Characteristics
Ride experience
Immediately after departing the station, the train begins to ascend the 33-metre (108 ft) 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][1]
Trains
Alpina Blitz uses two trains, each with four cars that seat four riders each; this allows a total of 16 riders per train.[1]
Reception
Following the introduction of Alpina Blitz, Nigloland reported a 7% increase in attendance compared to the previous year.[3]
