The hit will once again be the Spinning Barrels – a spinning coaster that will make even the boldest adventurers dizzy! Let the Christmas rush give way for a moment to shared fun that will warm your hearts. Best of all? One ticket is the key to every one of these attractions!
The Spinning Barrels are back to sweep you away!
If you missed the wild ride on the “Spinning Barrels” last year, it is time to catch up! This remarkable attraction in the AmberSky Christmas Travel Corner has already won the hearts of visitors to the Christmas Market and once again invites you on a dizzying ride full of thrills. “Spinning Barrels” – a family spinning coaster – is a real treat for adventure seekers of any age. The main structure turns in a figure of eight on a track of varying height, along which barrel-carriages race, spinning around their own axis as well! Thanks to different speeds depending on the number of passengers and their weight, every ride is different – unpredictable and full of thrills that will warm you up even on the coldest day. The attraction is a technological marvel: 12 synchronised motors pull the carriages up, then let them roll down by gravity in a ride full of excitement. 16 people can ride at the same time, and the joyful ride lasts about 3 minutes. Just remember that the minimum height to board a barrel is 95 cm.
The Gdańsk Carousel is a unique chance to escape the everyday for a moment and immerse yourself in nostalgia! Although the youngest are the biggest fans of this ride, adults are just as keen to climb aboard to feel the magic of the spinning horses and fanciful figures. Whether we spin with family or friends, or simply admire the Carousel from the side, this wonderful mechanism delights with its hand-painted decorations and beautiful lighting, which adds to its charm at any time of day. It was made in an Italian workshop and spins gracefully, although its weight is impressive – as much as 15 tonnes! On one run the Carousel holds as many as 30 people, and each ride lasts a few minutes, giving a moment of pure pleasure.
Right next to the Carousel, a real Christmas surprise awaits Market visitors – the Elf House! It is a magical place where everyone can meet Santa Claus himself. Climbing into his sleigh and putting on “magic” VR goggles, we are transported into the middle of Santa’s journey. How will Santa manage to deliver presents to all the children in the world in just one night? The answer awaits you in an exciting virtual experience full of speed, twists and tilts! The world of virtual adventure delights the senses and lets you feel like a passenger in a magical sleigh. Two films to choose from offer a 360-degree view, and right in front of the Elf House you will also meet “Katarzynka the Talking Letterbox” – a place where you can send a letter to Santa. An adventure awaits you that is hard to forget!
Put on the goggles and move into the heart of a winter wonderland. It is your only chance to soar over snow-covered peaks without freezing your ears off!
