Cigoland

The name "Cigoland" is derived from "Cigogne", the French word for stork. The park--if one can call it that--is actually a stork colony. Along with the storks, there are other animals. The amusement ride section is small. The star attraction is the ever-so-popular Train de la Mine roller coaster--probably one of Soquet's finer creations . The coaster is fast paced, with some great changes of direction. Of the other rides, the stork-themed monorail covers a large percentage of the park. There is also the very poor replica of the King Kong ride that we saw a few days earlier at Le Pal. A few other family rides make up the rest of the lineup.

  2. That King Kong ride looks terrifying (not ride experience wise).
