A train about to leave Spatiale Expérience's station
Nigloland's Spatiale Expérience is the theme park's indoor rollercoaster, which takes riders on a journey into space in an experience more than a little reminiscent of Disney's Space Mountain.
Nigloland's coaster comes from Mack Rides, and uses the same trains and track design as the company's original Eurosat rollercoaster at Europa Park in Germany.
Although on a smaller scale to its German brother, Spatiale Expérience shares elements in common such as the spiral lift hill, and the general space theme which has trains flying past planets and asteroids lit up in the otherwise near-complete darkness of the ride building.
The ride's station looks very retro-futuristic, with metal wall panels and various computers and flashing lights which help enhance the astronaut space mission atmosphere.
Also similar to Eurosat, despite being smooth overall the ride itself is quite violent, with quite a few jolts and bangs during the journey.
Spatiale Expérience is, though, a classic coaster which begs forgiveness for some of the roughness in exchange for the fun layout through the darkness, a few insane moments of crowd-pleasing forces, and a very vibe-y soundtrack.
