Wodan Timburcoaster

Wodan Timburcoaster is Europe's longest wooden roller coaster at 1,050 metres of track, opened in 2012 in the Iceland area of Europa-Park. The Viking-themed ride reaches 100 km/h and runs for 73 seconds with the distinct rattling character of a wooden-track design. No inversions but considerable airtime and lateral forces through the 18 airtime hills and 5 drops. Minimum height 120 cm. The queue structure itself is elaborately themed as a Viking ship's underbelly. Middle cars give the best balance of airtime and forward visibility; the back row is the most intense for airtime but the rattle is stronger. Wooden-coaster enthusiasts rank Wodan with Phantasialand's Taron as the best wooden coaster in Germany. Queues are typically 20-40 minutes after the initial morning Silver Star rush, so it is a good afternoon ride on a full-day plan.
