Europa-Park‘s new Voltron Nevera roller coaster has taken its first test ride with the park’s owners, the Mack family.
“For the very first time, Voltron Nevera powered by Rimac has welcomed passengers,” Europa-Park wrote on X, formerly Twitter, alongside the new video of the test ride.
“Our brand new roller coaster gave the Mack family a tonne of thrills and goosebumps. Who’s excited to ride this incredible multi-launch coaster soon?”
Built by Mack Rides, the German theme park’s 14th coaster is Europe’s longest multi-launch coaster at 1,385 metres. In addition, the ride’s 105-degree launch is the steepest in the world.
Riders also experience several LSM launch tracks with speeds of 55.9 mph, a maximum height of 106.6 feet, a unique turntable element, and seven inversions.
The new coaster takes it name from Mate Rimac, founder and CEO of Rimac Automobili, a Croatian automotive manufacturer, as well as the company’s Rimac Nevera electric sports car.
“The history of the Mack family is very fascinating to me,” said Rimac.

“This is where visionaries and top engineers meet, both striving to be the best in their field,” he added.
“For me, it is an honour that Germany’s largest theme park will not only be able to show our innovations, but also present the rich history and culture of Croatia.”
Michael Mack said the partnership with Rimac is “a perfect match”. He added: “We’re united by our entrepreneurial spirit, our passion for acceleration and our special relationship with Croatia.”
