(eap) “Let’s twist, fly, climb” – the Loop5 near Darmstadt (Germany) continues to evolve from a shopping centre to an experience centre. “We are currently turning the entire Loop5 around. Everything is different, much more cheerful and colourful and we are delighted with the great response to our entertainment concept,” states Tobias Hein, Operations Manager of Ivents Entertainment GmbH, responsible for the rides at Loop5.
Attractions such as a cupcake carousel from SBF Visa, a zip coaster and a climbing structure from Walltopia as well as a slide tower from Wiegand Slide have been delighting visitors for some time now. The latter is said to have already recorded over a million slides since it opened last year. Most recently, the “Sky Twister”, an around 15-metre-high “Drop’n Twist” family freefall tower from SBF Visa, has opened. Up to eight people can go up and down and round at the same time. Riders must be at least 1.20 metres tall and six years of age.
