Matterhorn Blitz • Europa Park

Theming Nice surprise! Capacity

I'm not the biggest fan of Wild Mouse coasters but this is definitely one of the better ones. The theming is really good and immersive, even in the queue, while the lift in the beginning is a nice touch that fits the whole vibe of the ride. Matterhorn Blitz suffers from limited capacity, though, which often results in longer waiting times which are not always worth it. Trying to get on it towards the end of the day is usually not the worst idea, in my experience.

First Drop Nice surprise! Intensity Headbanging Capacity

It was very fun and the special track was unexpected. The rest of the layout was pretty pointless and was just a regular wild mouse. It was on the better side of wild mouses but could still be better

It's an older coaster from Mack, at ride you can feel her age.

Theming Fun Smoothness

This awesome coaster suprised me very much! Unlike other family coasters of Europa-Park, this one is completely smooth. It was fun and had very funny theming because I'm Swiss and it was interesting to watch the (for farmers not so wrong) stereotypes. The lift is nice and the ride too, mostly because of the first drop wich felt pretty fast. Give this wild mouse a go, you will not regret it!

Fun, but nothing special

Pointless

I guess I just don't like Wild Mice. There's nothing interesting for me here, I felt nothing doing this attraction.

First Drop Fun Discomfort

Living in Swizerland before, I feel like the theming was on point, with the elevator lift ascending to the top being the best part of the whole thing, with chickens surrounding all around you.The only dissapointing bit is that the ride feels like its throwing you around which I sort or dislike.

a good ride,fisrt drop is very fun,the elevator was a surprise. not a very confort ride,like the other ride like this

Nice surprise! Layout Capacity

I expected a classic wild mouse with some good theming, but it was far more than that. The elevator in the beginning was a good surprise and the layout had some fun drops and hairpins. The capacity is low so you can be waiting a while. I also find the animatronics in the queue creepy and outdated. But besides that the queue looks pretty good.

First Drop

the best part is the lift.....

First Drop Theming Fun

This is a great wild mouse. The train goes up not with a chain lift but with a wacky elevator lift. The first drop is good. It doesn't provide much airtime but it's fun nonetheless. The lateral G forces are great and the ride still manages to remain relatively smooth. It's one of the better wild mouse coasters out there. Update June 2024: This is another coaster where I don't have much to add. Smooth, nice drops. Not much airtime but the drops are zippy. And the trains are rather comfortable, though a little camped. A weird thing is how the trains rock a little when you get on them. It has 12 cars available, and seemed to run all of them on both of my visits.

An above average wild mouse, and that's coming from someone who likes wild mice much more than the average person. It has nice theming in the queue line and the ride is very good. It's listed as a custom wild mouse on rcdb, but it's actually a modified large park model with an elevator lift instead of a chain lift, which is pretty cool. In the lift you sway side to side, because it has a two elevator shafts in one space (if you don't understand me, take a look at Speed at Energylandia's elevator lift system). After that, it has a nice first drop and some nice turns and dips following, some of which pass some theming. Truly a wild mouse deserving to be in a big park like this.

Matterhorn Blitz is an older rollercoaster, and I notice that. I always ride it when I go to Europapark, but I never take a second turn.

Great wild mouse coaster with a few unique elements and great theming. The ride's area and the queue are themed beautifully. The ride begins with an unique vertical lift which takes you by surprise. After that you have a large drop which is pretty unusual for a Mack wild mouse. After that follows your usual wild mouse layout with some nice near misses. Overall a great family coaster and a more unique twist on the classic wild mouse.

Smoothness Capacity

Out of all the wild mouse coasters I've ridden, this is easily the best one. I still don't like the tight turns found on this type of coaster, but Matterhorn Blitz doesn't hurt at all. The first drop also isn't bad at all and the theming is great, as expected from Europa-Park.

First Drop Theming Fun Capacity

I'm not very fond of Wild Mouses in general, and yet this is the best I have ridden. The theming, specially in the queue and surroundings, is really nice, as typical at the park, and the lift is fun. One of the main pros is the first drop, as, for a Wild Mouse, it`s pretty good. This is mainly because it is placed right after the lift, before losing height in the curves, so it is as high as possible. However, what follows that drop isn't pretty much, just the common turns with strong laterals. One major drawback is the capacity: in spite of the park's superb operatives, this ride mostly has at least 30 min of queue, even on quiet days, making it not very rerideable for what it is. But definetely worth riding once, and not only for the credit.

First Drop Theming Capacity

Average Wild Mouse coaster that happens to have great theming and an awesome Lifthill. The first drop is really good too. The rest is just painfully average, but this ride does what it is meant to do.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun

Best wild mouse i’ve ridden!

Theming Fun Discomfort

Probably the best wild mouse I've been on. I really like the elevator lift. The mouse turns are also really smooth but intense (as they always are on Mack wild mice). Though I found the valleys to be quite bumpy. But a little bumpyness is to be expected in a wild mouse.

Theming Fun

The theming for this ride is very good. Soundtrack the queue line. I prefer this one to the one in MPG.

Theming Nice surprise! Capacity

Make sure to ride it in the morning when waiting times are not as bad.

Just a wild mouse coaster but with really good theming and a unique elevator lift.

Theming Smoothness Layout Capacity

This is a very interesting bobsled coaster with some nice theming. It has an elevator lift up, a nice first drop, nice layout and lots of smaller fun drops. Its also a very smooth ride. Only con is its capacity and has therefore longer waits than Silverstar sometimes; Thrill: 2/5

Theming Nice surprise! Dead spots

Good theming and comfortable coaster. The layout is good in the beginning but gets boring afterwards.

Theming Smoothness Capacity

Compared to other wild mice, this one runs pretty smooth, the elevator lift is a nice gimmick, and also the queue and area is nicely themed. Unfortunately, the lines are often way too long, which are not worth to this relatively short ride.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun

My first ever coaster! Was well worth it

Best wildmouse coaster

First Drop Theming Fun Capacity Discomfort

A really fun little coaster for its type, love the theming, and the 'vertical lift' lifthill is cool when you come face to face with people on the bobsled opposite. The first drop is probably the best part and packs quite a punch with some speed. The following turns are pretty violent, wouldnt want to ride it next to someone I didnt know! ;) But then wildmaus coasters are supposed to throw you around a bit right? Wild is in the name! ;) I like the 2nd little drop where the camera is. Overall a lot of fun! Although queue line moves soo slowly ! If its anything more than 25 mins I don't wait for it.. it just takes waaay too long !

Fun

Best wild mouse ever. Love the vertical lift and the setting. Very smooth.
