Silver Star, Steel roller coaster in Europa-Park, Rust, Germany
Silver Star is a steel roller coaster in the French-themed section of Europa-Park that reaches 73 meters high and spans 1,620 meters of track. The ride features multiple camelback hills and was designed by Bolliger & Mabillard, the Swiss manufacturer known for smooth, precise engineering.
The coaster opened in 2002 and was the tallest roller coaster constructed by Bolliger & Mabillard in Europe at that time. Its debut marked a milestone in modern steel coaster design with innovative hill configurations.
Mercedes-Benz partners with this attraction, blending automotive design philosophy into the ride experience within the park's French-themed section. The connection between German engineering and the coaster's smooth, powerful performance is something visitors feel throughout the journey.
Visitors must be at least 140 centimeters tall and can test their fit using the sample seat at the entrance before waiting in line. This simple check helps you avoid joining the queue if you don't meet the height requirement.
Riders experience up to 20 seconds of weightlessness combined with forces reaching 4G during the three-minute journey. These intense sensations come from the specially designed hills that create sudden directional changes and moments when gravity seems to disappear.
