Europa-Park has over 100 rides, including a dozen world-class roller coasters. But the secret weapon? It’s divided into themed sections representing European countries. You can go from a Viking flume ride in Scandinavia to a silver mine in Portugal without breaking a sweat.
And get this: the park is actually run by the family who built it. The Mack family—legendary ride manufacturers—designed almost everything themselves. They literally built the park to show off their own coaster technology. Talk about an ego trip we can all enjoy.
The Coasters That Will Wreck Your Day (In a Good Way)
Let’s talk about “Silver Star”. It’s a hypercoaster that drops you from 240 feet at 78 mph. On a clear day, you can see France while plummeting to your apparent doom. My stomach is still somewhere in the Swiss section.
Then there’s “Blue Fire”, a launched coaster that shoots you from 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds. It also does an inline twist so smooth, you’ll forget you’re screaming. Pro tip: don’t eat the giant pretzel before riding this one.

But the absolute mad lad of the park is “Voltron Nevera.” It debuted in 2026 and features the world’s first “stall loop”—your train literally pauses upside down before falling. It’s like the ride is glitching, but on purpose. Pure Germanic engineering meets beautiful chaos.
