Hi @ all,
well, in my opinion it depends on your personal preferences which coaster you'll like more.
Expedition GeForce is the rougher and more intense one of those two beauties. The
first drop is breathtaking and on the rest of the course you can expect loads of massive
airtime. You'll feel like being shot off your seat.
So if you like it hard and breathtaking take a ride on Expedition GeForce.
Silver Star is the more luxurious and smoother coaster of them. The
first drop is great too, but the moments of
airtime are more floating than on Expedition GeForce. In addtion to this it seems important to me to mention the marvellous seats that are typical for Bolliger and Mabillard.
So if you like a comfortable coaster and smoothly floating
airtime you should consider riding Silver Star.
All in all both coaster are worth the ride because they represent different philosophies in defining
airtime.
This difference in the definition of
airtime is the most important reason why people at onride argue about the the question, which one's the best between the two of them since those coasters opened.
My suggestion is to ride both of them if your journey-planning allows this. You won't regret it.
I really like riding both of them, although I like Expedition GeForce a little bit more.
And if I'm honest then I must say, that it is nearly impossible to compare those two coasters, so the best thing is to experience both of them.
Ah, before I forget it: That's the way from Frankfurt a. M. to the Holiday Park, the home of Expedition GeForce:

The Europa Park, the home of Silver Star, is only about 2 hours by car south of the Holiday Park. Just take the A 65 to Karlsruhe, then switch to the A5 to Freiburg / Basel, exit 57b.

In the evening you can make your way back to Frankfurt within approximately 2 till 3hours, by taking the A5 with the driections Karlsruhe, Frankfurt. You reach Frankfurt without changing the motorway, so just stay on the A5 up north.
If you are not too slow, you can manage it to ride both coasters in one day. Spending the morning at the Holiday Park at Hassloch and the afternoon at the Europa Park is possible without any bigger problems, if you don't want to ride every ride the parks are offering. So if you concentrate on the big coaster, you can have the comparison within hours.
However you decide: Enjoy your ride(s)
