Just two weeks after opening its latest walkthrough attraction, The Walking Dead Breakout, Movie Park Germany has started construction of a new licensed roller coaster.

Opening at the facility in 2017, Star Trek: Operation Enterprise will be the world’s first theme park attraction developed under the iconic Star Trek science fiction franchise.

“We are excited and proud that we obtained the Star Trek licence from CBS Consumer Products in the US,” said general manager, Thorsten Backhaus. “Through this we are redefining the benchmark for Germany’s largest film and amusement park.

“For this significant project we have selected to work with Mack Rides, the largest German manufacturer of roller coasters and amusement park attractions.”

The local council has provided the final approval for the construction of the coaster, which will open in time for Movie Park’s 20th anniversary next year.

Once open, Operation Enterprise will be the second tallest attraction at the park, behind the Free Fall Tower.
