80% of the commenters were only to Disney or Universal and seem not to know that not every park has tens of millions to spend on a ride. Making it completely indoors would have nuked the parks budget. It's a great ride for what it wants to be
This ride is really fun, it has really smooth flying-like feeling. And the theming is lovely - the waiting area, the bridge and the hallways are very Star Trek-y. The ride itself is more fun and more impressive than it looks in the video.
@@drewsapp4384 a good point. It seems that queue is the closest thing anybody will be able to walk throught the Enterprise D bridge now that the Vegas experience is long gone.
This ride honestly is so much more fun than it looks in POVs. When it first opened, based on POVs I wasn't expecting much more than a "solid" ride, but when I got to ride it, I was blown away, by how good this ride actually is. Especially in the front row, where the inversions really give you some serious hangtime.
The part where you first come in and then walk around the bridge reminds me of the attraction they used to have at the Vegas Hilton. It wasn't a rollercoaster but one of those immersive simulations where it felt like you were flying around. It was cool. They also had people dressed as Klingons, and other ST characters. It also involved a staged play scenario where it starts off like you're taking a walking tour and then all of a sudden they call a condition red and all hell breaks loose and they take you into what seems like a turbo lift but all of a sudden it goes dark for a few seconds and then you're on a platform being told to get on a shuttle. It was impressive how they did that.
Many people here forget that this park operates on a far smaller budget than Disney or Universal. They really try their best all the time, maybe appreciate that a bit?
@@thefalsekingslayer3717 because even if it can't match up to Disney, it's unique in the area. We have no other parks with licensed franchises here in Germany. The park this ride is in is a great experience if you can't afford hundreds to go to Disneyland in France, let alone thousands to go to the US.
I don't get what all the people in this comment section have about this coaster. Yes, it's not disney-level theming but it's really a great step forward from everything else at this Park and it's a ton of fun.
@@janpenner2002I completely agree, this is one expensive ride. This park simply doesn’t have the resources for a well themed attractions at this scale. They can’t afford to theme the whole ride.
On rollercoasters a block zone is a section of ride that only one train may occupy at a time. At the end of a block zone there is a method to stop the train, in case the block zone ahead is still occupied. This is the safety system that prevents rollercoaster trains from colliding with one another.
Agreed with all. It has a great possibility. Could have been indoor with you being a photon torpedo that launches out of the Enterprise and chases an enemy ship, shown in video in front of the coaster, until you finally catch up to it and “explode”. Have a sudden stop at the end and use a bunch of bright light and smoke in the explosion so when it ends, and the smoke clears, you’re at the unloading area.
I like the coaster, looks like a smooth enjoyable experience with a twist unlike some rides that feel the need to be over the top. Maybe a prime example of early 2000s coasters where they liked to go upside down as the new thing.
Went on this 3 weeks ago This rollercoaster is most enjoyed in the back seat. That first run forward, then rushing backwards you are pretty high up and the drop really hits when you raise your hands in the air. Great ride.
I agree, it looks like a fun short experience but it's themed for Star Trek. Where are the Klingon's and the Romulan's. No phasers or torpedoes, or even a chase through an asteroid field.
@@mayganphynix8267 especially when you compare it with the likes of Phantasiakand. But ey Movie park Germany has other rides that are way better themed.
Just a normal coaster, but I love that it's of the Enterprise-D (my most favorite starship) instead of the original. Like the other commenters said, I also wish it had more to do with the ship/show instead of what we saw on the outside. Granted, there are a lot of rides based on movies/characters that have just a plain coaster with nothing else, but verity would be nice. I like the coaster part as in saying I wouldn't want it as a seat that just tilts as you watch a screen. I would still go on it because that's my most favorite Star Trek series.
Got all excited when the track moved sideways only for it to open up to a bright daylight shot of NOT SPACE. Even if you just made a Space Mountain clone and stuck the thing inside a building or a tent, it would be better than that.
If I had designed this ride, I would have the coaster go onto the bridge of the enterprise and directly towards the viewer screen, which would be a dark star field and the coaster would go right into the screen (which is really a hole) and fly out into “space”
Star Trek really needs to be picked up by Universal Studios parks so they can build something on par with Galaxy's Edge. Maybe have a new planet rich in Dilithium wanting to join the federation after some faction wanted to conquer it so you get to defend it. But it's also dangerous and has a rugged terrain. Maybe they could do Vulcan or Qonos or Starfleet Academy if they wanna go smaller. I think a rich variety of costumes, Klingon and Romulans lurking around, Maybe a threat from the borg, and the staff could be in fed uniforms. Maybe have an animatronic Quark's as the restaurant with Quark behind the bar bantering and one of the seats occupied by Morn. It'd be fun playing Dabo on a real Wheel
As both a Trekkie and an enthusiast (Someone who is passionate about roller coasters) this coaster looked great. This Park doesn’t have the budget for Disney level theming. For what it is, it appears to be a good ride.
There's a lot of people saying it should be an indoor coaster and I agree. But it's not and it's unlikely the park has the funds to change much. One easy change they could make would be VR like Galactica ride in Alton Towers. It would still be expensive but not as much as building it indoor
My 12 year old granddaughter and her friend, Flo went on this ride. When it finished, Flo looked at the operator and just said, "well, that was rubbish." I think she had a valid point.
@@steveschindlerphotography766 Watching the video, it didn't seem like a bad little coaster. Granted, I live in an area where the nearest rollercoaster worthy of being called one is over 600 miles away... Kind of silly of them to put the 'Star Trek' name on it, though.
@@alault-cook4072 - This happened to pop up in my feed a few years ago. I’m a Trek fan, so this was nice. It’s well themed. I do with we had a version of this ride with it’s TNG theming in the states. I haven’t tried VelociCoaster yet. It’s not sized for a human like me.
Was designed under theam of earth based transports due to space at the park. Did hear was one designed to be inside but they not disclosed what park it going to in 2028. Based on info will be twice as big as space mountain and is to have double corkscrew, 4 Invert loops and 4 helix with triple leaner launch.
Initially I was wondering what company manufactured this one, but the second I saw that the launch had crippling depression I just knew it was Mack lol.
Where's the Jerry Goldsmith TNG theme blasting on the speakers? Take a page out of the Disney notebook and make it an indoor coaster with visuals being projected onto the indoor ride building!
Cool looking coaster, now an additional reason to go to Germany. I didn't get to go to ST: The experience in Las Vegas. The red alert lights on the bridge were not blinking like I would expect them to...but that's my only thing I noticed.

