STAR TREK Roller Coaster: Operation Enterprise Front Row POV - Movie Park

Star Trek: Operation Enterprise is a roller coaster at Movie Park Germany. 4K POV On-Ride, Front Row. The ride is a triple-launch coaster with a backward twisting spiral and multiple inversions. It is created by MACK Rides and features a transfer track to allow multiple train operations on a swing-launch track. The attraction is the centerpiece at the entrance of the movie-based theme park and was added in 2017. The Immelman (first element of the roller coaster) perfectly encompasses the logo fountain as you enter, front and center. #StarTrek #RollerCoaster #POV #MovieParkGermany
This Star Trek-themed ride has a top speed of 56mph, it features a lot of hangtime-filled elements to give riders negative G's in a small space, such as a heartline roll and zero-g roll. The ride receives some criticism for being slow, however, I found the ride to still be fun and the elements are fine. No major complaints, it may not be the most intense, but it's incredible for its small footprint, layout, and location, and has elements that other similar attractions do not have.

I went onto the coaster completely blind. That back boost hit me HARD- Great ride!!!

[@Scoaster86]

This ride honestly is so much more fun than it looks in POVs. When it first opened, based on POVs I wasn't expecting much more than a "solid" ride, but when I got to ride it, I was blown away, by how good this ride actually is. Especially in the front row, where the inversions really give you some serious hangtime.

[@bjbresulla]

I love how they kept the part about federation shuttle crafts and how they have to gain inertia to launch by shooting backwards through the ship.

[@happysword2587]

80% of the commenters were only to Disney or Universal and seem not to know that not every park has tens of millions to spend on a ride. Making it completely indoors would have nuked the parks budget. It's a great ride for what it wants to be

[@theexmann]

The part where you first come in and then walk around the bridge reminds me of the attraction they used to have at the Vegas Hilton. It wasn't a rollercoaster but one of those immersive simulations where it felt like you were flying around. It was cool. They also had people dressed as Klingons, and other ST characters. It also involved a staged play scenario where it starts off like you're taking a walking tour and then all of a sudden they call a condition red and all hell breaks loose and they take you into what seems like a turbo lift but all of a sudden it goes dark for a few seconds and then you're on a platform being told to get on a shuttle. It was impressive how they did that.

[@keithlowe5512]

I visited Vegas when that was still on, always regretted not checking it out

[@Drummerchick2003]

Pretty cool launch coaster, the experience is better then watching it.

I like the coaster, looks like a smooth enjoyable experience with a twist unlike some rides that feel the need to be over the top. Maybe a prime example of early 2000s coasters where they liked to go upside down as the new thing.

[@mich6425]

Laughable, the ride is fun and launch has some force, I enjoyed it. Some people are just never satisfied 😅

[@davidrubinstein9722]

Agreed with all. It has a great possibility. Could have been indoor with you being a photon torpedo that launches out of the Enterprise and chases an enemy ship, shown in video in front of the coaster, until you finally catch up to it and “explode”. Have a sudden stop at the end and use a bunch of bright light and smoke in the explosion so when it ends, and the smoke clears, you’re at the unloading area.

[@chevyeye8663]

On rollercoasters a block zone is a section of ride that only one train may occupy at a time. At the end of a block zone there is a method to stop the train, in case the block zone ahead is still occupied. This is the safety system that prevents rollercoaster trains from colliding with one another.

Just a normal coaster, but I love that it's of the Enterprise-D (my most favorite starship) instead of the original. Like the other commenters said, I also wish it had more to do with the ship/show instead of what we saw on the outside. Granted, there are a lot of rides based on movies/characters that have just a plain coaster with nothing else, but verity would be nice. I like the coaster part as in saying I wouldn't want it as a seat that just tilts as you watch a screen. I would still go on it because that's my most favorite Star Trek series.

[@christophergrimes12]

I would have designed the rollercoaster ride of Star Trek with you going through a battle scene in space and seeing the ship's getting destroyed

[@tonyrainbolt9388]

I agree, it looks like a fun short experience but it's themed for Star Trek. Where are the Klingon's and the Romulan's. No phasers or torpedoes, or even a chase through an asteroid field.

It would be cool if the cars were enclosed and looked more like escape pods with video screens inside that would make it seem like you were in space so you couldn't see outside. I'm sure that would give you a very different sensation since you wouldn't be able to see the oncoming track route.

It is not only a question about money, but also vision. For example, the Riool Rat (sewer rat) rollercoaster in Hellendoorn, the Netherlans is a small indoor one... the waiting area AND the rollercoaster are a confined and dark experience... which adds so much to the effect. They could have done the same here. This is supposed to be a shuttle craft, right? Especially going backwards can add to some drama in visuals you see, like photon torpedo strobes, etc.
