Pegasus, Family roller coaster in Europa-Park, Germany
Pegasus is a steel roller coaster located at Europa-Park with an excavation site theme and a height of 13 meters. The ride reaches speeds up to 65 kilometers per hour (40 miles per hour) and carries 18 passengers per train.
The ride opened in 2006 and became the ninth roller coaster added to the park. It introduced a new manufacturing approach that improved track smoothness compared to earlier installations.
The queue winds through a recreated dig site where visitors encounter antique tools and artifacts displayed throughout the waiting area. These details reinforce the adventure theme and create a sense of exploration before boarding.
Children as young as 4 years old or with a minimum height of 100 centimeters (39 inches) may ride. Visiting early in the morning or later in the evening typically means shorter wait times.
The track includes banked turns reaching angles up to 86 degrees, creating an intense riding experience. The braking system uses eddy current technology, a feature that appeared for the first time on a coaster from this manufacturer.