Boldly going where pretty much every other outdoor roller-coaster has gone before.
Even just making it indoor with stars and nothing else would have at least kept this from seeming like an absolute disappointment when those doors opened up.
The Star Trek Coaster is really unique. Also its one of a KInd thanks to its Star Trek Theme. World Wide the only holding Star Trek themed attraction. Sad thing: There is a Pre Show actually, but thanks to COVID there are no Pre Shows...
It would be cool if the cars were enclosed and looked more like escape pods with video screens inside that would make it seem like you were in space so you couldn't see outside. I'm sure that would give you a very different sensation since you wouldn't be able to see the oncoming track route.
The themeing folks had no clue what they were doing. The bridge was yellow. The lcars read out was for an Excelsior class, not the Enterprise D. It's not hard to get this stuff right.
If every carriage on the track was enclosed, instead of windows, there were panels showing the entry and warp travel combined with the congestion from the track, it could be a amazing experience. But the reality was sad.
0:22 that’s a damn good question lol🤣
That dude has a funny accent!
They do have anti-gravity in space (fictitious). So it will fall on the ground. Real live for now. It will float in blobs of liquid bubbles.
That's a damn good
Apparently we haven’t watch old stock videos of the Apollo missions huh?
@@Marty_NZ it's called English
Star Trek is about space; this should have been an indoor coaster with effects and the theme song.
not every park has disney kind of money
Or at least some theming inside that short dark area mid-ride. Maybe have Quark in there trying to sell you something?
Yeah but the music from imascore is freaking awesome
The Mummy ride at Universal Studios is a good example.
Doesn't look like a bad coaster but I agree, it just doesn't seem like it fits.

