Matt 236 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Coaster Studios listed their top 25 European parks. Here’s mine: 1/ Europa Park 2/ Phantasialand 3/ Energylandia 4/ Disneyland Paris 5/ Parc Asterix 6/ Alton Towers 7/ Liseberg 8/ Tivoli Gardens 9/ Efteling 10/ Thorpe Park 11/ Tover Land 12/ Blackpool Pleasure Beach 13/ Legoland Billund 14/ Paultons Park 15/ Plopsa Land 16/ Chessington 17/ Hellendoorn 18/ Drayton Manor 19/ Legoland Windsor 20/ Great Yarmouth PB 21/ De Wasrbeck 22/ Flamingo Land 23/ Tivoli World Spain (now infamously abandoned) 24/ Bakken 25/ Oakwood Should probably try and visit a few more there. But long haul is more of a priority right now. I won’t be updating my dark ride list yet, but can safely say Pirates In Batavia 2 is arguably the best dark ride I’ve experienced outside of a Disney or universal park. It’s incredible!

JoshC. Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Top 25 European parks? oooh, that's a doozy of a question... 1. Phantasialand 2. Parc Asterix 3. Efteling 4. Thorpe Park 5. Walibi Holland 6. Walibi Belgium 7. Djurs Sommerland 8. Heide Park 9. Legendia 10. Alton Towers 11. Movie Park Germany 12. Linnanmäki 13. Toverland 14. TusenFryd 15. Hansa Park 16. Plopsaland 17. Fårup Sommerland 18. Tivoli Gardens 19. Hellendoorn 20. Legoland Billund 21. Liseberg 22. Chessington 23. Energylandia 24. Legoland Windsor 25. Bellewaerde This was difficult and probably would change order. Legendia I visited 6 years ago, and I hear the park isn't as good as it was then. So that may change. I'd be interested to go back to Liseberg and see how I feel about it; I just didn't vibe with it when I visited 7 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to go back to Liseberg and see how I feel about it; I just didn't vibe with it when I visited 7 years ago. I’ve been to Legendia twice, in 2021 and 2023. It was definitely a park with charms and a stunning flagship coaster, however the park seemed rundown with a number of attractions either looking on their last legs or SBNO. We were actually evac’d from the twin looping coaster on our front trip as the chain snapped. I mean Liseberg is nice, I like their flume ride, Balder is incredible and the rest of the ride lineup is generally staple. I stayed in the Grand Curiosa hotel during its opening with the ECC and consider it one of the nicest park hotels I’ve done so far. The Oceana water park looks promising too.

Mattgwise Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Aside from literally Lech which is excellent Legendia is a mess! Visited last two summers and run down, broken rides, SBNO and just a sense that they are massively struggling. Both visits a major issue with the twin looper including a chain snap and almost having to have fire brigade called to get me out of the restraint manually on the lift.
