Europa Park CEO Michael Mack has shared an update on the park’s upcoming Voltron Nevera coaster, with new footage showing ride testing ahead of the ride’s opening later this year.
Posting on X (formerly Twitter) Mack declared the ride to be “magnificently moving” as testing continued.
Created by Mack Rides, Voltron Nevera is a steel coaster set to open in Europa-Park’s new Croatia-themed area, the first major new coaster to come to the German theme park in 12 years.
Reaching speeds of up to 55.9mph (90kmph) and a maximum height of 105ft (32m) the ride is Europa-Park’s 14th rollercoaster and is themed after the electricity experiments of the Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla.
With a length of 1,385m (4544ft), the ride will become the longest multi-launch coaster in Europe, while its 105 degree launch makes it the steepest of its kind in the world. Voltron Nevera also features seven inversions, four launches and 2.2 seconds of continuous weightlessness. The ride model is a Mack Stryker Coaster, which is the first of its kind in the world.
The ride’s station is inspired by Wardenclyffe Tower - an early experimental wireless transmission station which was both built and designed by Tesla.
Powered by Rimac, the ride also pays tribute to Croatian vehicle manufacturer Rimac Automobili and its founder Mate Rimac.
Voltron Nevera is complemented by a new 4D film produced by Magic Mack, which tells the story of Tesla.
