The ride features the first loop ever integrated into a Mack Rides launched coaster.
The onboard heart-rate sensors transmit data to a small screen during the ride for passenger feedback.
The launch track is positioned inside a themed tunnel designed to resemble a volcanic geothermal area.
It was the first ride in Europa-Park to feature an inversion, marking a shift in the park's traditional ride philosophy.
The coaster's track length of 1,056 meters includes a total of 15 seconds of airtime sensations.
The magnetic launch system uses over 400 linear induction motors.
The ride's design concept was developed in collaboration with energy company Gazprom, originally titled Blue Fire Megacoaster powered by Nord Stream.
Blue Fire Megacoaster is a launched roller coaster manufactured by Mack Rides located in the Iceland section of Europa-Park. The ride utilizes a linear induction motor launch system to accelerate riders from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. The track layout spans 1,056 meters and features a maximum height of 38 meters. Passengers experience four inversions, including the highest loop on a launched coaster in Europe. The train design features heart-rate monitors embedded in the lap bar grips that display data on small screens. The ride was the first of its kind to include inversions within a launched model from this manufacturer. It serves as a signature attraction within the park's Nordic-themed expansion area.
The pedestrian bridge leading from the Scandinavia area provides a clear side view of the ride's vertical loop and launch tunnel entrance.
Use the VirtualLine feature in the Europa-Park app to reserve a time slot and reduce physical queue time.
The front row offers the most unobstructed views, while the back row provides more intense airtime forces during drops.
Keep your head back against the headrest during the launch to maximize comfort.
Avoid the mid-day peak hours when school groups and day visitors concentrate in the Iceland area.
