Thank you for watching. Check our our full review of Voltron including more ride POV’s and the new Croatia themed area ➡️ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l5emnqWi2NHOY3k.htmlsi=pMElOvIoZcrlBNdQ

Even though the vast majority of comments on the opening of Voltron were extremely positive, critical feedback is also important to us. We would therefore like to thank Shawn for the constructive dialogue we were able to have with him and draw important conclusions from it. We wish all our guests continued fun with Voltron and at the Europa-Park Resort.

Its not just just the organisation. It is also the mentality of crowds. Mixture of both and tragedies happen. So many examples at football stadium's. It's not just the operating team but the crowd mentality aswell. Best theme park channel, by a long shot. ❤

The theming throughout the queue and station is genuinely so impressive

Considering incidents we’ve seen in the past, not at theme parks but when there have been big crowds involved and people have literally died, you would like to think that they would have been prepared. Looking at that footage as you walked in made me feel really uneasy. I hope Charlotte is okay! I also hope Europa Park and other parks learn from this to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the rest of the trip!

Words fail me regarding the opening but what an awesome looking ride

Looks incredible!! World class...hats off to the Mack family. Can't wait to experience it next week. Shame about your 1st ride and the ride opening was farcical. Hope you get some smoother rides soon.

Thank you so much for your detailed, in depth footage and honest thoughts! Croatia looks amazing as well as the theming all throughout the queue! Glad you both made it through opening day ok! I can understand the initial disappointment you felt. I have been going to Europa for years and love everything about the park. I only once had a bad incident where someone was hurt, not badly fortunately, but staff kind of just looked away. That also really bummed me out since I love the park so much and from everything I experienced I just expected something else. I really hope that people look at this and learn from it. But I feel like usually Europa Park is very good about checking all that went wrong though and improving what they can, so fingers crossed they will do so in the future as well. Looking forward to your next vlogs and further impressions from your Europa Park Trip!

Amazing rollercoaster! Cant wait to ride this

Talking of theme park review from yesterday I actually used to be a fan of theme park review as a teenager but I actually much prefer the KZfaq channel theme park worldwide. I’m hoping your KZfaq channel eventually gets to 1 million subscribers like theme park review has because I am a big fan of your channel. The more subscribers you get the better your channel will get ❤

So excited you got to film your debut ride on Voltron! What a unique coaster! The layout was so unique with all the elements and the launches. That vertical launch was wild! The bouncing was certainly unqiue lol the theming was incredible! It really created a great atmosphere. Hopefully your next rides are better!

the reason why you stop in the middle of the ride is because you teleforted via electricity to the 2nd tower and thats why you stopped and then the 2nd half is that you travel back

Anyone who hasn’t yet been to Europa Park needs to book their trip now! This thing is insane 😃

Wow..i hope i get to ride this soon..looks absolutely amazing..thank you guys for all the coverage! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

And that rush is why i dont like opening days. Ive heard of people being crushed, trampled and badly injured on opening days. I hate it. Ive experienced one before but not for a theme park. And the crush was so bad! But the ride looks epic!

I was saying to Sean Evans, I’ve really been looking forward to seeing this open more than any other. Europa park have a good line up but nothing stand out, nothing really you can’t experience better anywhere else but I think that has now definitely changed, they’re giving Phantasialand a run for their money when it comes to unique & impressive coasters

Terrible operations for opening day, some people could have been hurt, but the coaster looks amazing! Hope you guys had fun and it’s a great addition go the park. 👍

you getting closer and closer to the station gave me butterflies like I get when going on a new ride for the first time! I can't wait to get out there and ride it myself! Shame about the chaos at the beginning looking forward to hearing your thoughts after a few more rides...take some ibuprofen shawn for that headache hehe, hope you're okay though!

You asking if Charlotte was okay was adorable. Glad you’re okay

I hope Thorpe park is watching and taking notes for when hyperia opens.

And this guys is why you are prob one of the most popular bloggers and why I follow you the most you could just say everything is great but you’re so honest it really is great feedback and hope the next ride you have is a lot more enjoyable

Getting a live reaction to the coaster was excellent! - First launch of Voltron, a coaster we've been excited about for years, what was Shawn going to say? Something poetic? Something that stands the test of time? Something that will go down in history.... ...no - It was "Oh, well that was weird" hhahahahah! Excellent!

