    Vogelrok

    You see the big bird watching to all the people beneath him. It's Vogelrok. The biggest bird on the world. He can make the sun totally dark. Just pass him, and you will find a very cool indoor coaster. More birds are waiting for you, and you will travel the same journey that sinbad did. Earlier this coaster had a laser show, and a huge waiting line. The waiting line had 3 rooms, a big one, a small one, and the station. Later a smaller one has been added with glasses, so you should see the coaster passing by. In 2007 this rooms has been removed, because the waiting line was never longer than the station (20 minutes) So they have now one single line, with the station. Sometimes, like 5 days in the year, the waiting line will be 30 minutes.
    The old waiting line totally full will have a waiting line for 2 hours. And weird enough it was full sometimes in the starting years.



    This coaster has 3 trains, most of the time running with 2. The cappacity is always very good, and the speed, and music inside the hall makes this a very funny coaster. It is dark, you will see some lights. But the real fact is, that the music in the trains goes exactly the same as the ride.

     Did you know:
    Ruud Bos, the componist of this soundtrack was scared to ride the roller coaster. So they gave him the drawings of the coaster, and a 3D model on how fast it will go. So he could make the music fitting perfect on the ride. And we have to say, it was a great succes.

    - Popularity Attraction
    Everyone in the netherlands does know this coaster, the most of the visitors ride it when they are in the efteling. But the cappacity is so great, that you will never see a long waiting line. The popularity is really 8 stars!


    - Waiting Times
    5 minutes, or less. In the summer it is possible to have waiting lines from 15, to 30 minutes. But the line moves fast. you won't stand still longer than one minute.

    - Theming attraction
    The big bird is just great, the waiting line, is also great. The ride self is not so perfect. It is very dark, and you will see some birds, and lasers. It must be more to get the WOW feeling. But for the regular visitor it is already cool. This coaster must have it from the continuous speed, what's actually very good. We have a tip for a better ride. During the 7 mijls zomer, there are summer-nights when the park is open from 10.00 to 24.00. Some visitors are taking breaklights in the attraction, and drops it down. You will see the whole hall lightning up. And that is actually a very cool effect!


    - Riding Time
    The riding time is 1.35. A little bit short, but due the short waiting line you can always ride it again if you want!

    - Disordering of attraction
    This attraction is always open. in april this attraction is closed for a week or 3, for maintenace.
