Pagoda is an unobtrusive variation of an observation tower in the Efteling amusement park in the Netherlands. It was designed by Ton van de Ven and started operating in 1987.History and detailsThe Pagoda, developed by Intamin as a flying island, is described by Efteling as a "flying temple".It consists of a 155 tons weighing cabin and a 225-ton hydraulic arm which pivots it from the ground up to a height of 60 metres.The counterweight of 340 tons sinks 30 metres into the ground.To maintain the balance of the cabin itself the weight of the 100 visitors is distributed over its two sides. The rotating cabin has a 15 metre high pagoda on top of it.Etymology studies indicated that the word pagoda means tomb in Thai (ธาตุเจดีย). Preoccupied with upsetting a whole nation, as with Fata Morgana, Efteling choose the Dutch word "pagode" as the ride name.Ride length: 4 minutes Ride capacity: 1500 passengers/ hour Cost: €3.6 million
