Blue Fire is a launched roller coaster at Europa-Park. The coaster opened in 2009 as part of a new Iceland-themed expansion to Europa-Park. As the first launched coaster built by Mack Rides, Blue Fire was the park's tenth roller coaster and the first to feature inversions.

Blue Fire is a combination of a dark ride and a launched roller coaster. The ride begins with a dark ride portion lasting roughly 45 seconds. The coaster train is then accelerated to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds using a linear induction motor launch on an 80-metre (262 ft 6 in)-long launch track.

The launch propels the train over a turn that peaks at 38 metres (124 ft 8 in) high. Then, the turn leads into a vertical loop 32 metres (105 ft) high, which is the tallest loop on any launched roller coaster in Europe. One turn culminates in a mid-course brake run; and, exiting the brake run, the train completes a twisted horseshoe roll that partially passes over a lake. One airtime hill follows, and the ride ends with a heartline roll and final brake run.

Blue Fire's twisted horseshoe roll was the first on any roller coaster in Europe and the first on any Mack roller coaster.
