You guys need to see how uk open there new ride watch theme park wide on new thorpe park ride

[@beng9520]

Could learn a lot from Hyperias opening. Yes the queue goes through the park but it was safe!

[@T.AllansCompositionAdventures]

Please sort out more crowd control. Less social media, more guest safety ❤.

[@TylerPCoyne]

Probably the last person I’d expect to see in the comment section of this video. You guys really hit it out of the park with this ride, and I hope to one day experience it for myself!

[@antwhite3899]

Its not just just the organisation. It is also the mentality of crowds. Mixture of both and tragedies happen. So many examples at football stadium's. It's not just the operating team but the crowd mentality aswell. Best theme park channel, by a long shot. ❤

[@myles8328]

Absolutely - poor preparation and operations but some people attending need to use their brains and show some respect and consideration. It’s a rollercoaster, not a life-or-death situation. People’s lack of consideration for each other rips my knitting! But definitely, the park could’ve done so much better. Voltron looks fabulous!

[@RuKoReview]

It should not have happened as it did. It was planned to let all people get to the Q-Line right from the beginning. But Voltron had an issue the day before (a train with another wheel configuration was tested and valleyed). So the operators didn't know when to open the ride on that day and didn't let go anybody to the line before it was clear that voltron will open. I have been there and all of the secruity told everybody to not wait there and go somewhere else. It was not planned by the park to handle it that way. Even Lukas Metzger got there in person to tell that to the guests.

[@dlanightfury]

The theming throughout the queue and station is genuinely so impressive

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The theming is excellent

[@betholivia9118]

Considering incidents we’ve seen in the past, not at theme parks but when there have been big crowds involved and people have literally died, you would like to think that they would have been prepared. Looking at that footage as you walked in made me feel really uneasy. I hope Charlotte is okay! I also hope Europa Park and other parks learn from this to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the rest of the trip!

[@danny.ray101]

The run at park opening is more or less a daily ritual at EP :/

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They really need to look at better crowd control moving forwards. It was very dangerous!

[@davidnm21]

The Berlin Love Parade incident from a few years ago comes to mind. Many deaths and serious injuries.

[@dawi2611]

​@@davidnm21 that was in Duisburg and this was very differnt to the Situation in the EP. In the Europa Park you can go all time beside to and other Themeland, the big Problem is that everyone would go streigh to Voltron. I'm sorry, but the Problem was not only by the Park .

Talking of theme park review from yesterday I actually used to be a fan of theme park review as a teenager but I actually much prefer the KZbin channel theme park worldwide. I’m hoping your KZbin channel eventually gets to 1 million subscribers like theme park review has because I am a big fan of your channel. The more subscribers you get the better your channel will get ❤

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. Safety is always paramount and unfortunately today Europa Park failed with the crowd control at opening.

[@racheljackson4428]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide Europa park needs to address this in a meeting.

[@Rabbitzz]

​@@racheljackson4428you'd hope so, it's a very competent park I'd say it's got the best operations in the world but next time they open an attraction they really need to think about crowd control.

[@basti0007]

Pretty sure they will. I'm still amazed that they didn't think of an early queing principle to avoid running (like catching all people immediately in a temporary narrow queue for Voltron in the German area right after the entrance before any funnel situations can build up, then leading this queue all towards the overflow area at Traumatica, possibly through a still closed France section. As soon as the crowds are in Traumatica, you can move the temporary entrance slowly back to Croatia during the day. Other parks do it that way as well. My guess is, they just underestimated how many people would show up on a Friday)

[@recycleme9522]

​@@ThemeParkWorldwide even if it was badly organised, people need to have more cop on than to run along with a crowd like that or even leave the situation if there are genuine safety concerns. Glad it all worked out in the end though, the ride looks amazing!

[@1989Sassi1989]

Thank you so much for your detailed, in depth footage and honest thoughts! Croatia looks amazing as well as the theming all throughout the queue! Glad you both made it through opening day ok! I can understand the initial disappointment you felt. I have been going to Europa for years and love everything about the park. I only once had a bad incident where someone was hurt, not badly fortunately, but staff kind of just looked away. That also really bummed me out since I love the park so much and from everything I experienced I just expected something else. I really hope that people look at this and learn from it. But I feel like usually Europa Park is very good about checking all that went wrong though and improving what they can, so fingers crossed they will do so in the future as well. Looking forward to your next vlogs and further impressions from your Europa Park Trip!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, let’s hope they can learn for future new ride openings.

