Donderstenen, Steel roller coaster at Avonturenpark Hellendoorn, Netherlands.
Donderstenen is a steel roller coaster at Avonturenpark Hellendoorn featuring large stone structures integrated throughout its layout. The track winds through the woodland with multiple curves and descents built into the natural terrain.
The ride opened in 2005 as an expansion of the park, which started as a tea house in 1936 before growing into an amusement destination. This addition shifted the park toward modern thrill rides.
The ride reflects how Dutch parks blend engineering expertise with family entertainment. The stone theme connects visitors to the woodland setting while they experience the thrills.
Check the height requirement before boarding, as this determines whether children can ride alone. Visiting on off-peak days generally means shorter wait times for the ride.
The ride was manufactured by German company Zierer, known for detailed engineering work. This partnership between a Dutch park and German manufacturer reflects cross-border technical cooperation in the region.
