Turnstile Tuesday – Merlin’s Mayhem at Dutch Wonderland

Merlin’s Mayhem at Dutch Wonderland is SFNE Online’s featured ride for this week’s Turnstile Tuesday.

This family friendly inverted coaster from S&S – Sansei Technologies was designed with Dutch Wonderland’s core demographic in mind. It provides younger thrill seekers a 60ft tall inverted coaster that twists and turns through the park even diving through a tunnel towards the end of the ride experience.

Merlin’s Mayhem features the storyline of Merlin the Magician and his adventures with his best friend, which happens to be a mischievous dragon, named Mayhem. Throughout the queue the story is developed up to the point that you board the train. From here onboard audio takes over with the plot being you are now assisting Merlin with helping to find Mayhem as you climb the lift. When you arrive back in the station you have successful found Mayhem however, spoiler alert, there are multiple video endings which all feature Mayhem running off yet again.