[@CatsnCoasters]

Looks incredible!! World class...hats off to the Mack family. Can't wait to experience it next week. Shame about your 1st ride and the ride opening was farcical. Hope you get some smoother rides soon.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was great to see you!

[@matt64allison]

I was saying to Sean Evans, I’ve really been looking forward to seeing this open more than any other. Europa park have a good line up but nothing stand out, nothing really you can’t experience better anywhere else but I think that has now definitely changed, they’re giving Phantasialand a run for their money when it comes to unique & impressive coasters

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s good to see another big ride come to the park!

[@Loekii_]

the reason why you stop in the middle of the ride is because you teleforted via electricity to the 2nd tower and thats why you stopped and then the 2nd half is that you travel back

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Would love to see this explained with the storyline and theming around the turntable!

[@BenjaminRichter-k9r]

Wow, that was some extremely poor organisation for an opening day - looked absolutely awful and to seriously have only one member of staff directing the humongous crowds is absolutely shocking. Everyone who visits a theme park should have the right to feel safe and comfortable as safety should always be the number one priority at any theme park around the world and it’s such a shame that Europa Park - a world class theme park, failed to protect their guests. This could have resulted in serious injury especially for those using wheelchairs so I’m so glad your both ok. You’re so thoughtful and considerate for looking after Charlotte and making sure she was alright. However, the negatives aside, the ride is absolutely phenomenal and Mack have done an absolutely incredible job, the theming is top notch and the area looks fantastic! Glad you had a great time :D

[@Rt-spammed-you]

[@danny.ray101]

I am not surprised this would happen on an announced opening day at EP. Soft opening would have been the way to go imo.

Getting a live reaction to the coaster was excellent! - First launch of Voltron, a coaster we've been excited about for years, what was Shawn going to say? Something poetic? Something that stands the test of time? Something that will go down in history.... ...no - It was "Oh, well that was weird" hhahahahah! Excellent!

And this is exactly why I like Disney's new way of opening rides. Virtual Queue is the way to do openings. No big crush. I know it means some people don't get to ride but it makes it so much safer and so much better. Plus it frees up the day to do other things

[@RuKoReview]

We have been there on Friday and Saturday and managed to ride Voltron for seven times on different trains and seat positions. You are right that the ride is shaky in some positions. I expected it to be smoother and was a bit disappointed by the shakiness on my first ride. Mack Rides have some other wheels in stock, and they tested one of them on 25th. But this train valleyed after the break run at the church tower. So, they had to disassemble the whole train and remove it via a large crane. It was brought back to the factory and reassemble it. This train was brought back to Europa-Park in 26th. We were able to spot the truck from the extended queue line. As we managed to get our first ride the doors on the turntable were already closed again - so maybe they brought in the additional train at the time of your ride. What is phenomenal in my opinion: they had some really bad issues on that day with a lot of rollbacks on the first launch and on the launch into the stall. But the whole coaster was able to recover from that situations within minutes without a need to close the ride. So, there is brilliant engineering to overcome these situations without the need to restart the whole thing. When it comes to the story, as you mentioned: Europa-Park has made a whole movie describing the concept of what is going on with that teleportation thing from the station to the turntable and back to the station. But you are right, if one is not aware of that it lacks to tell the story on ride. Regarding the Nikola Tesla animatronic in the center of the building, I have heard some rumors of possible things to come. They plan to have some AI thingies build into that animatronic so that it will react to the guests. It was built together with Weta Workshop and has more than 60 motors inside of it. But yes, I also was disappointed by that animatronic. It didn’t hype me in the way it was announced. The coolest thing about that pre-show was the “electric orchestra” on the ceiling. I didn’t expect this, and I have never seen something like this before. After all it is a solid ride in my opinion, but there is some room for improvement. And I expect Mack Rides to fix the problems and further improve it within the next months.

40:55: The story for the turntable is actually the story of the ride, teleporting from point A to B and back, on the little screens of the turn table you can see energy loading, supposedly the cosmic energy that brings you back to the station... It's a little rough but it does the job in my opinion

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I’d love to see some more theming and addition of narration in the turntable area

[@ungesagt]

After seeing this, I really have to say that I prefer it when a park doesn't give an opening date at all. Simply open the attraction out of the blue, so that the news spreads more slowly and you can't plan ahead as a guest. Then you definitely don't have such chaos in the park.

