New Star Trek Coaster Now Testing at Movie Park Germany



One of 2017's most interesting coaster designs can be found at Movie Park Germany, Star Trek: Operation Enterprise.  The coaster has been designed by Mack Rides and contains multiple launches that give the trains a top speed of 56 miles per hour, enough to complete the full circuit track.  Riders will encounter not only full Star Trek theming, but also several inversions, including an elevated heartline roll, an Immelmann, and a zero-g roll.

The coaster's structure has been completed for some time now, but we just recently got our first look at the ride's trains.  Seen above, the coaster's rolling stock feature a sleek look that fits with the futuristic Star Trek theme.  If you check out the park's Facebook photos, you can see more of the trains along with recent theming progress.

With the coaster's opening coming up pretty soon, the ride has been testing and the park has released this footage.  There's a lot of quick cuts and changes to the movie's speed, so it's hard to gauge how fast the ride is really running, but this looks great!  The twisted elements, launch and unique layout make Star Trek: Operation Enterprise look like it could be one of this year's hits.
