Van Helsing's Factory is a steel-enclosed roller coaster located at Movie Park Germany in Bottrop. Built by Gerstlauer, it replaced the defunct Gremlin Invasion ride and opened on 18 June 2011. The park transitioned from Warner Bros.-themed attractions to a horror theme after being acquired by Parques Reunidos in May 2010.

The roller coaster is themed around Abraham Van Helsing, with an exterior resembling a 1950s American garage and the interior depicting his factory for vampire hunting. It features single cars on a 400-meter track, reaching heights of 8 meters and speeds of up to 36 km/h. The ride's structure is unique, using a base frame filled with sand for noise reduction.

The experience involves riders entering from the Streets of New York area, moving through various turns, lift hills, and descending into themed areas before returning to the station to conclude their mission.