[@1minutethemeparks]

Hi Shawn was nice to bump into you today! Me and my brother managed to ride it 8 times after our 1st ride with you I agreed, but it really depends on train and seat on the ride. Row 2 and 3 avoid the outer seats. Back and front row you are safe to sit anywhere. Best seat is the back right follwed by front left! Hope you have a better day tomorrow its my new NO.1 😮

[@aridaje4345]

I don't know why but I feel the fact it's a new favorite of many people depends on the hype. Because, apart for the lenght and maybe some positive Gs, I don't see how it could beat what are considered to be Europe's best coasters. Really I'm curious. No hate, but I feel that before saying that's better than zadra or rth we should wait until hype goes down.

@@1minutethemeparks i don't say it's a bad coaster by any means. But for real, a stronger airtime than the rth top hat? Already forgot it?

I agree that parks don’t think about opening days properly. If they put a bit more thought into the whole event, they could make everything a lot more smooth and also make the guests feel more valued and like they’ve been to an exclusive event. They’d also be able to make a lot more money. Even with Nemesis, I think the park could have done security a bit better (at least in the galactica entrance) and they could have offered some exclusive merch or something like that.

It was good to see you!

[@nicolaward1034]

OMG that was manic 😮!! Although your initial reaction wasn’t the greatest, watching from the comfort of my sofa, it looks like an amazing ride!! I’d be sure to sit in the middle though 😂 Great vlog 👍🏻

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@twinkleroksboo]

Awww awesome video xx Hope Charlotte was ok, and ur head didnt hurt for long! X That clearly was a breach of Health and Saftey rules and should have had a lot more staff and security from the start! Good first impressions of the ride, and the theming looked incredible especially from the dancing Teslas! X

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The theming is great and loved the queue-line!

[@nathan7963]

Been to this park once, and it's awesome, I was just thinking about how many people have fallen into the river/pond when rushing to the rides 😂

[@timheye7863]

Thank you to show us once again a chaotic opening day of a major ride. Many years ago I did the same thing with the opening of Blue fire and it was horrible. So I decided to go to Hansa park, Heide park and Phantasialand instead. I had amazing quiet days. Black Mamba, Karnan or Fluch der Demonen might not be Voltron, but they're still an amazing rides. But thank you for showing us this. It brings back memories. Dangerous to be there and a very poor organized.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the park can learn how to manage new ride openings in the future.

[@MrsAkribori]

If You don't visit the park on a opening day You don't have to be afraid of anything.

[@EuropaParkChannel]

Even though the vast majority of comments on the opening of Voltron were extremely positive, critical feedback is also important to us. We would therefore like to thank Shawn for the constructive dialogue we were able to have with him and draw important conclusions from it. We wish all our guests continued fun with Voltron and at the Europa-Park Resort.

[@grahamlees6152]

You were upset about the chaos, but you also chose to ignore the staff member who was telling people to go the other way

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We decided to continue that way, just like most people did. It needed more than just one person in that location if they wanted to change the guest flow!

[@grahamlees6152]

You saw him, acknowledged him and went anyway, so took advantage of the situation

[@recycleme9522]

​@@ThemeParkWorldwideyou also decided to run like most people did. Even after Charlotte was pushed over which makes me think you either exaggerated your safety concerns or you decided it was worth the risk for the sake of a vlog. Either one makes your (justified) criticism regarding the crowd control seem a bit hypocritical.

[@Bfora2009]

That’s exactly the reason I don’t go to opening days. Absolutely unbelievable. Hope they find the people who did push get found and banned. Crazy… 😠

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was very poorly organised sadly

[@coastingalong]

Looks like the best new ride for 2024 by a mile!

[@officialchase02]

I’m so glad Charlotte is OK. I’m glad you looked after her. She needs to be protected at all costs.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. Just a graze on the leg luckily!

[@officialchase02]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide that’s good at least I wouldn’t want her to get hurt that was the worst opening day crowd I have seen I’ve never seen it where people are pushing one another out-of-the-way just to get to a ride

[@Harveymeek65]

The fact the on opening day there was one staff member but when I am at work at Alton towers and galactica is going to open late we have the whole station staff and service staff out to let people know it shows the difference

[@Marculator]

Looks awesome!

