Fantasiana Strasswalchen Amusement Park is set to get a brand new highlight to their theme park in the shape of a brand new Mack Rides Stryker coaster marking just the second coaster of its kind to be built in the world.
Originally built at Europa Park, Voltron marked the world’s first Mack Stryker coaster and instantly set the industry ablaze as everyone wanted to have a similar model in their parks with reviews and initial impressions off the charts upon launch.
After months of construction, Fantasiana are set to open its very own named Helios, a true centrepiece of this Austrian theme park with an opening date announced today of April 12th.
Experience the most thrilling Ride of the Year – Helios: Journey with the Sun!
This breathtaking roller coaster takes you on an unforgettable adventure. With lightning-fast speeds, spectacular twists, and a uniquely immersive theme, you’ll feel the raw power of the sun like never before.
Step into your seat and let the energy of the sun propel you forward. Every moment is an intense experience: your journey begins as you ascend to incredible heights, heading straight for the sun. But that’s just the beginning—daring stunts, exhilarating spirals, and a hidden dark zone turn this ride into a true adrenaline rush.
With these impressive stats, Helios ranks among the top roller coasters in Austria and Bavaria, setting new standards in thrill and innovation:
