Inversions Comfort Smoothness Dead spots Layout Intensity
Still very smooth and comfortable, but a pretty uneventful layout except for the 3 rolls. The loop gives a nice feeling of weightlessness, but is not very intense either.

Inversions Fun
Blue Fire, although not amazing, is a very solid ride that serves more as a stepping stone for Mack than an elite attraction itself. It’s got a good launch, intense moments, and a great final inversion, but overall doesn’t do anything special aside from being good.

Inversions Smoothness Launch
A really nice Mack launch coaster. The launch is not intense, too tame in my opinion but its quite ok. The ride is smooth and well paced, but not too extreme. A mix of inversions and non-inverting elements lead to a fine layoutwhich is finalized by the barrel roll at the end as best element in my opinion. The restraints are comfortable but the heart rate sensors are completey pointless.

Just a really fun ride. It doesn't do anything stand out or special, but it does everything well

Lap Bar Comfort Smoothness
After Wodan and Silver Star, it is the third best coaster at Europa Park! Blue Fire lacks a bit in intensity and the launch may not be the strongest out there (although it accelerates faster than many other Mack coasters) , but it's still good fun: the coaster runs glossy smooth and thanks to the comfortable seats and lap bars, the ride experience feels really free. While most of the layout is moderately intense, the heartline roll has some very strong hangtime. Theming is nicely done (except of the huge glass building beneath), especially the rockwork looks really nice and the darkride section in the beginning with the power plant and the loud siren before the launch is atmospheric. I also like the intersection with Wodan, which can lead to nice interactions. During winter season, both the track and some of the trains are illuminated - which looks absolutely gorgeous! The onboard music is a nice gimmick, but it is not featured on all trains, often defect and should be played louder, because you can only hear it in the slower parts. Altogether, I like this coaster more than its reputation and especially at night, I really enjoy riding it!

Launch Ejectors Duration Discomfort
Theming and small scene before the launch is fun, decent launch for a Mack, strong ejectors especially at the very end. Though, after a few rides it was discomforting.

Nice surprise! Fun Layout
I was really afraid Blue Fire would disappoint me because I overhyped myself, this ride just looked like so much fun. Then I finally got on it, and did it disappoint? Oh no, no it did not. Blue Fire even exceeded my expectations. Everyone says that Blue Fire is forceless and yes, this ride is definitely not the most forceful coaster in the world, but every single element is just so much fun! Some of them do pull some pretty nice forces, such as the overbank after the looping which provides some great laterals. And that last inversion. My god, that's easily one of my favorite inversions ever. Blue Fire tries to toss you out of the train and I love it. Overall a really fun, reridable coaster with a lot of variety in its layout, which I can really appreciate in a coaster.

Inversions Launch Smoothness
Absolutely loved it. We rode last row, so the experience was more intense and instantly catapulted the coaster to one of my favourites. It's very smooth and fun - you can see on our onboard video just how amazed we were throughout the whole ride.

Inversions Launch Smoothness Layout
I always loved to ride this coaster and I still do! I just don't understand why so many people don't like it. It's butter smooth, great inversions (especially the last roll), has a great launch, really comfortable and a nice onboard soundtrack (if it works...). Few days ago I've got my first night rides on it including vibrating seats, onboard audio and working heart rate monitor. The only thing that disappoints me is the recently revamped indoor queue which is ugly IMO. Operations are great as always in Europa Park!

Lap Bar Inversions Launch
Launch is kinda weak as expected by Mack. They should renew it with the same launch as Ride to Happines since that one suprised me quite well. Onboard audio is great and adds suspense before the launch!
-
Lap Bar Launch Fun Dead spots
I thought this would be a very tame mack launch coaster but was shocked! The launch actually had some bite (impressive for a mack) and the inversions are very whippy especially the heartline roll at the end with amazing laterals and hangtime! It had some decent positives in a few spots. Yes it's not the most intense in the world but it's a very smooth family coaster. Also the launch section was very well themed with smoke effects and there's some really good ejector going into the mid course!

Inversions Comfort Launch Intensity
Bit of theming at the start followed by a good launch. inversions are fun. Last inversion is quite intens if you dont hold onto your lap bar.

Fun Smoothness Layout
Blue Fire is a really fun coaster that always gets hated on because it's not the most intense coaster. It doesn't need to be intense, it's super re-ridable and just so much fun. Decent launch, good inversions, some really forceful moments, overall a really well balanced layout. It will always be my emotional #1 since this coaster marked the start of my coaster enthusiast career. Every ride is consistent and it always just confirms why I love this coaster. Edit: On July 23rd 2022 the Park was open until Midnight and I was able to catch 2 trimless night-rides on it. These were the best rides I ever got, I now prefer it over Expedition Geforce.

Theming Comfort Hangtime
High quality theming, as common at this park, with a nice station and launch area, as well as a pleasant location, flying through rocks and other rides at times. It's butter smooth, and, as usually, Mack's trains are really comfortable. Also, the ops are really good, reducing a lot the queue times, as always happens in this park. The coaster itself is really good, perhaps not the most intense one, but fun anyway. It features some great inversions, standing out the final heartline roll, which provides superb hangtime enhanced by Mack's harness. The launch isn't the strongest out there, that's true, but it does what it aims: it gets speed in a quick and fun way, far better than some drops (like the ones on most inverts). Overall a really nice ride, very rerideable.

