I will say, MACK Rides just went all out in this ride ~~ out of all the coasters that opened in 2024, this is the one I’d choose as the best one for the year. The overall experience just looks amazing. Europa Park really just outdid themselves.

@lithix4915 10 часов назад

Great review. In case anyone is interested - here is an explanation of how the "singing" lightning devices in the queue work. They're actually called Tesla Coils because Tesla invented them (though he wouldn't have been able to make them play music like that in his time - that came later). When any Tesla coil is "on" it's actually switching its current on and off really fast rather than being continuously on as it may appear. Every time the coil discharges, the huge voltage (we're talking 100s of thousands of volts at least) literally rips the electrons off of the air molecules around it creating a plasma (i.e. the spark/lightning). This also releases a LOT of heat into the air around it. This causes the air to rapidly expand as it heats up creating a pressure wave which we hear as sound (this is also exactly how thunder occurs just on a different scale.) But how does it play actual notes in sequence? Well, a note is just a sound wave that vibrates at a certain frequency. All Tesla coils produce a note when they discharge because all Tesla coils switch on and off at a certain frequency (the frequency/note that the coil defaults to depends on the design of the circuit). So, if you use a computer aided control system* to turn the coil on and off at certain frequencies and at certain times then you can make it play whatever notes, in whatever order and at whatever time you like. Hence they can play any music you want just by using lightning!

@lithix4915 10 часов назад

*For those who want more detail on the control - it's usually achieved with a solid state "bridge" and that mediates the circuit being turned off and on. This bridge takes an input from a microcontroller which uses a MIDI file as an input so it knows what frequencies to use. This acts as the signal/tone generator and so the coil can be programmed to play literally anything a MIDI file can. You can also use these Tesla Coils as glorified speakers/amplifiers and plug the device into an MP3 player/phone/computer and play the music directly through them and it'll sound just like the original music (albeit probably a little bit distorted)

@Greddward 10 часов назад

Fantastic @lithix4915! I knew about the coils but not all the technical details. Thanks a lot for your explanation, awesome contribution!

@lithix4915 9 часов назад

@@Greddward You're welcome :) The explanation I gave is simplified but it's already a bit too long for a youtube comment. As an interesting aside, Taylor mentions those devices being potentially dangerous and whilst it's certainly not something you'd want to be shocked by, the part that shoots the lightning surprisingly isn't actually the most dangerous part of the coil! There are in fact two electric circuits in a tesla coil. One to control the the frequency/note of the current known as the "tank" or "primary" circuit. The lightning shooting part is known as the "secondary" circuit and its job is to increase the voltage from the mains power (because this isn't residential power, I can't say for sure how high the voltage is but let's say ~230V) to an extremely high voltage. Anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of volts - judging by the spark length my guess is probably on the higher end. This is because higher voltage = bigger spark & louder sound. However, by stepping up the voltage they also lower the current (oversimplified reason for this is because of conservation of energy). For electricity to be really dangerous, however, you need both a significant current AND voltage. The current from the secondary circuit is still high enough to be dangerous but even though the voltage is lower, the primary circuit is FAR more dangerous because the voltage is still high enough but the current is also way higher. Therefore a shock from the primary circuit could easily kill you whereas the giant sparks would probably just burn you badly (unless you got unlucky). Luckily, the primary/tank circuit will be stored somewhere in the ceiling judging by how they're laid out in the video so it's nowhere near the public.

@BluestormShre 3 часа назад

@@lithix4915 bro thanks i wanted to understand how its done. I want to see it done in the U.S tho like you pick a song and it does that. Or maybe is it just one specific sound per coil?

