Voltron Press Day at Europa Park!

Great video, just found your channel, Voltron is a crazy good coaster and good to see someone else with the adrenaline rush when they have gotten off. Was at the park for 3 days end of July and got 6 rides in! I’d say it’s an absolute must for anyone who loves full on coasters!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It’s incredible honestly… I can’t manage more than 3 rides at a time it’s just TOO intense but in the best way possible

[@CoasterTrax]

​​​@@LiftHillsandThrillsim glad u say it and matches the statements of others too. It seem more intense as ppl thought, which is great and definetly something Europa Park needed. Would you say its more intense than Taron in Phantasialand or RtH (except the beast of a launch on intamin rides ofc) Courious about your thoughts on it. Visiting either monday or tuesday next week, when the park isnt that crowded (hopefully) its my home Park and only an hour away from me

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@CoasterTrax It’s more intense than both! For me! RTH I can do a good 7/8 rides before I tap out this is 3 max…

[@CoasterTrax]

@@LiftHillsandThrills damn. Sounds promissing 🤩

[@matt64allison]

This has been my most anticipated 2024 ride. Europa Park & Phantasialand both look great but I always saw Europa more as the park experience, never really had any stand out coasters but I think that has changed

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Definitely need to visit!

[@0dylan]

Going next Friday. Phantasialand has been my favorite park for the last couple years and idk if this will be enough to top it as phantasialand has two world class coasters but this will certainly improve Europa park ten fold.