Airtimes Comfort Smoothness Launch Intensity
Blue Fire is a great coaster, and one that’s very popular with the GP. Really smooth ride, and even though the launch isn’t the fastest and the coaster isn’t the most intense, it’s still just loads of fun. The dark ride section has some great theming (Europa Park so that’s expected), and admittedly, the train does crawl through the first turn after the launch, but the loop does provide some nice hang time, especially near the front. The lap bars give room for some nice ejector off of the mid-course, and the near-misses between the rocks scattered throughout the layout are pretty cool. The final inline twist is probably the best part of the ride, especially at the back because it throws you out of your seat.

Comfort Smoothness Launch Intensity
Good crowd pleasing coaster. Very smooth and comfortable but the launch is pretty weak and except the last inversion, it lacks intensity
-
Inversions Smoothness Dead spots
Great coaster, but unfortunately with alot of dead spots. The music and heart rate monitor on the ride do not work most of the time… just little things that would make the ride better. The inversions are the best part of the ride with the last one on top.
-
Lap Bar Inversions Layout Dead spots
This coastr was so much better than I was anticipating. The launch had some surprising kick to it and the inversions were very whippy. It does have some weaker spots but that doesn't hurt the overall experience in my opinion.
-

A good potential but this coaster truly lacks of intensity (weak launch) and airtimes. Well themed
-
Inversions Fun Masterpiece
Very good coaster. And this last inversion... so cool!

Capacity Inversions Comfort Launch
Smooth ride, sadly the launch is (just like other Macks) not very intense.

Comfort Harness Smoothness Launch Intensity
I like the restraints and the ride smoothness. The launch is pretty lame, but the rest of the layout is good. Especially the heartline roll is a surprise. The ride is not too intense, so it's family-friendly. The onboard sound and lights make the ride much better (if they work). A good ride to experience the first inversion.
-
Comfort Smoothness Dead spots Layout
The main con of the most of the coasters made by Mack that I have ridden is a weak layout. This coaster has three good parts. First is the launch if you sit in the front row, second is hangtime in the loop if you sit in the middle and the third is the last inversion. But everything else feels not well designed. So many dead spots.
-
Inversions Comfort Smoothness Intensity
The queue line is nicely themed also the pre-show before the launch is cool. The launch is not very forceful, also the large curve after the launch lacks any forces or airtime, the loop gives some good hangtime though. The zero g rolls are mediocre but the last roll was the best element of the ride. Because of the smoothness and the very comfortable seats and lap bars the ride was fun. Dispatch is really fast and only lasts like 30 seconds. I advice to take the single rider line, its very quick, Only con of it: you can't choose your seat, the operators tell you where to sit; Thrill: 3.25/5

Theming Harness Intensity
Not nearly as bad as it's made out to be by many enthusiasts. Not the strongest launch out there, but very fun nonetheless. An overall fun layout with the final heartline roll being the most intense moment with some good hangtime and a pretty whippy exit. The theming is very good and definitely contributes to the ride experience as well.
-
Nice surprise! Smoothness Intensity
Not bad and actually quite fun considering people hate on this thing
-
Harness Launch Intensity
Front row is quite good but most other rows provide quite a lame ride experience. Besides the last heartline roll this thing does not really have any highlights. One of the better Mack launches but compared to the competition still a really forceless one. I prefer to just ride the thing next to it ;)
-
Inversions Fun Layout Launch Intensity
The Launch and the 1st half is a little disappointing. The second half rescues this coaster and makes it fun too ride. I think it is a good coaster but it looks in the POV much better, that it really is.

Inversions Harness Smoothness
This was the first Mack Mega I had the privilege to board, and there's a reason why I immediately declared that I had a new favourite manufacturer. Unlike the decade of well engineered but mostly forgettable B&M's of the early 2000's (we are spoiled aren't we?!) Mack pulled the cat out of the bag and delivered inversions in a new format using hugely exposed yet comfortable trains. They got the pacing bang on, saving the biggest trick of the ride right to the end. Highly recommended. I can see why BPB went with Icon, it's a shame it's not half the ride Blue Fire is.

Really nice ride- wasnt very intense, though, but i dont really mind that.

smooth like glass, whippy inversions and good launch. We didn't recognize any airtime. What a pity!
-
Comfort Masterpiece Intensity
The que is slightly boring but the ride is well worth the wait. Super start and it has excitement till the end. The seats are very comfy so you can really enjoy the loops and spirals. The seats do have a heart rate monitor but id have to say the work only 20% of the time in my experience but it wont deter me ever from riding again.

Inversions Comfort Fun Theming
I looove blue fire! Not the most punchy launch ever, and loses speed pretty quickly.. but a launch is a launch and always fun anyway ! :) Really like the overbank right after the launch, especially if you're sitting on the left side of the train.. awesome ! Love the loop.. but maybe that's just me because loops are often my favourite elements :P The rest of the coaster is just really fun ! And the last inversion is crazyyy for hangtime ! What a way to finish ;) Really love how the queue line is right under the coaster so you get great views while waiting in line.. with it being EP i wish there was a bit more theming in the queue line (i'm thinking Wodan) .. but not sure what else they could have done with the open line like that..
-
Comfort Harness Smoothness
The launch is not the strongest ever, but good enough to be fun (and there is some theming during the launch). Love the smooth ride and the final heartline roll with hangtime.
-
Capacity Rattle Disappointing! Pointless
The ride has some fun elements however it is quite forceless and it also has a rattle in the back rows, I found it very disappointing.
