La Grande Roue sits at the end of the 'main street' of the park.
The ride is identical to the Rock n Roller Coaster at Disney.
After a few turns is the 3rd inversion, a corkscrew.
The first two inversions are a roll over.
The train launches a considerable distance into the spaghetti bowl of track.
The trains are the older Vekoma design.
Flickering lights, strange sounds, and a departure time of 6:66 give all indications that something supernatural is going on with the train you are about to board.
The dark batching area.
"Come on in, it's your master bedroom!"
Rats.
We wont spoil the effect here!
Parts of it become quite dark, like a horror walkthrough.
Eventually you reach crumbling sections of tunnel with trains roaring past.
...The further you get in the queue the more dingy it becomes, (or the more realistically New York Subway it becomes)
The full name of the ride is Xpress: Platform 13, and as the queue progresses you begin to see why....
Thankfully these lockers are just for theming.
Details like phone booths and ticket offices give it the right transportation feeling.
The queue is themed like a train station.
The ride entrance is actually located off an indoor retail area at the front of the park.
Xpress is a Vekoma coasters which uses a magnetic launch to propel riders out of a tunnel and into a tangle of track featuring 3 inversions.
