It's a well themed and smooth coaster that is really well closely interwoven with the greatly themed surrounding land. It can be very intense depending on the row and temperature, and the inversions are always fun. Its only downsides are that it's a bit too short and that the second half is not nearly as exciting as the first half, but still good.

I've heard again and again from others that they still rate this coaster extremely high, but I personally just don't see it. I really dislike everything surrounding the ride: The ride ops are incredibly bored and insanely slow, it feels like 7 minutes between every single dispatch. Instead of using the second train the park just cheaps out and exclusively uses 1 train. During the ride itself, the combination of seat belt and lap bar just hurts a bit, it's not comfortable. And the theming is not just non-existent, it's actually actively bad because the ride is sponsored by a dumb radio station and a recording of one of their annoying radio jockeys talking nonsense is played on every single dispatch. And the exit is literally an ugly construction container stuffed with cheap scammy "insert 2€ to almost but not actually get the stuffed animal" gambling machines. So the overall feeling surrounding this ride is just depressing, being near this ride just feels sad and cheap. And the ride itself is also imho not that outstanding, it's just a really nice drop and an airtime hill right after, some irrelevant elements in the middle and then 4 more airtime hills. In general, holiday park is sadly one of the worst theme parks I've ever visited. If you're doing the much much much much better Phantasialand / Europa Park / etc. that are a few hours away, maybe stop by holiday park once for at most half a day or not at all, because Expedition Geforce is still the only standout attraction here, everything else except the log flume is much worse than this.

This is not a roller coaster, it's a VR experience. If you go into it accepting that, you can have a good amount of fun with it as long as the headset doesn't bug out, which sadly happens pretty frequently. But in that case, just ask if you can ride again due to it. Do not ride this without the VR headset, without the VR it's 100% pointless (looking at you Teeroy).

The very first row and the very last row is just too intense because it throws you around sideways and the bad lap bar stretches across both seats, it feels unsafe and hurts and also rattles a ton on those seats. After only riding in those 2 rows, I felt awful and never wanted to ride it again. However, after giving it a third chance in the middle, it was fine and quite good. I would recommend (if the queue is short) to start with the row exactly in the middle and continuously go back a few rows with each ride.

You don't ride Euro Mir because it's a roller coaster, you ride it because it's just a fun relaxing experience that happens to have a pretty nice, rather intense coaster at the end. The soundtrack is great and the outdoor section before the drop gives you a great view of the rest of Europa Park. Luckily, the restraints don't actually bother me, but I can see how they can be pretty hurtful for other people or if you don't prepare yourself for the very sudden break run and your knee gets thrown against the front of the train. Also, an original trainings module of the Mir space station is right above the queue line and can be visited as a pretty interesting museums piece, highly recommended to also go in there once.
Edit: during the winter event, when it's fully dark, the view both from the top and during the ride is absolutely phenomenal, the thousands of lights on the huge mirror towers combined with the already fanastically lit rest of the park is absolutely amazing. When you look up while riding through that, especially in the front row while rotated forwards after the drop, you get the probably greatest night ride view of any coaster.

In the beginning it can feel a bit too fast and you might feel the urge to brake, but sadly the rest of the layout is rather slow and pointless. But the fact that you see your exact time at the exit that you feel the urge to improve on and the decent theming and rather unique/interesting ride model still makes this a decent attraction with a horrible capacity. The fact that many people wait 30m+ for this is sad, it's absolutely not worth that.
It's way too forceless and also a bit rattly. The launch out of the station is a pretty fun effect, but the rest just feels pointless due to no forces...

Rode it once first row, no interest in riding it ever again. It wasn't even really uncomfortable for me (because it was cold and so I was wearing a bunch of clothes that were padding my shoulders/head etc.), but this coaster is just rather pointless. It's not fast, your view is heavily restricted due to the (very much needed) thick cushioning that the seats have for your head which makes the inversions less interesting, it's not really intense, it's rather short, it's just not a good roller coaster. The most fun I had with this attraction was standing in the queue line, seeing the "Iron Claw" entrance sign on the station and then looking to the right and seeing a sign that says "Joy was never an option". I know that it's part of the (very lackluster) theming, but I choose to believe that the person that put this there was aware how fitting such a sign is for an SLC.
