Xpress: Platform 13, Steel roller coaster at Walibi Holland, Netherlands
Xpress: Platform 13 is a steel roller coaster at Walibi Holland that sends riders through sharp turns and multiple inversions at high speeds along its metal track. The compact layout delivers intense turns in quick succession as it moves through the theme park.
The ride was added during the park's transformation from its original purpose as an educational venue called Flevohof. This shift marked the transition toward modern amusement attractions for visitors.
The ride draws on railway themes, reflecting how Dutch culture values advanced transportation and innovation. Visitors experience a celebration of speed and engineering that connects to local traditions of technical achievement.
Visitors should store personal items in lockers before boarding and must meet the minimum height requirement of 1.20 m. The ride is intense, so be prepared for rapid direction changes and strong forces.
The track focuses on rapid turns rather than steep drops, creating a different kind of thrill than traditional coasters. Riders notice constant acceleration through curves that never allows a moment of rest.