Well done to both of you, vlogging still though all the crush of people! 🙌⚡️

So glad you and Charlotte are ok from that chaotic start, amazing queue line and theming, world class, abysmal first day, very disappointing from such a phenomenal park, lessons need to be learned. Love you two and all that you do❤️

I'm glad you looked after Charlotte

I love the speed at which you guys edit and upload these vlogs!

Wow, that was some extremely poor organisation for an opening day - looked absolutely awful and to seriously have only one member of staff directing the humongous crowds is absolutely shocking. Everyone who visits a theme park should have the right to feel safe and comfortable as safety should always be the number one priority at any theme park around the world and it’s such a shame that Europa Park - a world class theme park, failed to protect their guests. This could have resulted in serious injury especially for those using wheelchairs so I’m so glad your both ok. You’re so thoughtful and considerate for looking after Charlotte and making sure she was alright. However, the negatives aside, the ride is absolutely phenomenal and Mack have done an absolutely incredible job, the theming is top notch and the area looks fantastic! Glad you had a great time :D

I honestly think opening day reviews / rides are not the way to go , it’s better after at least a little while to iron out issues before a truly accurate review .

Great vlog as always guys, looking forward to more ride reviews this week. Bit of a rough start, hope Charlotte is ok.

I love the honesty from these videos! Thanks for the video

Was great to meet you both today, thanks for stopping for a chat in the shop after the ride 😊 really glad you’re ok Charlotte! And sorry you had such a disappointing first ride ! 😬 I loved my first ride so I’m glad to hear you had better rides later on ! Looking forward to hearing your in depth review 🙂

I hope Thorpe park have a better system for hyperia opening day!

What an absolute shambles! I felt so anxious just watching you guys in that crowd and knowing a crush was coming. Unbelievably dangerous and all for their social media videos. Hopefully nobody was hurt on the day and that they learn a big lesson from this mess. Saying this before I’ve seen the POV so truly hope the ride was worth putting yourself in peril to bring us along 💙

I stumbled across your channel last week while planning a Cedar Point trip… since then I have watched 50+ videos on both your channels. You and Charlotte have such a delightful personality and have motivated me to visit so many more parks🖤

Looks fantastic, great theme! Very bad crowd control though! One reason I avoid opening days haha

first 30 sec can see the excitement in your eyes. Well done for looking after charlotte, bless her, glad she is ok

Pretty sure Richard Hammond is more afraid of the car than the ride 😅

Awww awesome video xx Hope Charlotte was ok, and ur head didnt hurt for long! X That clearly was a breach of Health and Saftey rules and should have had a lot more staff and security from the start! Good first impressions of the ride, and the theming looked incredible especially from the dancing Teslas! X

Thank you for taking so much effort to give us a impression of the new coaster

Great video Shawn and Charlotte from Voltron Nevera at Europa Park in Germany. keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte. 😀😀👍👍

Looks amazing. I'm hoping to go there for the first time soon

Hi Shawn was nice to bump into you today! Me and my brother managed to ride it 8 times after our 1st ride with you I agreed, but it really depends on train and seat on the ride. Row 2 and 3 avoid the outer seats. Back and front row you are safe to sit anywhere. Best seat is the back right follwed by front left! Hope you have a better day tomorrow its my new NO.1 😮

Your videos really add so much to my day. I really need to get to Europa park in the future.

Looks amazing can’t wait to ride!!!!

So sorry to hear what happened to you guys 😢 glad you are both ok. Like you say all themeparks need a much better system for ride openings. Hope you your next rides on Voltron have been much better. It looks so epic!

OMG that was manic 😮!! Although your initial reaction wasn’t the greatest, watching from the comfort of my sofa, it looks like an amazing ride!! I’d be sure to sit in the middle though 😂 Great vlog 👍🏻

Been to this park once, and it's awesome, I was just thinking about how many people have fallen into the river/pond when rushing to the rides 😂

Looks awesome!

And this is exactly why I like Disney's new way of opening rides. Virtual Queue is the way to do openings. No big crush. I know it means some people don't get to ride but it makes it so much safer and so much better. Plus it frees up the day to do other things

That crowd level, wow- that amount of people pushing is dangerous, hopefully no one got hurt- good you’re looking after Charlotte!! The ride looks amazing !!

Thank you to show us once again a chaotic opening day of a major ride. Many years ago I did the same thing with the opening of Blue fire and it was horrible. So I decided to go to Hansa park, Heide park and Phantasialand instead. I had amazing quiet days. Black Mamba, Karnan or Fluch der Demonen might not be Voltron, but they're still an amazing rides. But thank you for showing us this. It brings back memories. Dangerous to be there and a very poor organized.

