Booster / Powerpark

Booster is considered to be among the best thrillrides ever built. The ride consists of a giant arm that has freely swinging cars on its each end. When Booster's arm starts rotating around, the small swinging cars will flip upside-down every time they go past the ride's highest part. The best thing in Booster is when the car flips around as late as possible near the loading platform, so that you'll go head first towards the ground. That is best achieved when the gondola is balanced so that there is a bit more weight on the other side.

Starting from 2005, the ride requires extra tickets which cost 4€ with a wristband or 8€ without one. This arrangement was made because the ride has very low capacity.
