Voltron Nevera Wins 2024 Golden Ticket Award for Best New Roller Coaster

Jul 14, 2025 | Rides & Attractions

We’re thrilled to share that Voltron Nevera powered by Rimac, the newest roller coaster at Europa-Park, has officially been awarded the 2024 Golden Ticket Award for “Best New Roller Coaster in the World.” Presented by Amusement Today, the Golden Ticket Awards are among the most prestigious honors in the global theme park industry—making this a major win for Europa-Park, MACK Rides, and coaster enthusiasts worldwide.

Voltron Nevera opened in April 2024 as the signature attraction of Europa-Park’s newly unveiled Croatia-themed area. Designed by MACK One and manufactured by MACK Rides, this innovative launch coaster introduces a world-first: the steepest launch on any roller coaster at 105 degrees. It’s not just about thrills, though—Voltron Nevera also delivers a rich, story-driven experience that blends high-tech ride systems with immersive theming and atmosphere.

The award was announced during this year’s Golden Ticket Awards ceremony, held at Kennywood Park in Pennsylvania, USA. Facing stiff competition from around the globe, Voltron Nevera stood out to the jury for its cutting-edge engineering, smooth ride experience, and creative vision.

“We are particularly proud of this award for Voltron Nevera,” said Michael Mack, CEO of MACK One and Managing Partner of Europa-Park. “It emphasizes our innovative strength and shows that Europa-Park and MACK Rides are setting global standards—not just in Germany or Europe, but around the world.”

This marks the first time MACK Rides has received a Golden Ticket Award for Best New Roller Coaster, a milestone achievement for the entire MACK Group and its many teams who contributed to bringing Voltron Nevera to life.

If you haven’t had the chance to ride Voltron Nevera yet, now’s the time to add it to your must-do list. With its bold engineering, unforgettable storytelling, and now a Golden Ticket to its name, it’s one of the most celebrated coaster experiences on the planet.