Nice one! From everything i've seen so far, it's a great coaster! I've seen another channel mention vibrations on some outer seats as well, but not on all of them, so maybe it's only a few seats where this happens and they can improve it somehow later. Plus, when it starts to run reliably, it looks like the queue will be moving at a rapid pace indeed.

@17:23 WOW Rimac Nevera worlds quickest production car! I'd be excited to see that!

The initial chaos looked scary. I hope that the next rides are more enjoyable for you both.🤞🤞

Great vlog, I can sense how underwhelming it was with the crush and then the experience on the coaster but you are right, give it time and a few more goes and it will be ❤at (20th) sight! 😂

Thank you both for braving that opening, hope Charlotte is ok, I won't ever be doing a first day, can't quite believe how poorly Europa did that WOW

wow the line was very long! great vlog

Wow that was rather scary watching those crowds at the start. I was thinking of the tragedies that have happened when crushes have happened. So glad you are ok. Good to see the ride review

Sorry i haven't been watching many videos lately. I got back from florida and holiday blues knocked me straight into a bad depression. Best two weeks of my life though. Did all the parks including busch. IOA is the best park i've ever been to. Will always hold so much love for that park now after a few visits

Fantastic video. Love your candor, and I love you two.

Oh my god, that was SAVAGE!! Hope Charlotte is ok, quite upsetting to see a such a lovely person get hurt, she needs to be protected at all costs!!

Your concern for Charlotte asking if she was okay, such a gent 😍

Thats such a good coaster layout, i gotta say

We have been there on Friday and Saturday and managed to ride Voltron for seven times on different trains and seat positions. You are right that the ride is shaky in some positions. I expected it to be smoother and was a bit disappointed by the shakiness on my first ride. Mack Rides have some other wheels in stock, and they tested one of them on 25th. But this train valleyed after the break run at the church tower. So, they had to disassemble the whole train and remove it via a large crane. It was brought back to the factory and reassemble it. This train was brought back to Europa-Park in 26th. We were able to spot the truck from the extended queue line. As we managed to get our first ride the doors on the turntable were already closed again - so maybe they brought in the additional train at the time of your ride. What is phenomenal in my opinion: they had some really bad issues on that day with a lot of rollbacks on the first launch and on the launch into the stall. But the whole coaster was able to recover from that situations within minutes without a need to close the ride. So, there is brilliant engineering to overcome these situations without the need to restart the whole thing. When it comes to the story, as you mentioned: Europa-Park has made a whole movie describing the concept of what is going on with that teleportation thing from the station to the turntable and back to the station. But you are right, if one is not aware of that it lacks to tell the story on ride. Regarding the Nikola Tesla animatronic in the center of the building, I have heard some rumors of possible things to come. They plan to have some AI thingies build into that animatronic so that it will react to the guests. It was built together with Weta Workshop and has more than 60 motors inside of it. But yes, I also was disappointed by that animatronic. It didn’t hype me in the way it was announced. The coolest thing about that pre-show was the “electric orchestra” on the ceiling. I didn’t expect this, and I have never seen something like this before. After all it is a solid ride in my opinion, but there is some room for improvement. And I expect Mack Rides to fix the problems and further improve it within the next months.

Thank you for this great video. Europa park is now top of the list after Phantasialand next month!

The ride looks fantastic but the operations of crowd control were terrible. Someone could have been seriously injured. Am glad Charlotte is ok from her incident. Hope you sent feedback to the park regarding this

Just watch this abit late coz been to Singapore after watching you guys last year . Wow can’t believe that opening day 😮

Awesome Video Guys 😄😄

Nice to meat you in Person. Was the Person after your 2nd ride at the Shops exit with the selfie!

Thank you for your honest review. Sadly, the majority of German KZfaqrs who were there did not mention the chaos at all. We were next to you at Italy ( my wife even had a lovely chat with you) and when the rope dropped, we were immediately pushed against the poor staff member who had been tasked with removing the rope. Later we were one of those sent away from the Greece area only to notice 10 min later that they had opened the gates to Croatia. We were waiting outside the park since 6 o'clock in the morning..... Anyway, thanks for your videos and we hope your next days will be a little more peaceful und relaxed :)

Can't believe I'm walking through my city while watching a video of a German queue

That was slightly worrying at the beginning, glad Charlotte is okay 😬🥺 bless her. Thank goodness you was there to support Charlotte Shawn. 🙏🏻👊🏻 Yet overall what an incredible new coster experience. However i can sense your overall concerns. 🎢☣⚡⚙🎩🔩☢⚡🎢

Great video as always Shawn and Charlotte, the crowd management for opening day was very poor I agree.

