Sirocco, Amusement ride in Efteling, Netherlands.
Sirocco is an amusement ride featuring twelve rotating boats where visitors experience a simulated storm at sea with spinning motions and special effects. The ride combines physical movements with lighting and sound effects throughout the journey.
The ride opened in January 2022 as a replacement for an earlier attraction, following a 2.8 million euro investment in creating the new installation. This modernization brought updated technology and a fresh theme to the park.
The ride draws from Sindbad the Sailor stories and showcases maritime adventures from Middle Eastern tales through its design. Visitors notice these themes in the decoration and storytelling elements throughout.
Children under 1 meter (3 feet) tall require adult supervision, and wheelchair accessibility is available with transfer assistance provided. Visitors with questions about requirements or access should speak with staff members before boarding.
The ride uses flash effects, loud sounds, and unexpected movements to create an intense sensory experience. This combination of stimuli makes each journey memorable for visitors.
