Europa Park Highlights

Euro-Mir

Euro-Mir is definitely one of the more popular rides in this park! This space-age attraction is based on the Russian Mir Space Station. Although it may look like some regular coaster at first glance, the Euro-Mir is more than meets the eye. As you plummet down and rocket up, the small car which you will sit in will spin along in a circle. This can be a dizzying yet exciting trip!

Blue Fire

It is a new addition to the park’s pantheon. The Blue Fire is a super-thrill roller coaster and the first upside-down ride in the park. After forty seconds of anticipation combined with total darkness, the Blue Fire coaster goes from 0 to 100km/h in just 2.5 seconds while catapulting you 40 meters into the air.

Silver Star

It is no wonder that the Silver Star is one of the park’s main attraction. The fact that it is Europe’s tallest coaster (at 73 m) can be reason enough. Plus, it has speeds of up to 130 km/h and 4G forces. You will surely experience pure adrenaline as well as weightlessness through its steep drops and hairpin turns.

This ride will end with a bang as you enter the “horse shoe” — where it will launch you straight up, twist quickly to the side then fly like a bullet through a 120 degree bend.
