New in 2006: the "Pegasus" family rollercoaster at Europa-Park

Since May 2006 an archaeological excavation in the Greek themed area of Europa-Park offers the youngest visitors what is likely to be their very first rollercoaster adventure. The magic of ancient times comes vividly to life when "Pegasus", the new family rollercoaster, plunges down from a height of 15 metres and tears through the sky at a whirlwind pace in front of the backdrop of a Greek village. Sport for the gods indeed!

At Europa-Park, visitors can now delve even deeper into the world of Greek gods and mythology. A worthy counterpart of the neighbouring 73-metre high Silver Star rollercoaster, the new "Pegasus" YoungSTAR Coaster is set to make its mark as a rollercoaster for the whole family.
This coaster is a brand new development, particularly suitable for children from 4 years upwards who are at least 1 metre (approx. 3"3 ft) tall. Special individual safety rails and ergonomic seat shells ensure that even the youngest rollercoaster fans can look forward to a relaxed and carefree ride on the winged horse.
Although, in terms of riding comfort, the rollercoaster has been especially designed for the young adventurers among us, "Pegasus" - the winged horse from Greek mythology - is by no means a ride for children only, for this YoungSTAR Coaster offers thrills aplenty for all the family.
With a height of 15 metres and a banking inclination of 86 degrees, as well as some rapid manoeuvres and a top speed of 65 km/h, the ride has all the excitement a grown-up adventurer could wish for.
The two trains, built in the form of Trojan chariots, travel over a more than 400 metre long track. The station is located in the track circle of the "Poseidon" water rollercoaster. The ride was designed and built by MACK Rides in Waldkirch.
