This is relatively smooth for a Mack Bobsled. It's especially impressive because Mack's coasters at that time weren't the smoothest. They made coasters decades later that aren't as smooth as Schweitzer Bobbahn (looking at you Poseïdon and Euro Mir). As for the elements, they aren't as good as Trace du Hourra's éléments but they're fun. The transitions are rather snappy and the turns pull decent G forces. The straight drop is unique for the genre. My only nitpick is that it's quite short.
Update June 2024: I stand by what I said two months ago. A bit too short, nice theming. It is even better when you get a ride alone up front, which I did this time. Not much in terms of forces, especially when compared to Trace du Hourra. Also it seems to rattle a bit more than Trace du Hourra, but it's decently smooth. The key is to lean forwards. DO NOT rest your back on the seat, otherwise it can lead to a really shaky and unpleasent experience. It seemed to run 4 trains, and has 5 available.

Voltron est un véritable OVNI que l'on peut trouver à Europa-Park. L'expérience sur cette machine est longue et intense. J'aurais souhaité lui mettre un 5 sur 5, malheureusement, lors de mon premier tour, j'étais dans un wagon où il y avait énormément de vibrations. Ensuite, j'ai fait un deuxième tour dans le wagon numéro 5 en étant au premier rang, et là, c'était une véritable claque ! C'est vraiment dommage qu'il commence déjà à vibrer alors qu'il est si récent et qui peut avoir un impact important d'une expérience à l'autre.

Hyperion est un Intamin très impressionnant. La first drop est incroyable et sa hauteur et sa pente permettent d'atteindre une vitesse vertigineuse rarement égalée.
Il possède moins d'airtimes qu'imaginés, mais ceux qu'il a sont longs et puissants.
Après une première partie très aérienne unidirectionnelle une dive drop bien sentie et assez atypique nous renvoie en sens opposé et amorce une deuxième partie composée principalement de petites bosses et de virages inclinés. C'est une partie au ras du sol qui accentue la sensation de vitesse, et les changements de direction sont d'autant plus marquants avec ces trains XL.
En parlant de trains, ceux-ci sont vraiment mastodontiques et spectaculaires. De base le fait de mettre des assises hautes au milieu et basses sur les côtés partait d'une bonne idée.
Néanmoins l'expérience sur le côté est malheureusement plombée par des vibrations omniprésentes qui deviennent de plus en plus désagréables vers l'arrière et empirent avec l'avancée de la journée. En fin de journée même les places du milieu vibrent (quoique de façon supportable) dès la troisième rangée ce qui est tout de même fort problématique.
La thématisation/lore et l'esthétique présents dans la file d'attente sont superbes et totalement inattendus vu les autres attractions du parc, même si le chemin à parcourir jusqu'à la gare est inutilement long et sportif.
Au final cela reste une excellente montagne russe pour autant qu'on se trouve à la bonne place et au bon moment (de préférence en first, mais inévitablement la file y est beaucoup plus longue).

This is a great family coaster. Not too intense but it has some airtime and a few moments of positive Gs. It's glossy smooth and it's wonderfully themed. It's just a great family coaster with bit of airtime and positive Gs, great theming and onboard audio. The world's fair aesthetic also somewhat reminds me of Space Mountain: From the Earth to the Moon.
Update June 2024: I tried the VR version of this ride and it was very odd. To avoid spoiling what happens in VR, I'll just say that the coaster itself feels like a completely different coaster. It feels more intense, as you'll get folded over your lap bar and the few airtime pops can take you by surprise. It also feels much faster. There is a fun pre-show and you board in a separate station. It kinda feels like a backstage area, though it is of course still well themed. The VR implementation wasn't nearly as efficient as Crazy Bats' VR implementation, but that's understandable given that Bats is VR 100% of the time, while Eurosat's VR is just a plus on an otherwise non-VR coaster. And speaking of Crazy Bats, I'd personally take its length over the "intensity" of Eurosat, at least in VR. Without VR, Eurosat still has a far superior layout and I'd take it over Temple of the Night Hawk. I still prefer Crazy Bats to regular CanCan Coaster tho.The audio in Eurosat Coastality: Phantom of the Opera was also very tinny, to the point where I could hardly hear anything, and the lift hill audio could still be heard loud and clear. This was a huge contrast to Crazy Bats' rather immersive audio. Note that VR on Eurosat is an upcharge. It will cost 7€ per rider, and only those over the age of 12 can experience VR on Eurosat, anyone from 6 to 11 can only experience the coaster normally (not a huge loss tbh).

Don't get me wrong here. It's an ok coaster but it gets massively overhyped. The airtime it does have is very weak and leaves you wanting. The turnaround section in the woods is good but the way out to that and back is just rather tame and boring. Overall it's too long for what's on offer and I found myself waiting for it to end and not rushing to go back on. Definitely the weakest of the parks wooden coasters and does not deserve it's reputation.
