Alpina Blitz is a steel roller coaster located at Nigloland in Dolancourt, France. It was manufactured by German manufacturer Mack Rides and opened on 12 April 2014. The ride reaches a height of 33m (108feet), reaches a maximum speed of 83km/h, and has a track length of 719m (2,359feet).[1]
Immediately after departing the station, the train begins to ascend the 33m (108feet) lift hill. Following the main drop, the train makes a banked turn to the right before ascending into a twisting hill that passes underneath the lift hill. The train then travels into a straight hill before travelling through another banked right-hand turn. The train then travels over a series of small twisting hills before entering a banked left turn. Following this turn, the train travels over three small hills before turning left into the brake run.[2]
Alpina Blitz uses two trains, each with four cars that seat four riders each; this allows a total of 16 riders per train.
Following the introduction of Alpina Blitz, Nigloland reported a 7% increase in attendance compared to the previous year.[3]
