Pulsar

Pulsar is a steel launched shuttle roller coaster at Walibi Belgium in Wavre that operates with forward and backward motions. The ride lifts passengers to a 45-meter spike, sends them racing forward and then backward through a splashdown zone, repeating this sequence during the full experience.

Construction of this Mack Rides PowerSplash model began in 2015 and it opened to the public in 2016. At that time it stood as Belgium's tallest roller coaster, setting a new standard for the park's entertainment offerings.

Theme park visitors come to experience this high-speed attraction as a go-to ride for those seeking intense thrills and rapid sensations. The combination of water effects and sudden drops has become a signature feature that draws repeat visitors and families looking for excitement.

The ride processes up to 950 passengers per hour, with each train holding 20 people arranged in five rows. An efficient turntable loading system keeps the boarding process fast, helping manage lines during busy times.

The ride reaches speeds around 100 kilometers per hour during its roughly 78-second journey. What sets it apart is the repeated switching between forward and backward motions, creating multiple moments of weightlessness and reverse acceleration that catch riders off guard.
