The story of Expedition GeForce
The traveller who came to Holiday Park in the summer of 2001 found a new work of steel set into the Palatinate resort. Expedition GeForce opened on 18 June of that year, marking the park’s thirtieth anniversary with a tall, modern Intamin machine. coasterpedia.net· ultimaterollercoaster.com
Its engineering was grand without ornament. The cable lift carried visitors to fifty-three metres, and the course sent them onward at 120 km/h without a single inversion, a fast sweep of steel rather than a catalogue of loops. ultimaterollercoaster.com· coasterpedia.net
The ride’s importance to the park has endured through years of care. In 2022, Parkerlebnis reported that the second train was again ready for service after many seasons of single-train operation, a practical improvement for crowded weekends and holiday afternoons. parkerlebnis.de
Its reputation travelled well beyond Haßloch. Amusement Today’s 2025 Golden Ticket Awards placed Expedition GeForce tenth among steel roller coasters, and described it as the highest-ranking coaster outside the United States on the Golden Ticket charts for more than two decades. amusementtoday.com