Those crowds pushing must have been so scary. I think I would have had a panic attack 😅 Glad you're ok!

Glad you both are ok 44:35

Great video guys, although chaotic! You could see the whole train rattling and I think Shawn, you felt it more because you were seated outside the track and Charlotte was sitting over the track, so less jolting. I think you also should have some sort of accommodation for the closing of the annual pass holders night. There sure are some bugs to be worked out!

This reminds me of my school transition to the next lesson but worse like i wish it was like alton towers where people start running then go to the side in a queue and in a holding area waiting to go into the queue like nemesis reborn and the curse at alton manor opening day would love to go to the opening day but after this vlog so glad i wasn’t there and charlotte telling people to stop pushing her sounded so horrible and shawn asking charlotte if she was ok was so adorable

I agree that parks don’t think about opening days properly. If they put a bit more thought into the whole event, they could make everything a lot more smooth and also make the guests feel more valued and like they’ve been to an exclusive event. They’d also be able to make a lot more money. Even with Nemesis, I think the park could have done security a bit better (at least in the galactica entrance) and they could have offered some exclusive merch or something like that.

I understand your complaint. But on the other hand not why you pushing in the mass when you scared something happens? But yes the opening proedure every day is dificult

Would it have anything to do with the bounce track at the beginning 40:13

Oh poor çharlotte , I could sense the worry in your voice Shawn , hope she's ok.

That must of been so scary for you both. Glad you are both ok especially Charlotte being knocked over ❤

Very disappointing to see no crowd management in place. Glad nobody was seriously hurt but it’s not acceptable. Europa need to up their game - health and safety is always the top priority! Thanks for your initial review, surprised how lukewarm it is but thanks for being honest! Not good to hear about the rattling. From an engineering perspective these trains that have occupants seated outside the track rails are fundamentally flawed - any high intensity coasters should stick to 2-wide seating to avoid this issue, in my opinion. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts after some re-rides! Thanks for taking us along, as always 👍

the outside seat reminds me of one amazing ride skyrush now this is a bucket list coaster for me

Hope you guys are okay crazy just for a rollercoaster everyone will get a go could have been so much worse x

No way. Never! I can wait a few months 😂

It looks spectacular, but the rattle is interesting. It seems that if you cantilever off the sides of the track you will get vibrations, there is simply no way to avoid it regardless of how new or fancy the ride is (i.e.wing coasters and Eurofighters).

So many people filmed their first ride during the press conference. But you guys truly captured the key moment with being ready at 7:30 🤣

40:55: The story for the turntable is actually the story of the ride, teleporting from point A to B and back, on the little screens of the turn table you can see energy loading, supposedly the cosmic energy that brings you back to the station... It's a little rough but it does the job in my opinion

I think once your on the ride and you set off your supposed to be the lightening/Electricity flowing out from one tower to the 2nd tower which is where the turntable is, then the 2nd part is again your journey back to the first tower as Electricity/lightening 😊 Glad Charlotte is OK and not too shaken up and you too shawn, your right it was very poorly organised and some one could have got seriously Injured, let's hope they learn from this, enjoy the rest of your stay 😊

I wish i could go this looks amazing

After seeing this, I really have to say that I prefer it when a park doesn't give an opening date at all. Simply open the attraction out of the blue, so that the news spreads more slowly and you can't plan ahead as a guest. Then you definitely don't have such chaos in the park.

I have a question, when you go to experience a new major ride for example here Voltron. Do you get scared or nervous before you ride it?

Looks like the best new ride for 2024 by a mile!

That one member of staff pointing people in the other direction was the park director lol

Awesome on ride footage but wow you sounded like you were not enjoying that. 😄😄😄😄😄

You are so sweet shawn for your bride to be..so considerate and caring and protective😍 very sweet..i am going in September so i will see what it is all about. I just got back yesterday from Croatia so i will see if they did the Country justice.

I've never seen a hidden magnetic restraint close system before. That's insane!

Enjoying your video on my drive to Silver Dollar City. Glad you guys are okay, I can’t believe parks are still creating these rope drop crushes of people.

😳 Just the start of the video that was crazy! Poor Charlotte, hope she's all ok. Mental scenes with people shoving & pushing. I've seen other reviews for this coaster it does look so kl. Would love to experience it. Hope a different seat option is better for you.
