🔺How are the wheels of the Vogel Rok roller coaster at the Efteling made, and why is this much more complex than you think? In this episode, we explore all the aspects of keeping a roller coaster on track. Why is there so much variation among roller coaster wheels, and why are they so crucial? We delve into everything about roller coaster wheels, from their manufacturing process to how the Efteling inspects them daily! We take a backstage look at the classic Vogel Rok roller coaster at the Efteling and walk through the factory of Vulkoprin, the largest supplier of roller coaster wheels in the world! 🔺
