Ride experience at Aqua Velis

In Aqua Velis, you find your way on foot. Transparent water tubes, winding corridors and obstacles keep changing your sense of direction. The underwater world provides the setting for a walk-through attraction where you stay active throughout. Across three levels, finding the next passage and testing your own agility go hand in hand. Unlike a ghost train, there is no carriage to carry you through the attraction. As you walk, you decide where to take your next step.

Technology and data

The following values describe the specifically named attraction. Set-up dimensions refer to the assembled ride; for rides that rise, the maximum movement height does not indicate the free-fall distance. The number of seats describes simultaneous occupancy, not hourly passenger capacity.

The actual ride duration and programme may vary between engagements. Check the information at the ride if you want to experience a particular ride variation.

History of Aqua Velis

The Dietz ride was built in 1996. Ride-Index documents its debut on 24 July 1996 at the Dresden Summer Vogelwiese. The Hofmann family, who operate it, describe Aqua Velis on their own website as a water fun maze.

Operator

Hannes Hofmann operates this ride as a travelling attraction. When searching for dates, use a combination of the show name and operator: attractions with similar names may have a different design and their own history. You can find confirmed appearances in the funfair dates.

Tips for your visit

Make your way through the course carefully and keep your distance from guests ahead of you. If you are visiting with young children, it is worth asking which obstacles you can tackle together before buying tickets. Fares and participation conditions are set or displayed at each venue. Before buying, ask about the minimum height and age requirements and whether supervision is required. When boarding, follow the instructions and stow loose items as directed by the team.
