    Scorpios

    Scorpios is the newest thrill flat-ride of Toverland. It is a swinging ship built by Mettalbau emmeln. The ship is 16 meter long, and goes up to 15 meter, with an inclination of 75 degrees the ship will reach a top speed of 42 kilometer per hour. That is enough for airtime! A thing that most swinging ships won't have because they go to 60 degrees. Scorpios is also a special one with it's unique theming, the fountains and the music in the ship.



    Scorpios is a popular flatride in Toverland, and you can even get wet when the boat touches the water fountains. The waiting area and the landscape around the ship is also themed making it a pretty nice swinging ship to see. Scorpios is based on the greek mythology of Troy, the ride is for that reason located in the Troy area, together with the rollercoaster Troy, and the kiddy ride, De Paarden van Ithaka.

     Did you know:
    That Scorpios was together with De Paarden van Ithaka not announced as the new rides for the year 2010. Toverland kept it as a surprise. When start building most fans thought they were building something for food, untill there was a swinging ship! Good surprise!

    - Popularity Attraction
    This ride is pretty popular since it is the only real thrill flatride of the park. All the other thrills are tracked rides, and all the flatrides are family or kiddy rides.

    - Waiting Times
    The waiting times are most of the time between 0 and 5 minutes.

    - Theming attraction
    The ride is themed to the troy area, there is a village house for the controll room and waiting area. But the ship is decorated to a scorpion ship. The area around it is also pretty nice decorated. For a swinging ship we think that this is the best one ever done.


    - Riding Time
    The riding time is one minute and 50 seconds.

    - Disordering of attraction
    This ride is almost always open, but in the winter with the frost the ride is closed.
