This was my first ever B&M hyper coaster, and I am thoroughly impressed. My coaster reach extends to the UAE, where I live, Europa Park, and Erlebnispark Tripsdrill, and out of all of the coasters anywhere that I have ridden, this ranks 4th. This ride has excellent floater airtime, and even some ejector at the final portion of the ride. The S bend is very forceful, and overall, with everything taken into consideration, Silver Star is a great ride deserving of many people's rides. (P.S. The wind in a cloudy day is exceptional up there, even better in the front.)
My top 10: Hals Uber Kopf (Erlebnispark Tripsdrill) Wodan Timburcoaster (Europa Park) Flying Aces (Ferrari World Abu Dhabi) Silver Star (Europa Park) Karacho (Erlebnispark Tripsdrill) Blue Fire Megacoaster (Europa Park) Manta (Seaworld Abu Dhabi) Formula Rossa (Ferrari World Abu Dhabi) Mission Ferrari (Ferrari World Abu Dhabi) Mammut...
Read moresilver star is almost always worth a visit. almost because it strongly depends if you have a years pass or not. having one i don't bother to queue for longer than 20 minutes (its very hot inside as well). but if you are only a day in the park it's a must. know that the front row has the best view and most thrill. row 5 has the most air time. and the last row the best whip. sadly the ride is over way to quick but always nice. especially good when its cold and dark. i really wish they had solved the bag situation better so people wouldn't have to squeeze to get their bags in the lockers. also the music in the waiting area was better a year ago but that's just a minor issue. do yourself a favor though don't do the big rides (silver star, blue fire, wodan) before the smaller ones or you'll not feel any thrill especially cancan (what a disappointment), alpine express (the names a joke) and swiss bob (head- or backaches...
Read moreReally enjoyed this ride in my past few visits and was determined to write a great review today. Sadly tho, after 15 minutes of waiting we had a lady (who was clearly not fit for her job) pull out one of my friends and told her I’m broken German to sit on a test chair for the rolercoaster. Once she sat in there she was told to close the safety “belt” herself. Yes the iron bars which are normally closed by the personell by giving them a good shove. Obviously my friend was not able to fully close it so the “nice” lady told her that “she was does fit for this rollercoaster” and made us leave. Not only highly unprofessional in the choice of words but also in the way the test was performed. (Rode the rollercoaster multiple times together in the past without any trouble at all)
TL,DR: Great coaster of you are super thin otherwise you might get pulled out in the middle...
