Silver Star is a roller coaster located at Europa-Park, a theme park in Rust, Germany. With a height of 239 ft (73 m), placing it in the hyper coaster category. Although it is one of Bolliger & Mabillard's tallest coasters, it was surpassed as the tallest in Europe by ''Shambhala: Expedición al Himalaya'' at PortAventura in 2012 (Both were surpassed by ''Fury 325 at Carowinds which is the tallest coaster Bolliger and Mabillard has ever built to date). Signs in the queuing area claim a maximum speed of 130 km/h with a maximum of 4G vertical forces. ''Silver Star'' has 3 trains which seat 36 people each, giving an hourly capacity of 1,750 passengers. This hypercoaster is situated in the French quarter of Europa Park and is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz. ==The ride== ''Silver Star'' features no inversions but many hills and helixes. After the first drop, the train travels leftwards and up onto the first camel back(1), and then a second. The train performs a 180 degree return in a hammerhead element(2), then continues onto another camel back followed by a mid-run brake segment(3). A 270 degree upwards helix(4) brings the train back under the lifthill and onto one last camel back. A banked S-bend brings the train to the on-ride photo and final brake run.(5) Nearly every camel back is fitted with a speed 'trim' device to regulate the train's speed. The original friction-brake trims made the ride uncomfortable for some riders, however these have been refitted with magnetic trims. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Silver Star (roller coaster)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
