New water coaster Krampus Expédition is now open at French theme park Nigloland.

The exciting €12 million attraction (the park's largest investment ever) from the German manufacturer Mack Rides is 600 metres long, 28 metres tall and delivers 3.5G in force.

In the theme for the new ride, Nigloland has brought the forgotten legend of the Alps back to life.

In folklore, Krampus is a horned figure that's half-goat and half-demon, who punishes children who have misbehaved. It has been popularised in films such as Krampus (2015).

Explore the world of the high mountain, wild rivers with canyons and incredible waterfalls on the journey towards the ride’s final destination: the cave that sheltered this mysterious beast. Explorers will have to show bravery when they come face to face with the primitive and wild Krampus monster!
