Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

[VonRolland]

Dude, I will totally go for a ride. As mentioned, I want it to prove me wrong And if it turns out to be the best ride at the park (which it is still likely to be), I will ride the hell out of it for sure. Sorry, but you will have to wait behind me

I'll race you from Italy

Europa will be open for a pre-season preview event on March 17th, but if you hope for Voltron to be ready by then, well…

No one expected a preview so that's unsurprising, hopefully open first couple of weekends fingers crossed

It says the same if you pick every available day on the calendar. They don't seem to have an opening date pinned down.

2024 and people are still arguing about whether a ride looks slow in testing. Some things never change.

 

[VonRolland]

Well it certainly doesn't look slow in this

I just hope it can avoid the rattle Lost Gravity suffers from. That thing can really justle you around if you're in the outer seats.

 

[Peter Immelmann]

Dynamite is reasonably smooth also on the outer seats, so I'm quite optimistic they have already solved the problem (and probably further improved it).

 

[ScottLann]

Those outer seats on the back row of this look like they're going to provide some serious whip! Looks great.

I think the pacing looks pretty damn good already. After riding lost gravity last year, and RTH being my number 1, I have pretty high hopes for this coaster. I didn’t even find the wing seats on lost gravity that bad.

I think this looks like it’s going to be pretty whippy. Seeing it take that beyond vertical launch, into the inverted top hat, into that downwards roll… that is a wild combo of elements right there already. It’s so exciting to see Mack continuously push their boundaries now. Can’t wait to see how that all rides, particularly in those wing seats so you get extra whip.

Also, I know we’ve said it before. But those trains… they are a beautiful thing!

Can't seem to attach the video but the turntable appears to be getting blocked in & excitingly 2 full trains are now cycling together

Looks like it’s absolutely flying now. The airtime hill after that stall looks like it’s going to try eject you, and the roll after the initial launch looks quick.

 

[Dimmu1979]

That airtime hill, rr the video is accelerated or it seems too intense. We can say everything except "it looks slow"

 

[ScottLann]

The more I'm seeing of this coaster, the more I'm really starting to look into booking a trip to Europa.

This coaster looks perfect, honestly - it looks to have pretty much all of my favourite kind of elements packed into one coaster, with an extra bit of Europa theming.
