Illuminated onride on the log flume „Dora’s Big River Adventure“ in the Movie Park Germany in Bottrop-Kirchhellen. The plant of the Italian manufacturer Preston and Barbieri was built in 2008 as an extension of Nickland. Thematically, the attraction is based on the children's series Dora by the broadcaster Nickelodeon, with which there is a cooperation on the part of the Movie Park. The route of the ride is partially housed in a pink, artificial mountain, which has a waterfall.
After leaving the station, the boat first steers into the mountains in order to drive through a 180° right-hand bend inside. The inner walls of the mountain range are occasionally illuminated by lasers. Then the boat is pulled back out of the mountain by a conveyor belt and brought to a height of 6 m, before going down the first of the two descents. At the foot of the shot drive, the boat passes through a small, spray-filled cave. Now the boat turns into a 180° left turn and then moves to the second transport lift. On it it drops a height difference of 13 m. Once at the top, it starts a gravity ride on its four wheels through another 180 ° left turn, then descend the second and final descent. When braking, which is done by the water, water from nozzles is sprayed several meters high and then, depending on the weather, also the spectators of the ride. This is followed by the return to the station area.
The ride was recorded in favor of the better sound with a camcorder without water jacket.
