    Stoomtrein

    This train stops by 2 stations. One by Droomvlucht (north-west in the park) and by Python (station de oost, south east in the park) you can always choose to ride a full round, and what you see in the train is always beautiful. The trains did not always ride in a full round, in the beginning they had a half-circle trough the park, at the end the train had to turn. The trains will leave the station every 20 minutes when using one train, with two it will take 10 minutes to leave every time. This ride does not work during the evening with the Aquanura shows. The rails goes near the platforms of aquanura, when there happens an accident there is no-way out for the visitors, so for the safety the train does not ride that time!



    The trains have some names. Aagje, Trijntje, Moortje, Neefje and Dieseltje and Dieseltje 2. Dieseltje 2 is the working train (regular visitors will never see him) But the older one was called Dieseltje without a number. Aagje celebrated her 100st aniversary in 2011, Neefje does not work anymore (she is a model now by the north-west station) And moortje does ride when there are many people in the park. Trijntje is the only train in the red colors, she is built on an other method, this causes that the train is very difficult to be cleaned. She is almost never in use, just some days in a year, because standin still is very bad for trains. When you see a red train, you are lucky! The trains will ride with 6 carts, making the total capacity per train 100 visitors. When there is a crowded day they will use 9 carts with a total of 150 seats for the visitors.




    Did you know:

    There happened some several accidents with those trains. It killed once an old man that did not go fast enough over the rails. It is the only deadly accident in the history of the park. Since this accident there are red warning lights. years later the train did hit a truck, the train was off the rails, but had no damage. The truck had actually damage on the left side.

    - Popularity Attraction
    It looks like it is not popular, but watch better, when visitors see the train, the waiting line gets full quickly. The train self is mostly full. When you see a train waiting, while you're near, just go in it then. You don't need to wait for the next train.


    - Waiting Times
    There is no waiting time here. When you are going to wait when the train leaves, you have to wait 20 minutes, or 10. (one, or two trains on the rails) When you join the line when there is a train waiting, you could step in immediatly. Most of the time then.

    - Theming attraction
    This attraction is not themed, you just go trough nice landscapings, and beside attractions. Some places are not that beautifull, so we have to give is a 7


    - Riding Time
    The riding time is 10 minutes for a half round, and 20 for the full round. (though you will wait some minutes in one station) But there is something special. The part from north to south goes slower than the part from south to north. The last parts is a little bit bigger.

    - Disordering of attraction
    This attraction is always open, when this is closed it is actually a miracle.
