Polar X-plorer is a steel roller coaster at Legoland Billund in Billund, Denmark.[1] It opened on 29 April 2012 as Zierer's first coaster with a freefall drop track section.

History

On 11 October 2011, Legoland Billund announced that the park would open "Polar Land", a new area for the park. It features live penguins and a new restaurant.[2]


Ride experience

After cresting the chain lift hill, riders go through a few twists and turns before entering an indoor section, where a scene of LEGO minifigures chipping away at an ice wall with picks can be seen. Suddenly, the floor beneath the minifigures gives way and the train vertically free-falls 5 metres (16 ft) before exiting the indoor portion and going through more twists and turns before going back to the station. The ride vehicles are themed as snow mobiles.[3]
