Flying Jumbo – Badjou / Haverals

What it’s like to ride Flying Jumbo Badjou

You and your child climb into one of the little elephants. As soon as the carousel starts turning, the gondolas rise into the air on their arms. This lets you fly together in a circle above the funfair. On many Jumbo carousels, children can control the height themselves using a lever. You can find out on site whether this is the case with this ride.

The ride is gentle and easy to follow. That’s why it is the first step into the world of flying carousels for many children.

Who is the children’s carousel suitable for?

Flying Jumbo is mainly aimed at younger children and their parents. The ticket booth will tell you whether children can ride alone or need an accompanying adult. Adults often simply ride along. It’s also worth watching a round first, so your child can see what to expect. Good to know: children riding for the first time usually feel safer with an adult by their side.
