Matt 236 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hopefully it'll just be a retrack and modernisation of the existing ride. As long as they keep the ride's current charm and soundtrack, I will be very happy. A mixed but exciting investment at the park indeed.

RobF Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Tbh eurosat is an awsome ride, I would like to see Merlin givebthis sort of referbishment..... oh wait there isnt a usp or marketing gimick in it it can go sbno ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 To be fair, I would wager a good part of the reason behind this refurb is to fit in VR... Although should they add a dedicated second station for it that'll improve things massively, though I've no idea HOW they will fit in another station...

Benin Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 The Golden Tickets are the biggest sham awards going, wasn't it about 4 years ago that Roland was chair of IAAPA? Slight coincidence no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Waterpark name announcement: There's some more concept art and a pic of the sample hotel room (but I can't get to Twitter at work) milling around, it looks to the quality of Bell Rock though, and will also be a 4 Star Superior hotel...

Mark9 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Today is the last day of the original EuroSat. No tears. The first rollercoaster to depart Europa Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I guess the re-tracking will make the experience smoother, and another station for the VR will make the throughput bearable I guess too. Anyway I guess this will sort out the jolts on the ride, which will hopefully make it more enjoyable. But lets just hope the weird german rave music is kept or I will riot. I'm surprised they didn't try to fit a topspin in the dome too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPJames Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Wodan, Silver Star and Blue Fire have all been confirmed to be open for this years winter season, weather dependant, to make up for Eurosat+Universe of energy refurbishments. Wodan will operate in 0+, blue fire in 3+ and the temperature needed for silver star to run is unknown(likely around 5 degrees). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 It makes me somewhat happy that Eurosat was given a deserving sendoff, especially being a fun and iconic ride experience. Would be great if more places did goodbye events to rides when they are removed,even if Eurosat's will be more of an excessive upgrade. Opening Silver Star this winter is a good move for the park (if the weather holds out) and makes me wonder if this could become a recurring thing in future years.

Mega-Lite Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Well that looks f**king awful... Can't say I've been following this upgrade because it doesn't interest me in the slightest. Does this mean we are losing the fantastic campy 80s techno theme? If so I'm even more uninterested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshuaA Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Very excited for the addition of the waterpark.. I think you could easily spend a week at the park as it is, so a waterpark will just make the park even more of a multi-day worthy place. The theming will also probably be beautiful as this is Europa. Mattgwise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega-Lite Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 1.5 days followed by a 110mph blast down the autobahn to Expedition GeForce, to discover it's not the best coaster in the World is about how long to spend at Europa Park. Your mileage may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think a week would be overkill at any place... Even with a waterpark addition and if you have the money for the spa stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 A couple of weeks ago, I visited Europa Park for this season's winter event: "Winterzauber 2017/2018". Stayed in the Bell Rock Hotel and had an absolutely fantastic time, with all rides and attractions being open bar the log flume, Poseidon, Atlantica super splash, fjord river rafting, eurosat and Universe of Energy. It was great to see the park decorated for Winter and it looked absolutely beautiful at night, although it was also lovely to experience the park during the day time and enjoy the theming of each of the lands, particularly Ireland which I set foot into for the first time. We also got to enjoy the many special additions for the park's winter season such as Big wheel Bellevue(which looks stunning at night), magic ice, snow tobogganing, luna magica, winter starlight parade and the globe theatre Christmas musical as well as many more. We had an absolutely amazing time and I would highly recommend a trip to this park during winter(and also a stay in the bell rock hotel!).