@lithix4915 2 часа назад

@BluestormShre It's definitely possible to have them play music "on-demand" as long as you could provide either a device that can output audio whilst playing the song (phone, computer, mp3 player) or a MIDI file. Doing it the MIDI route would be more work as you'd have to either find a pre-made MIDI for a given song or make it yourself but it's not impossible to have a "jukebox" style list. You can also directly hook up electronic instruments like keyboards/electric guitars and play the tesla coil that way (please note any device you plug into a tesla coil is potentially at risk!) When it comes to capabilities, these coils can play simple chords (max 2-3 notes at a time), but you'd most likely need multiple coils to recreate complex songs. The other issue is that these coils are very temperamental and can sometimes burn through components and break if they play really long notes or for extended periods without being allowed to cool down (the primary circuit in particular will have a lot of current flowing through it so it produces a lot of heat that can destroy the capacitor bank or solid state bridge). I suspect it's for all of these reasons that Europa Park has 4 coils, which is the most coils I've seen in one place like this (usually it's one or two - these things are damn expensive to build at this scale). Finally, if you're interested in coils, you can buy "build your own mini tesla coil" kits (though they require some basic soldering and electronics knowledge, so you may need help putting it together). The one I own actually has a jack audio input I can plug a device into, and I have actually played music through it as if it were a speaker, it's really cool.

Voltron seems like what happens when a manufacturer pulls out all the stops. I feel like it’s the perfect example alongside rides like Velocicoaster, Toutatis, and F.L.Y. of how nuts modern coaster technology can be, while still maintaining unbelievable narrative/theming quality.

@maxhagenauer24 2 часа назад

The length and launch and turntable and all of this ride is so good. It reminds me of Hagrid's where its so long with so much track and trains everywhere with so many elements.

So excited to see how you guys loved it! It really filled the gap that Europa Park had and it's become my favorite coaster i've ever ridden. The operations on it alone are stunning with an average capacity of 1700!!! people per hour. That Europa Park basically always manages to hit because of the moving station. Incredible ride

@charleskless4019 9 часов назад

This is what Kings Island NEEDS to announce as their 2026 Coaster. Give it a clear #1 in the park. Don't need to spend all the money on all the crazy theming. But an intense standout launch coaster with 6 inversions would work so well.

@CoasterStudios 6 часов назад

a Stryker would be a great addition there!

@CheeseSteakJoe 9 часов назад

I got 8 rides of it this weekend & it is crazy good, right up there in a tier with only ride to happiness & steel vengeance of what I've ridden so far IMO. My first ride was back row & I got a super smooth train, no rattle even on the wing seat which maybe spoiled me a little, I was heavily considering it being my #1 at that point. Of my other rides I got 1 more smooth one in front left (best seat) but the rest were some variation of shaky to rough. We got unlimited access through the virual queue on the european coaster club event & I will say after 3 back-to-back rides I had a headache, still brilliant even with the roughness though! After the first couple of major Mack rides I had been on I wasn't expecting them to hit it out of the park like this, but after doing Ride to Happiness & Voltron within 1 month I can't wait to get back on both, and also can't wait for some of their new projects!

EP is my home park (going an average of 20 times per year since 2021) and we can't be disagree about the fact EP have FINNALY a signature and thrilling coaster! I'm at a 23 rides on Voltron and comparing to my 94 credits, I can confirm this is a BANGER! (They're some vibration on the train yeah, but still wonderful) So Voltron is my Top 2 (Behind RTH of course, and front of Kondaa, Taron, Untamed, F.L.Y.) and yeah, just come to EP and promise, your day (Or 2 maybe) will be incredible! :D

I had the chance to ride this thing not too long after you did at the beginning of October. I had one ride front row in the right, 6 rides third row left, two rides back right and one in the middle I think third row. Boy, there ARE rougher trains than others. My smoothest ride was I think the very first one and there were some rough rides following on the outer seats on the left side. Amen to everything you said about the coaster. I love the experience in the queue which is then topped by this amazing piece of engineering. If you can, go to Rust and ride this thing. I went 12,5 hours from 🇦🇹 Austria and it was completely worth it.

If you did, you would come off ill You can put all of the elements you want on a coaster with stunning theming. i love theming also, but if you want sudden turns drops constant without any actual coaster in a compact shakey layout in places, then Voltron is for you