[@rossallen2882]

“When you got Mack family just filming to the side.. “ not their job, they’ve made their ride. that’s down to park management/Europa park to sort the crowds

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I feel that it should be everyone’s responsibility to ensure guest safety is always paramount!

[@midnightgirl5430]

Because I was in a hotel and came to the park via Holland, I didn't notice any of the chaos in Italy. Fortunately, things were quite civilized in Holland and the atmosphere was great. Unfortunately, I had the same problems during the ride, I was sitting in the last row on the far left and after a while it was really uncomfortable due to the enormous vibration. It also gave me a headache. I had imagined my first ride to be a bit different, hopefully the next one will be better. 😅

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Sorry to hear that. Our further rides were definitely more enjoyable!

[@chrisbaker9767]

Great video Shawn and Charlotte from Voltron Nevera at Europa Park in Germany. keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte. 😀😀👍👍

[@gavinsadventuresinterests.]

It was definitely a chaotic & dangerous start to opening the ride for the first time. The theming for the ride looks great & it is a shame about the rattle on one of the trains. The rattle could be because of a design flaw with the ride carriages or it's to do with the wheels on the carriage. Either way i hope Europa Park will listen to this feedback and also act on it to improve the ride for the future. And definitely better improved crowd control. A lot people could have been seriously injured because of the very poor crowd control. Get your act together Europa Park, please.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for sharing. Europa Park and other parks really need to make new ride openings much better organised!

Glad Charlotte is ok! Hope the opening of Hyperia is managed better

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Let’s hope so. It really needs to be!

[@Gisela_aka_gies]

You are so sweet shawn for your bride to be..so considerate and caring and protective😍 very sweet..i am going in September so i will see what it is all about. I just got back yesterday from Croatia so i will see if they did the Country justice.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. Have a great trip!

[@clairegriffiths3800]

Those crowds pushing must have been so scary. I think I would have had a panic attack 😅 Glad you're ok!

[@Steve_1208]

I think once your on the ride and you set off your supposed to be the lightening/Electricity flowing out from one tower to the 2nd tower which is where the turntable is, then the 2nd part is again your journey back to the first tower as Electricity/lightening 😊 Glad Charlotte is OK and not too shaken up and you too shawn, your right it was very poorly organised and some one could have got seriously Injured, let's hope they learn from this, enjoy the rest of your stay 😊

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. Let’s hope parks can really learn from this!

[@tanyabatiste7306]

Wow that was rather scary watching those crowds at the start. I was thinking of the tragedies that have happened when crushes have happened. So glad you are ok. Good to see the ride review

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was very poorly managed unfortunately

[@furydoer7928]

Charlotte looking stunning as always 😍. Looked intense 😮

[@MB-qv4zo]

Great vlog as always guys, looking forward to more ride reviews this week. Bit of a rough start, hope Charlotte is ok.

[@pfschuyler]

It looks spectacular, but the rattle is interesting. It seems that if you cantilever off the sides of the track you will get vibrations, there is simply no way to avoid it regardless of how new or fancy the ride is (i.e.wing coasters and Eurofighters).

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It seems so. Luckily it was better on other trains!

[@lampenkapper]

Seeing those crowd levels made me very uncomfortable! I'm glad there were no accidents but I would expect a better organisation from Europa Park.

[@nataliebrinkley8182]

OMG. My anxiety was through the roof watching this! Hope you’re both ok

[@samuelroberts-xb7oc]

Looks amazing can’t wait to ride!!!!

[@AMagicProduction]

Europa should follow what Disney does, it’s basically a “controlled walk” with a line of cast members walking you to the new ride and now letting anyone pass them- they did that for months after Seven Dwarfs Mine Train opened

[@vertigo4884]

oh yeah, alton towers does that, at the time it annoyed me but i can see why they did it now

[@timmerman4924]

Or they coupd have let everyone straight into the queue and let them wait there from the moment the park opens

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Definitely

[@banonjj151]

That must of been so scary for you both. Glad you are both ok especially Charlotte being knocked over ❤

[@BluePuppyCat]

Omg poor Charlotte!!! I'm glad she's Okay! That's absolutely shocking. Someone could have been seriously hurt! 😢

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, it was very poor sadly
