In crystal-clear VR, you’ll never have more fun!

Who is this ride for?
The XD Dark Ride offers fantastic fun for almost everyone! Our variety of rides have a thrill meter rating to indicate the intensity as some rides are scarier than others. Los Banditos and Pirates are more suitable for younger children. Carnival, Zombies, Werewolves and Gigamon scare some of us … but are an absolute blast!
-
How long does the ride take?
Each ride lasts from four to six minutes, which is almost three times longer than a regular roller coaster
-
Will I get motion sickness?
Motion sickness is very unlikely on the XD Dark Ride! XD means accurate dynamic motion – meaning your motion matches your visual experience – and so effectively eliminates sickness.