Looks so fun, would ride and enjoy 100%. But where is - space, phasers, enemies, shields down, damage, drama, thrilling escape, epic win?
...the parc doenst spend that much on quality.
@@realityisnotlogical the que themeing seems pretty awesome at least
@@drewsapp4384 a good point. It seems that queue is the closest thing anybody will be able to walk throught the Enterprise D bridge now that the Vegas experience is long gone.
Where’s it at? Star Wars
Where's the diplomacy???
I love how they kept the part about federation shuttle crafts and how they have to gain inertia to launch by shooting backwards through the ship.
Star Trek? What part of the on-ride experience is that? Looks like a regular coaster with a themed queue.
Exactly.
thats all the parc is able to do xD
At least it has theming, you don't get such a good que line very often
Ah yes sure, a better experience would have been if the riders get teleported into the movies and ride a coaster there.
@@dx06 The old Star Trek Experience in Vegas teleported you onto the Enterprise where there was a crew doing their jobs making the ship work.

Best coaster of my entire life, the experience, the enjoyability! I went on here with my best friend and cant keep a straighr face
Went on this 3 weeks ago

Great ride.
Amazing. It’s so good up until the launch and then it becomes just a regular roller coaster. The ride is so empty and dull after
Too bad it's not a universal property. They make the best rides.
That’s the best part lol everything else looks lame
Y’all are kidding right???
That was a let down. SHOULD have been an indoor coaster.
well go to disney then most parks dont have that kind of money
It was a retheme
@@deansproductions It literally was not a retheme. The whole coaster opened in 2017
@@NickyD I rather spend my money on a more quality park like Disney or universal anyways

I agree, it looks like a fun short experience but it's themed for Star Trek. Where are the Klingon's and the Romulan's. No phasers or torpedoes, or even a chase through an asteroid field.
They should have made it like Disneyland's Space Mountain. Indoors and phaser fire and decloaking ship projections. Im a little underwhelmed here.
I agree. cool concept, I also love how the coaster starts, but theming is pretty weak.
Or q
@@SWIFTO_SCYTHE I was thinking the same thing. Stars, planets, other ships. Indoors was the way to go with this one.

Impromise its more fun than it looks and was my fav coaster at the park
Well you'd miss out on something there. The ride itself is a ton of fun!
The line isn’t 4 hours long it’s about 5-15 minutes
Being in the queue looked way more fun than being on the actual ride lol
The ride is a ton of fun!
looks like a funeral on Star trek. then the door opens, and you are sent back to a cheap 1986 roller coaster ride in Coney Island
I would have designed the rollercoaster ride of Star Trek with you going through a battle scene in space and seeing the ship's getting destroyed

Classic Movie Park Germany. Getting a good IP and fumbling the ball in the execution.
Pretty cool coaster. Not the fastest, not the tallest, not the longest, but still...pretty cool!!!
I don't remember approving this installation. But I'll allow it
Hope they add some spaceships model beside the track, will add more theming
While I agree with the comments about there needing to be MORE 'TREK' content, it still looks like damned FUN ride...!!!
Such cool theming at the beginning only to be an outdoor coaster. I guess I expected too much…
Incredible I really thought I was on the starship enterprise!

Short but fun
Looked good up until the doors opened
So it is basically just a Rollercoaster with a bit of a Star Trek theme...but only a very little.
No wonder it takes so long for characters to get to Shuttle Bay 2. 😂
It should be like space mountain where the coaster is inside with a space effect since star trek is in space
Maybe they should call it Star Trek - The Butthole Buster because that was what that one girl yells at 1:30 - Ow my butthole! LOL!

I've been in enough coasters.....so in that initial launch I'm like "that's not accelerating enough..."
It's a Mack launch.
If every carriage on the track was enclosed, instead of windows, there were panels showing the entry and warp travel combined with the congestion from the track, it could be a amazing experience. But the reality was sad.
When you spend the most of the budget on the licensing.
exactly
The start is a cool way to get a few more feet of track out of the ride
Cool Thanks
Ok so it's not indoors it still is pretty bad ass!
Is there a gift shop?
Knotts berry farm needs something like this!!
Nice theming at the start , then it shoots you out into basically a parking lot . At least you tried 🤷🏻♂️😂
1:29 It kinda sounds like someone's yelling "Oh god, my phone." here. That did not sound like someone yelling because they are thrilled.
My other question is why it change tracks . I guess it has two kinds of launches
Cool video
