Alpenexpress Enzian

The Alpenexpress Enzian includes 10 cars accommodating 38 passengers, traveling through artificial caves and mountain landscapes at 45 kilometers per hour.

Opening in 1984 as Europa-Park's first roller coaster, Alpenexpress Enzian underwent complete reconstruction following a severe fire incident in June 2023.

The ride recreates an Austrian mining experience through the Diamond Valley, incorporating regional mountain architecture and traditional Alpine design elements.

Each car contains an electric motor drawing three-phase current through contact rails between the tracks, enabling controlled acceleration and deceleration throughout the ride.

The Alpenexpress introduced the first combination of roller coaster technology with virtual reality headsets, allowing riders to experience digital worlds while maintaining physical sensations.
