Eurosat, Enclosed roller coaster in Europa-Park, Rust, Germany
Eurosat – CanCan Coaster is a steel roller coaster inside a silver geodesic dome 45 meters high, the largest in Germany, built from 1,504 triangles by the Würzburg firm Mero. Its track runs in darkness at about 60 km/h, and since 2018 the entrance area includes a replica of the red Moulin Rouge windmill.
The coaster opened on August 5, 1989, with black tracks and supports as part of the park's French themed area. In 2018 it underwent a major rebuild and reopened with new theming as Eurosat CanCan Coaster.
Since 2018 the entrance area has reproduced the red windmill of the Moulin Rouge, tying the ride to the French themed section. The coaster's name refers to the cancan, and the dome was once decorated as the world's largest football for the 2006 World Cup.
Seven trains carry fourteen riders each in single rows arranged two across, moving about 1600 people per hour through the attraction. A virtual reality option is available that starts in the waiting area and continues throughout the entire ride.
The dome is 45 metres high and the largest in Germany, assembled from 1,504 triangles by the Würzburg firm Mero. For Halloween the sphere was draped in orange fabric to become a pumpkin, and for the 2006 football World Cup it was turned into the world's largest football.
