Preston & Barbieri: rollercoasters and rides
All 36 rides built by Preston & Barbieri: height, speed, inversions and ratings from riders who have been on them.
Draken stands in Energylandia's Dragon Zone and opened in 2019. Built by Italian manufacturer Preston & Barbieri, this family coaster fits a 30 by 14 metre area, reaches a height of 7.3 metres and 34.5 km/h, and welcomes riders from age four with a guardian. One train has five cars with two seats per row, carrying twenty riders around a track set in the zone's medieval town.
The Achtbaan, a steel Junior Coaster by Preston & Barbieri, offers an exciting ride for younger visitors at Kinderstad Heerlen. Passengers board one of five locomotive-themed wagons before ascending to a height of six meters. The journey then unfolds along a 135-meter track, featuring an exhilarating figure-eight layout that promises screams of delight.
Stampbanan offers a gentle introduction to roller coasters within Liseberg's family area, built low and slow enough for even the most hesitant first-timers. Its short, easy layout makes it a common stepping stone before kids move on to Rabalder or the park's larger rides, without losing the thrill of a genuine coaster experience.
