Winja’s Fear & Winja’s Force, Indoor spinning roller coaster in Phantasialand, Brühl, Germany

Winja's Fear & Winja's Force are two steel spinning coasters by Maurer Rides inside the Wuze Town hall at Phantasialand in Brühl. Their cars, seating four with two riders facing backwards, climb a vertical lift to about 17 m and are tilted so they enter the first drop directly. The two tracks intertwine around the central Tittle Tattle Tree, and roughly half the ride runs in darkness.

Winjas opened in 2002 as one of the first indoor spinning coasters in a theme park. The ride brought together new rotating car technology with traditional roller coaster engineering.

The two coasters run through Wuze Town, a hall themed as an underground city of the fictional Wuzen people. Composer Christoph Erbse and Edwin de Groot produced a 29-minute soundtrack in three tracks for the hall, sold on CD in park shops from early 2002 to the end of 2011. The tracks circle the central Tittle Tattle Tree paratower.

Riders must be at least 1.20 m tall, with a maximum height of 2.00 m, and at least 6 years old. The whole ride takes place inside the Wuze Town hall, so weather does not affect it. About half the track can be watched from the hall; the rest runs in darkness. The attraction is not accessible for wheelchair users.

Just before the station, both tracks have a short section where the rails dip and then rise again, an effect meant to surprise first-time riders. The cars are raised about 17 m by a vertical lift that tilts them forward so they roll straight into the first drop.
