<3 <3 It makes me happy that they appear to have located a launch coaster in the same relative location as Warner Bros Movie World has its accelerator (Both parks have very similar layouts)

These Movie Parks and their corrugated sheds! Hope this has a fun pre-launch segment too!
Edit: I remembered it's a shuttle coaster so maybe not :p

This will be named "Star Trek: Operation Enterprise". It will be the second tallest ride (after the drop tower).

Press Release, 06 July 2016
“Star TrekTM: Operation Enterprise”
Opening in Movie Park Germany in 2017
Worldwide singular Star Trek licensed roller coaster will be second highest structure in Park

(Bottrop-Kirchhellen, 06 July 2016)
The guests in Movie Park Germany can expect an exceptional roller coaster in 2017. The coaster will not only be the second highest construction in the park but will also be a worldwide unique attraction in an amusement park utilizing Star Trek.

“We are excited and proud that we obtained the Star Trek license from CBS Consumer Products in the USA. Through this we are redefining the benchmark for Germany’s largest film and amusement park,” states General Manager Thorsten Backhaus.
For 50 years, Star Trek has appealed to generations with iconic characters such as Captain Kirk, Spock and Captain Picard.

The manufacturer of the ride also reinforces the park’s focus on quality. “For this significant project we have selected to work with the Company Mack Rides, the largest German manufacturer of roller coasters and amusement park attractions,” says Thorsten Backhaus. The company works internationally but the construction of a roller coaster in a German amusement park is something really special. Christian Freiherr von Elverfeldt, CEO of Mack Rides, is happy about this. “With an average of 90 percent of our products produced for
export, it’s really special for us to construct such a fantastic coaster in Movie Park Germany.”

The City of Bottrop’s Council has provided the final approval for the construction of the coaster -punctually for the Park’s 20-year anniversary. Thorsten Backhaus is pleased about it: “We appreciate the trust from Bottrop and we can hardly wait to really start with this prestigious project.”

The future position of the roller coaster will be located directly in the entrance of Movie Park Germany. Its impressive silhouette will be the eye catcher for the guests when arriving in the park. “Only the Free Fall Tower ride in park will be higher,” states the General
Manager when describing the dimensions of the project.

The new coaster will be what is known as a launch coaster, with which the guests will begin the experience with an accelerated catapulting and not first drawn over a hill with a respective drop. “We have an element in the routing, which is unparalleled in Europe and will definitely surprise our guests,” said the General Manager, revealing an initial detail of the coaster. In the coming weeks the
construction of the tracks will be started.

With the realization of this roller coaster, Germany’s largest film and amusement park is not only developing further its portfolio for family and teenagers, but also is directly reacting to its guest’s input, explains General Manager Thorsten Backhaus. “Guest research, which is regularly carried out in the park, has provided us with clear input that they wish a new major thrill attraction. In 2017 this wish will be fulfilled.”

Based on the first leaked image and the layout of footers seems we are looking at something like this. Looks like it uses the same style transfer track and launch system the Intamin launched coaster "White Dragon In The Sky" does in China.

So it is a sort of shuttle?? Not a continuous circuit track?

So it's Mack's version of that Chinese Intamin, but themed to Star Trek.

Sounds like a good investment!

Although I appreciate the job this guy does with coaster animations, he must have no spare time in his life at all.

This is my home park and I said i'd never go back there until they got a decent new coaster, So I'm glad someone out there was listening to me.

WBMW in Aus and Movie Park have very similar layouts....love that they put a launch coaster in exactly the same position in the park, and even have a turn through a building.

I know that Movie Park Germany used to be Warner Bros. Movie World Germany. But does anybody know if these parks still have a partnership even though they're run by different companies now? Could explain why they're going for a very similar ride that was seccessful at their "sister" park.

Re: Movie Park Ger|Star Trek Operation Enterprise|Mack Launc

So would we envision this being themed to the Star Trek movie reboot? New TV series due out?

Movie-Park has posted a video showing the construction site as well as footage from the making of the track at MACK Rides.

According to Twitter friends having visited the Star Trek 50th Anniversary Convention in Las Vegas last weekend the coaster was also featured in a CBS "New Star Trek products" reel.
