El Volador, Amusement ride at Bellewaerde, Belgium.
El Volador is a rotating ride at Bellewaerde that lifts passengers while moving them in multiple directions simultaneously. The machine combines vertical elevation with tilting and spinning motions, creating a dynamic experience where riders feel motion from all angles.
