    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Is it ONLY BEYOND VERTICAL? The theming is indeed exceptional, transporting your senses to another level. However, the "enjoyment" your body must experience is equally intense. Here's why. My personal review after spending more than two hours in the themed area and riding five times during...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    @Niles It's not from start to finish! According to the construction permits, we know that there is an 'effect element' just before the launch. Considering the configuration, it's quite clear that it's designed to be a free fall / drop element. Additionally, there haven't been any renderings of...

    Diving show platform collapses at Europa Park

    Another major incident at EP, this time even with injuries. I'm speechless about this ongoing series of serious accidents. I still remember how Roland Mack made the safe operation of the facilities his main theme of his IAAPA presidency. In retrospect, it seems quite unsettling...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Well, the rhythm and the musical theme actually fit quite well. On the other hand, there are simply many / maybe too many themed layers that run in parallel. This makes the soundtrack (too) multilayered and complex. I can understand that this may seem overwhelming for a roller coaster -...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    True. Things are highly themed but increasinly less immersive... Even the new Voltron coaster makes you see and feel to almost go outside of the park... That's really the miracle how Phantasialand managed to go into the lead in terms of immersion despite a lot less resources in comparison to EP...

    Phantasialand | F. L. Y. | Vekoma Launched Flying Coaster | 2020

    Just to remind you: As mentioned already earlier, the excavation and concrete works took and take way longer than expected due to the amount of iron that had to be worn out and in addition water that was constantly forcing its way in. Therefore, the announcment date was chosen due to the anyways...

    Actually, there is a tiny door on this side which was surprisingly wide open - so there was absolutely no need to do some illegal stuff...

    Phantasialand | F. L. Y. | Vekoma Launched Flying Coaster | 2020

    Just a quick pictorial update on FLY and an interesting information: The concrete works are progressing slower than initially expected due to a lot of iron that had to be extracted and water that is constantly pressuring into the excavation, which is at the lowest point now.
