Silver Star
Silver Star is Europa-Park's big steel roller coaster. According to the park, it is one of the largest and tallest steel roller coasters in Europe. The ride opened in 2002 and has been part of the new Monaco themed area since 2026.
The concept
Silver Star was built by the Swiss coaster manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard. It's not about loops here, but about height, speed and that feeling of weightlessness. The trains seat 36 riders and the ride can theoretically handle around 1,620 guests per hour.
The Experience
After a long climb up the lift hill, you find yourself 73 metres up. Then comes a steep drop in which you reach up to 130 km/h. After that, big airtime hills alternate with fast turns, with forces of up to 4 g. The ride lasts about three minutes.
Discover Silver Star
Try the test seat first
People with larger thighs or a larger build may not fit the lap bar. There is a test seat at the entrance to the queue.
Sit at the front for the view
From the top you can see a large part of the park. The front gives you the best view, while at the back you feel the drops most intensely.
Don't miss the exhibition
Since 2026, the Silver Star building has housed the exhibition Monaco in Europa-Park – Riviera-glamour van dichtbij. It's a great stop before or after your ride.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.40 metres tall. The minimum age is 11. There is no accompanied-rider option. The ride is not permitted for pregnant women. According to the park, Silver Star operates in all seasons, so in winter too. However, the ride may close temporarily in icy, snowy or very windy conditions.
A classic with a new setting
For coaster fans, Silver Star is one of the highlights of a day at Europa-Park. With the new Monaco area around it, the coaster's surroundings were completely revamped in 2026.
