The coaster has a height of 239&nbsp;ft (73&nbsp;m), placing it in the hyper coaster category. Although it is one of Bolliger &amp; Mabillard&#8217;s tallest coasters, it was surpassed as the tallest in Europe by Shambhala: Expedici\u00f3n al Himalaya at PortAventura in 2012. Signs in the queuing area claim a maximum speed of 130&nbsp;km\/h, with a maximum of 4G vertical forces. Silver Star has 3 trains which seat 36 people each, giving an hourly capacity of 1,750 passengers. This hypercoaster is situated in the French area of Europa Park&nbsp;and is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Statistics:<\/strong><br><em>Length:<\/em> 5,315 ft<br><em>Height:<\/em> 239.5 ft<br><em>Drop:<\/em> 219.8 ft<br><em>Inversions:<\/em> 0<br><em>Speed:<\/em> 78.9 mph<br><em>Duration:<\/em> 4:00<br><em>Max Vertical Angle:<\/em> 68.5\u00b0<br><em>G-Force:<\/em> 4.0<br><em>Elements:<\/em> 239.5 ft tall Chain Lift Hill with a 219.8 ft drop, Hill with a 160.8 ft drop, Hill with a 134.5 ft drop, Over-Banked Curve, Block Brake<br><em>Capacity:<\/em> 1,750 riders per hour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silver Star features no inversions, but many hills and helixes. After the first drop, the train travels leftwards and up onto the first camel back, and then a second. The train performs a 180 degree return in a hammerhead element, then continues onto another camel back followed by a mid-run brake segment. A 270 degree upwards helix brings the train back under the lifthill and onto one last camel back. A banked S-bend brings the train to the on-ride photo and final brake run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly every camel back is fitted with a speed &#8217;trim&#8217; device to regulate the train&#8217;s speed. The original friction-brake trims made the ride uncomfortable for some riders, however these have been refitted with magnetic trims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aiSJqCzkeR0\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More Info:<\/strong><br>* <a href=\"http:\/\/rcdb.com\/1414.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/rcdb.com\/1414.htm<\/a><br>* <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Silver_Star_(roller_coaster)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Silver_Star_(roller_coaster)<\/a><br>* <a href=\"http:\/\/www.europapark.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.europapark.de\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Silver Star is a roller coaster located at Europa-Park, a theme park in Rust, Germany.
