Silver Star is a steel roller coaster located at Europa-Park, a theme park in Rust, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The coaster has a height of 73m (240feet)[1] and a drop of 67 metres (220 ft), placing it in the hyper coaster category. At the time of its opening, Silver Star was the tallest coaster constructed by Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M). It was later surpassed by Shambala at PortAventura Park (76 m/249 ft); the record currently belongs to Fury 325 at Carowinds (99 m/325 ft).
Silver Star has 3 trains which seat 36 people each, giving an hourly capacity of 1,750 passengers.[1] The hypercoaster is situated in the “France” area of Europa Park, and it is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz.
Silver Star features no inversions, but many camelback hills:[2]
Nearly every camelback is fitted with brake trims to regulate the trains’ speed. The original friction-brake trims made the ride uncomfortable for some riders; these were refitted with magnetic trims.
