Silver Star @ Europa Park
Rust, Germany

Silver Star is the tallest and fastest Roller Coaster in Europe. It is one of just four coasters over 200ft tall built by Bolliger & Mabillard of Monthey, Switzerland. The other three are located at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Six Flags Great Adventure, and Six Flags Great America, all of which are in the United States. One of the issues with coasters this tall is where to put the track. As you can see from this picture, Europa Park put the main part of the coaster in the car park!
