Adventureland theme park, now a part of Palace Entertainment, has made a major announcement about some exciting additions for the park's 2023 season.  Joining the park's lineup of rides and attractions will be the Flying Viking family roller coaster and the Draken Falls log flume attractions, which are intertwined with each other.

The attractions will be located in the center of the theme park and feature a Viking theme throughout.  It is pretty neat that the park is building both attractions at the same time to create a fully themed and very cool looking new area for visitors to explore.

The Flying Viking family roller coaster will take riders up and around the area from a maximum height of 50 feet.  The ride travels 1,312 feet of coaster track at a top speed of 26 miles per hour - again this is designed to be a family coaster so no huge top speeds or drops here.  The Flying Viking only requires a 36 height requirement with an adult, or 42 inches to ride alone.

Under and surrounding the roller coaster is Draken Falls, a new log flume that features 1,214 feet of meandering adventure.  The flume features a 40 foot drop and a maximum speed of 34 miles per hour.  There are two separate drops that the six passenger boats will encounter over the six minute journey.  Hooray for more log flumes being built!  Both the coaster and log flume are being supplied for the park by Zamperla.

Both the Flying Viking coaster and Draken Falls log flume are planned to open at Adventureland in summer 2023.  And if you thought this combination looks a bit familiar, yes, it is very very similar to what is almost ready to open at Luna Park in Coney Island.
