The story of Blue Fire Megacoaster
In the season of 2009, Europa-Park presented Blue Fire Megacoaster as the ride that would turn the park upside down for the first time. The new coaster belonged to the Iceland area, where rough rockwork and village scenery gave the launch its own northern landscape. corporate.europapark.com· corporate.europapark.com
MACK Rides planned and manufactured the coaster in Waldkirch, Germany. Europa-Park’s own timeline records a long period of development before the finished design joined a dark ride opening, a catapult launch, and four inversions into one continuous journey. corporate.europapark.com· europapark.de
For the visitor, the great party trick remains its sudden departure: a quiet approach, a pause, and then 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. Europa-Park describes the train passing rugged cliffs, going underground through rock, and finally taking the highest loop of a catapult coaster in Europe. europapark.de· corporate.europapark.com
Today the ride remains in operation as one of Europa-Park’s principal modern steel coasters. Its posted figures are still a tidy catalogue of German engineering: 38 metres high, 100 km/h, four inversions, and a theoretical 1,450 visitors per hour. europapark.de
