AnonymousReed Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 It was built between 1994-2004 and travels through out Europe. Looks pretty good for a "traveling" coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XII Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I'm pretty sure that Euro Star has found a home at Gorky Park, in Moscow Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxegon Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Eurostar is quite possibly the most uncomfortable roller coaster in the entire multiverse. I'd encourage anyone planning to ride it to stock up on painkillers beforehand; you will need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Giovanola made Euro Star, not Intamin. http://www.rcdb.com/4242.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8899 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Eurostar was quite okay in the first and second year - but got rapidly bad with each travel. No match to the Schwarzkopf travelling coasters. But I also think to remeber that Intamin built this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasty82 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hi, I'm the new one... Euro Star was built as a co-production by the following companys: - Intamin [project leadership, control system, electronical parts] - Giovanola [tracks, supports, lift, electronical parts ...] - Fa. Mannhardt [foundation] - Mack Rides [ticket booth] - Fa. Johann Gerstlauer (the brother of Hubert Gerstlauer, who owns Gerstlauer Rides) [station] - a company from the Netherlands (maybe Vekoma?) [Trains] - Fa. Stengel (design) The refurbishment in 2003/2004 was done by Gerstlauer Rides. Euro Star wasn't that rough. I really miss it on the german fair circuit!

Dragon Khan Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I rode it it its first year and it was an EXCELLENT very intense (think BTR) coaster. The overbank between the loop and the inline twist was comparable to Nemesis' "helix". The inline itself was very "snappy" (like old B&M zero G's) and the downwards helix at the end (before the brake run) was a nice ending too. HOWEVER, I rode it some years later (in one of its last touring years) and it had aged BAD. Even the cross ties reinforcements didn't help: this ride became shaky. But still intense and rideable though. I remember getting a chip of iron falling from the mid course brake run right into my face ! Felt sooo safe LOL. But I would ride it again with no hesitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaminkid2005 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I wish something like that toured American Fairs!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Portable coasters have always interested me. Especially as we not have any big fairs in my area of the world. This thing looks amazingly thrilling for a portable. I know it doesn't measure up to Schwarzkopf standards, but still impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Ride looks pretty cool for a portable. To bad they don't have something like that on that travels with fairs in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxegon Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Shrug. It looked awesome, but rode like a shopping trolley with a missing wheel over cobblestones. I rode it once, and that was quite enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
