Podcast-Host Michael Mack, Gründer und CEO von MACK One, gibt in dieser Episode von THE WORLD BEYOND einen exklusiven Einblick in dieses Meisterwerk der Ingenieurskunst: Was macht Voltron Nevera so außergewöhnlich erfolgreich? Was sind die physikalischen Limits einer Achterbahn? Wie wird sich der kroatische Themenbereich, dessen Herzstück die Achterbahn ist, in Zukunft weiterentwickeln? Und an welchen innovativen Attraktionen arbeiten die MACK Emotioneers aktuell? Antworten hier im Podcast: THE WORLD BEYOND! -- Ein MACK One Original Podcast.
