the
final brakes to then travel leisurely
back to the station. Before that the
train is finally braked and the cars
are returned to their loading position
again.
The station area is very functionally
The attraction lives from
the lush vegetation at the park
