Cornwall Coaster opens at Hansa-Park with seven launches
Hansa-Park opened Cornwall Coaster in May 2026 as a new family coaster in Bezauberndes Britannien. At opening, the Gerstlauer ride turned out to have seven launches instead of six, with smooth forward and backward sections through a richly themed Cornwall setting.

In May 2026, Hansa-Park was finally able to open the long-awaited Cornwall Coaster. Looopings reported that the ride had entered service the previous weekend after approval from TÜV and test runs with staff and project team members. The opening happened without a major ceremony, but the news itself was striking: the coaster previously announced with six launches turned out to feature seven in its final version. That gave the family coaster an even stronger identity. Built by Gerstlauer, Cornwall Coaster stands in Bezauberndes Britannien. It is 18 metres tall, 570 metres long, reaches 50 kilometres per hour and uses a switch-track system to send riders over the same sections several times. There are no inversions, but the ride plays with direction, repetition and timing as guests move forward and backward, including through a dead-end spike. Director Christoph Andreas Leicht especially stressed the smoothness of the ride and the carefully executed layout. He described it as a coaster for the whole family, without unpleasant movements. The theming is another key selling point: rocky landscapes, detailed buildings and specially composed music bring the English county of Cornwall into Hansa-Park's British area.
