Voltron Nevera is a multi-launch roller coaster at Europa-Park in Rust, Germany.[1] The ride opened to the public on 26 April 2024 as part of a new Croatian-themed area in the park. Voltron Nevera was manufactured by Mack Rides at their factory in Waldkirch, Baden-Württemberg. It is sponsored by automotive manufacturer Rimac Automobili, as announced at the coaster's name-reveal ceremony.[2]
Voltron Nevera is a combination of dark ride and launched roller coaster. Riders board the trains while they slowly travel forward on a conveyor system. Once guests have boarded, the train proceeds through a dark ride section within a themed workshop. The train then pauses momentarily while the tower "energises", and the track section below vibrates and bounces.[3] The train is then accelerated forward and up, into a beyond-vertical (105°) launch. There then follows various coaster elements, including a booster launch, a turntable and a multi-pass/swing launch.[4] Throughout the ride, the trains pass through the surrounding Croatian-themed landscapes,[5] which contain ruins, rocks and a church tower.
Voltron Nevera opened as the first phase of a new Croatian-themed area in Europa-Park, located between the Greece- and Russia-themed areas. The site had previously been occupied by a satellite dish,[6] which was demolished in February of 2022 to allow for construction of the new themed area to begin. The park installed a preview centre beside the Greece-themed area, allowing visitors to observe a miniature model of the upcoming ride. The preview centre also included viewing windows which overlooked parts of the construction site. In April 2023, Europa-Park released an animated video render containing both on-ride and off-ride shots of the new coaster. The track was completed in May 2023.[7] The first of the seven trains arrived in Europa-Park on 26 January 2024.[8]
