Piraña Reopens After Extensive Renovations
On Saturday, June 29, 2024, the Piraña river rapids ride at Efteling will reopen after a comprehensive renovation. The attraction, which had been closed for maintenance since November 2023, now shines with new splendor.
Enhancements and Updates
The renovation included the replacement of the iconic rock formations along the course. The new rocks provide a fresh look and improved landscape aesthetics. A significant technical upgrade is the replacement of the pump system, which now circulates 5,000 liters of water per second. Additionally, control cabinets, wiring, cables, and emergency lighting have been completely updated.
Sustainable technologies and safety measures
Efteling is increasingly focusing on sustainability and has thus converted the Piraña’s lighting to LED. New speakers and cameras have been installed along the course, enhancing safety and providing a more immersive experience. The exterior façade has been repainted, and the vegetation around the attraction has been refreshed, contributing to the natural atmosphere.
New Water Effects and Attractions
Especially exciting are the new water gods and effects integrated into the ride. Visitors can look forward to mist, water jets, and water-spouting snakes, making the adventure even more thrilling. The water flow is now adjusted according to the season and outside temperature, allowing the intensity of the ride to vary.
Enhanced Fun and New Souvenir Offerings
With the new water effects, visitors will get more thoroughly soaked, especially in the summer. The improved safety and lighting systems further enhance the ride’s appeal and safety. Next to the attraction, the new souvenir shop “Cascada” has opened, offering ride photos and themed merchandise.
