    The Piraña (this ride), is an Inca-style river rapid ride and got there in 1983, being one of the first river rapids. The ride time can take up to 8 minutes and the musical theme was added in 2005. There are some amazing hidden details in Piraña, like a boat with a tent on it next to the terrace on Piraña Square. And some sort of tavern inside the station where you can see a table with fruits and a chair with a blanket on it. There’s also Piraña Island, the ‘island’ which is surrounded by the river. There are some interactive elements so you can wet people in the ride. And you can get on the roof there.

    Did you know that this was actually the second rapid river in the world? (Astroworld had the first) so this is now the oldest still operating rapid in the world and i think it's still a lot of fun and the main reason why a lot of these rides have a south american/maya theming.

      Of course, it's the ONLY one in the world, which is not strictly channeled. You can bump around, overhaul another raft and even get stuck with 2 at such a narrow portal... on purpose.. when 2 are stuck, from control central they let turn around the "bumper barrels" aside, so that the rafts get freed :-)

    Strange way of showing the rapids. First some scenes from the fairytale forest which is not even near the rapids. To be on the rapids at the end. It makes it look like that the attraction has a fairy tail waiting line.

    • @TrojTV
      @TrojTV 5 років тому +2

      To eleborate on Down86, the fairytale forest is one of the many rides and attractions the Efteling Themepark has to offer. It's a completely on it's on themed area of the park. The park is devided in several different "realms"; Reizenrijk (journey realm), Marerealm (story realm in which the fairytale forest is located), fantasierijk (fantasy realm... The main entrance stretch and home to the parks mascotte), anderrijk (other realm) and ruigrijk (rough realm, where all or most the thrill rides are located, as well as the Piraña while that does stand out a bit with it's Inca theme next to a German themed coaster).

    Every time the ride is different.
    One time I had two large gulfs of water right in my lap and back, sometimes the boat goes under the last big waterfall, sometimes bumping other boats, sometimes the boat spins more, sometimes the statues spit in the boat, sometimes when you hit a wave the water hits someone in the boat, etc. It's a good laugh when someone else gets a good splash, ah well sometimes it's my turn 😁.

    Seeing raft #9 briefly get ahead made me realize why these rides rarely let the water get wide enough for that kind of thing to happen. It creates the possibility of two rafts getting stuck on each other when it gets narrow again.

      Valid statement! The Efteling has confirmed that both Piranha (this ride) and the flying dutchmqn (a hybrid darkride/watercoaster) are pretty expensive to maintain. That's also the reason why disneyland Paris doesn't have any outdoor water attractions beceause they just can't afford it

Especially in the past few summers it is more than hot enough to dry you of, and in winter those rides are closed :) but it is true that the amount of people who ride it on a daily basis is really dependend on the weather, even more so than other rides. Annother reason why it's les cost/efficient, and why dp has so many indoor rides. But overall it is really not as bad as it may seem.
