    Piraña
    In this attraction you step in a round boat, to get wet. It was the first in Europe, and the second in the world. There are waterfalls, and rapids. Some boats are faster than yours, try to be faster! And try to get dry out this attraction. Sometimes you're soaked, sometimes you're still a dry sahara. Take a ride in this wild river, but watch out. There's a waterfall at the end of the tunnel. Maybe you will get sprayed by the altars of the water gods?



    It is themed to an aztec look-a-like theme. You go trough rocks, some trees, walls and under bridges. one boat has 6 places to sit on (with only childs it will be 9) the waiting line is in the sun, so it is not a big problem to get wet. In the summer you want it in that hot sun. In 2011 the building did get a renovation, to make it look like how it was in the first years. During the winter of 2013/2014 the ride did get a new renovation and some add ons. The water-god altars are a new function in the ride. Visitors on the sides can activate those altars with putting their hand in the mouth. A few seconds later the statue on the other side will spray the boat, or mayby you?



     Did you know:
    One boat ever collapsed in this ride at the end. One person was hurt, but no one died or drowned in this ride. This accident happened because people were standing in the boat, while an other boat did hit them. Because everyon was standing on the same side of the boat, it collapsed. When you sit down normal, nothing will happen. This accidents happens also in other parks!


    - Popularity Attraction
    this is in the summer a very popular attraction. Maybe because the ride is funny and very good. But also that it is actually the only water ride in the park where you can get good wet. 3 months long there are waiting lines from over the 30 minutes. All the other times it is less than 10 minutes.


    - Waiting Times
    In the summer months 30 minutes, otherwise less than 10.

    - Theming attraction
    It is themed to south-america, aztec, Maya and styles like that. It is an combi. We also find rocks, and walls in this ride. Together with some waterfalls. The new landscaping in the 2013/2014 season with the new features makes it one star better. This goes from a 7 to an 8.


    - Riding Time
    The riding time is different. You will ride it sure for 3 minutes, but it is possible to 10 minutes. There are some points in this attraction where you can stay very long, because the waves are not reaching that point, and other boats push you back everytime. But at that point you still can get wet! These 2 points are by the rocks on the waves-point (middle of the course) and at the end before you go on the lifthill (it is possible to have some problems by the opening in the wall)

    - Disordering of attraction
    This attraction is always open. In the winter season it is closed.
