This year Dennlys Parc in France will debut Squadron 33, a new interactive ride, as well as a new water playground.

Squadron 33 will be an 'Aerobat' attraction from Italian ride manufacturer Technical Park, which features 14 spinning seats supported by arms from a rotating centre raised 45° above the ground. Riders control 2 independent side wings to spin themselves in either direction.

It is a reinvention of a classic 'Paratrooper' ride with added interactivity to create an individual experience, as each rider can control the level of spin.
