Search Europa-Park roller coasters or Voltron and you often get Voletarium or a dark ride mixed in. Europa-Park in Rust has fourteen real coasters. Pirates in Batavia is not one of them: the boat floats, but it does not run on rails.
Written in September 2026. Opening, downtime and queues change daily — always open the Europa-Park live wait times before you sprint to Croatia or Iceland.
How many coasters does Europa-Park have?
Fourteen. Four thrill coasters, two indoor classics, six family or mid-rides and two water coasters. Eurosat Coastiality is not a fifteenth: it is the same Eurosat track with a VR headset.
| Ride | Type | Min. height | When to pick it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voltron | Mack multi-launch (Croatia, 2024) | 130 cm | The magnet: 100 km/h, inversions, several launches. Start the day here. |
| Silver Star | B&M hyper (Monaco, 2002) | 140 cm | The tallest: 73 m, 127 km/h, no inversion. The strictest pole. |
| Blue Fire | Mack launch (Iceland, 2009) | 130 cm | Launch plus inversions, without Silver Star’s height. |
| Wodan | Wooden GCI (Iceland, 2012) | 120 cm | Wood next to Blue Fire. No inversions, plenty of airtime. |
| Euro-Mir | Mack spinning (Russia, 1997) | 130 cm | Spinning gondolas, helix. Indoor feel, different taste. |
| Eurosat | Indoor Mack (France, 1989, CanCan since 2018) | 120 cm | Dark, rain-proof, the French classic. |
| Matterhorn-Blitz | Wild mouse (Switzerland, 1999) | 120 cm | Tight turns, sudden drops. Not a hyper, still sharp. |
| Swiss Bob Run | Bobsled (Switzerland, 1985) | 120 cm | You slide in a tub, not a train like Voltron. |
| Arthur | Powered inverted (Minimoys, 2014) | 100 cm | Hang upside down, no thrill. Queues more than it looks. |
| Pegasus | Mack family (Greece, 2006) | 100 cm | First “real” coaster for kids next to Poseidon. |
| Alpenexpress Enzian | Powered classic (Austria) | 90 cm | Dark tunnel, no launch. The starter. |
| Ba-a-a Express | Kiddie (Ireland, 2016) | 90 cm | Mini. Only if a small child really wants a coaster. |
| Poseidon | Water coaster (Greece, 2000) | 120 cm | Boat first, rails second. Wet, not a looping coaster. |
| Atlantica SuperSplash | SuperSplash (Portugal, 2005) | 100 cm | Big splash, 80 km/h. Count it as a coaster, plan it as water. |
That height gap decides the day. A child at 115 cm can ride Arthur, Pegasus, Enzian and Atlantica, often misses Wodan and Eurosat, and never boards Silver Star. That is why Silver Star minimum height matters: 140 cm, the strictest pole of the fourteen.
Voltron, Silver Star, Blue Fire or Wodan?
Four rides fight for the morning. Not Pegasus. Not the bob.
Voltron is Croatia’s newcomer: several launches, inversions, 32.5 metres, 100 km/h. On the days we follow, this is the queue the rest of the park turns around — in September it sat around half an hour more often than Silver Star. Start here only if the live waits allow it.
Silver Star is Monaco’s hyper: 73 metres, 127 km/h, no inversion, 140 cm. Want height without going upside down? This is the one. The pole is stricter than Voltron. At 135 cm you can ride Voltron and Blue Fire, not Silver Star.
Blue Fire shares Iceland with Wodan: launch, inversions, 38 metres, 100 km/h, 130 cm. Same speed class as Voltron, different corner of the park. Useful when Croatia is already filling and Iceland is not.
Wodan is the wood: 40 metres, 100 km/h, 120 cm. No inversions. In September it climbed almost as high as Voltron — wood is not the quiet option. Ride it for airtime, not “quickly after two launches”.
Short advice: want the new launch with inversions, start at Voltron — but check the queues first. If Voltron is already high and Blue Fire or Wodan is not, swap the order. Want height without inversions, Silver Star is the logical second, if you clear 140 cm. Want wood, Wodan finishes Iceland. Do not stack all four in the same hour. The Europa-Park planning tips help: historical patterns often show the magnet (Voltron) filling early.
Euro-Mir, Eurosat and the rest
Euro-Mir sits in Russia: spinning, helix, 28 metres, 80 km/h, 130 cm. Not a must if you only came for Voltron. It is the ride that tastes different from a straight hyper.
Eurosat is indoor France: dark, 25.5 metres, 60 km/h, 120 cm. Rain or heat plan: go here. Coastiality is the same track with a headset, often from 130 cm. Do not count it twice.
Matterhorn-Blitz and Swiss Bob Run sit together in Switzerland. Wild mouse versus bobsled tub. Both 120 cm. Pick one if the legs already did Voltron and Wodan.
Arthur hangs in Minimoys: powered, inverted, 100 cm, 31 km/h. No thrill. In September its queue climbed as hard as Wodan’s. Skipping it “because it is for kids” is how you lose an extra half hour in Croatia.
Pegasus is the family coaster in Greece: 13 metres, 65 km/h, 100 cm. Alpenexpress Enzian is the powered tunnel in Austria, from 90 cm. Ba-a-a Express is the mini in Ireland.
Water counts, but plan it wet
Poseidon is a water coaster in Greece: 23 metres, 70 km/h, 120 cm. Themed roof first, rails second. Wet.
Atlantica SuperSplash in Portugal: 30 metres, 80 km/h, 100 cm. Big splash, lower pole. Count it as a coaster, plan it as water.
Not coasters, still wet: Fjord-Rafting in Scandinavia and the Tirol Log Flume in Austria.

Park rules can change; the measuring pole at the entrance always beats a blog.
Which one should you ride?
- Check live, not memory. Open the Europa-Park live wait times before you lock a route.
- Height first, taste second. Under 130 cm, Voltron, Blue Fire and Euro-Mir are out; under 140 cm, Silver Star too.
- Voltron, Silver Star, Blue Fire and Wodan are not side quests. Those four queues decide a thrill day.
- Eurosat is the indoor option, not the extra after four thrill rides when legs are gone. Arthur too: that queue climbs harder than it looks.
- Water is a separate Europa-Park question. Poseidon and Atlantica count as coaster and wet; Fjord-Rafting is the rapids.
