Disco Star Hayen is a travelling ride operated by Belgian showman Joeri Hayen. Belgian line-ups of rides list it under the ride type “Bidule”. Such rides typically have moving passenger carriers that offer more than a simple circular ride. The name also suggests music and a party atmosphere. At the Oktoberfoor in Ostende, Disco Star is one of the more lively rides.

What it’s like to ride Disco Star Hayen
The passenger carriers move in several directions during the ride. This means the speed and your direction of view keep changing, making it much livelier than an ordinary carousel. The operator also sets the pace with the ride programme, so no two rounds are the same. The best way to experience the music and lights bringing the ride to life in the evening is to see it for yourself.
The best way to see exactly how this ride moves is to watch a full round before getting on.

Who is this ride suitable for?
Disco Star is aimed mainly at teenagers and adults who enjoy quick changes of direction. Older children often ride too, provided they meet the minimum height requirement. You can find out which rules apply at the entrance. If you are sensitive to spinning movements, it is better to try a gentler carousel first. Stow loose items safely before the ride, for example in a zipped jacket pocket.
