Silver Star has 3 trains which seat 36 people each, giving an hourly capacity of 1,750 passengers. The hypercoaster is situated in the “France” area of Europa Park, and it is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz.
After the first drop, the train travels to the left and up onto the first camelback. It then goes down a smaller drop and then through a second camelback.
The train performs a 180° return in the horseshoe element.
The train then continues onto another camelback before a mid-course brake-run.
A 270° upwards turn brings the train back under the lift hill and onto one last camelback.
An S-bend has the train passing by the camera for candid on-ride photos before the final brake run.
Nearly every camelback is fitted with brake trims to regulate the trains’ speed. The original friction-brake trims made the ride uncomfortable for some riders; these were refitted with magnetic trims.
