Since its opening, the attraction has become the park’s most popular. Visitors gave it a score of 9.5 out of 10. Just that!
No need to go far to experience great thrills! In France, several amusement parks offer different types of thrill rides. In this area, adrenaline fans will undoubtedly know the famous Toutatis at Parc Astérix, Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain or Avengers Assemble: Flight Force at Disneyland Paris. We find them in large French parks, but there are also others elsewhere, where we don’t expect them. Proof of this is that on October 25, a prize was awarded to a park on a human scale, which has nothing to envy of the biggest, this is Walibi Rhône-Alpes, located in the commune of Les Avenières, in about an hour from Lyon and Grenoble.
If today he is in the spotlight, it is because he was rewarded by the Italian site Parksmania, specializing in leisure parks, for its very latest attraction launched in 2024. Its name: Mahuka which means “to escape” in Hawaiian. The latter was awarded for being one of the seven best new European attractions of the year. Also last September, Mahuka won over the jurors at the ParkScoutplus Awards in Germany, who ranked it 4th “Best European New Product of the Year”. Its concept is also unique in Europe!
The Mahuka attraction is located in the Exotic Island area of the park, and for good reason. Once settled in their seats, visitors become archaeologists in search of an abandoned temple, erected in honor of the God of Fire, on an island in the South Pacific. They must go on an adventure, without being detected, at the risk of being imprisoned in the temple. The strong sensations are also there. Passengers will experience two powered departures which will launch the trains at a maximum speed of 67 km/h and no less than 13 moments of weightlessness! All without any loved ones at their side, because the places are individual. See for yourself by watching the video shot by the park, at the top of the article.
And rest assured, the Mahuka attraction is not just for adults. It is accessible to children measuring 120 centimeters and over. In any case, since its opening on June 15, it has been talked about. Mahuka has even become the most popular attraction in Walibi Rhône-Alpes, with a rating of 9.5 out of 10 given by visitors!
