pluk Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 For the serious amongst us, the following link is a Swiss article about Europa and the Mack's in general, which is quite interesting and it proves their knowledge of the industry and why their park is quite frankly the best in Europe... http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zeit.de%2F2013%2F28%2Feuropa-park-rust-schweizer%2Fseite-1 Google translate, it's not perfect, is it?! The most amusement parks are now owned by consortia are managed by putting short-term profit targets - and have therefore not uncommon difficulties. Yes, yes "We sell Equality The rich are not our target audience," says a man whose job it is YEEEESSSS! Learn Merlin, learn... "The people blow that wants to kick the extreme roller coaster is quantitatively small, not loyal and has little money," says Gronau. Of course there is also something for this clientele, they just have to drive a bit further, in the U.S. or England in the Total Thorpe Park in Surrey. Rust in such ostentatious ugliness would be unthinkable. They've got your number! MarkC and Phill Pritchard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I went yesterday and it was amazing, the park was busy but because the park is such well spread out and has a good mix of shows and can I just say, they had 4 train operations on a lot of coasters and they were still dispatching before most of the trains even got back to the station. It was ridiculous. Didn't queue longer than 40 minutes all day (mainly 20-30 mins) and that was for Wodan in the morning. The park was beautifully clean and well themed, really had a good look at the areas and I took some photos will I will upload at some point, but right now, I can not be bothered if I'm honest All the staff were very friendly and they were all smiles. One of the best theme park days I've ever had. EDIT: PICTURES - apologies for the quality, they were taken on my phone And my favourite...

jammydodger Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 In a few days time I am going on a holiday going round Europe stopping in different countries like France, Switzerland, Italy and Germany. Its all very exciting. On the way we will stop in Germany and we are going to this park. I have never been there before and I am very excited, about riding the blue fire because all you guys talk about it so much and about how good it is so it'll be great to try it out for myself.

Alpine Express, Euro Mir, Euro-Sat, Poseidon, Pegasus, Silver Star, Wodan. Just some other rides that are so good they are worth going on at least ten times.

Ryan Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Europa Park genuinely is such a wonderful place.

Nicky Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 I went again at the beginning of August and I now know that Europa Park is the place to go in school holidays (which I am stuck with thanks to my new job). Queues were all just under/over an hour with them constantly moving. The slowest queue was for Matterhorn (wild mouse). The park was heaving yet the operations were fantastic.

jammydodger Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Went to Europa park a few weeks ago, this will just be a report on how the day went and some of my opinions on the park. First though, the ride count for the day: Silver Star x2 Blue Fire x2 Wodan x2 Euro Mir x1 Euro Sat x1 Poseidon x1 Bobsleigh x1 Fjord Rafting x1 As we entered the park I noticed how big it was, I had no idea where any of the rides were so we decided, as a group to walk in a random direction and go on whatever ride we came across. So we started walking and we came across Euro Sat. Euro Sat The queue looked huge but as we entered it we soon realized that it moved really quickly. We were on within 40 mins. We went up for what seemed even longer than the time it takes to get to the top of storm surge! Then we heard a count down and we started going down. If I had to sum the experience up in one word, I would say Intense. Just because you think that you are going to go left and then it suddenly jolts you right and vice versa. I still really enjoyed it and it ourselves pumped for the rest of the day. Overall 5/10 Silver Star One thing we noticed with the park is that on the bigger rides they cover up most of the queue so you don't know how long it will be. It was the same for silver star. The queue was about 50 minutes for this so not that bad for the tallest ride in the park. The queue line was alright as there were a few things to look at to keep us entertained. The ride itself was not as good as I expected but still amazing. We went back row and the air time we got was so good and all the twists and turns were great too. Overall 8/10 Poseidon Queue was about an hour long and very well themed this raised m expectations for the actual ride itself. However I did't really find it fun at all to be honest. At least it definately wasn't worth the 60 minute wait for it.The queue line was great but the ride was very disappointing. Overall 4/10 Wodan One word, wow. This ride was amazing. I mean maybe it was because I had never ridden a wooden coaster before but all aspects of it were just really fun. The queue was the most well themed queue of the lot and the ride was just fantastic. Before riding my initial thoughts were that it was gonna be bumpy and uncomfortable but it wasn't at all. I just loved the speed it made my eyes water it was going so fast. Overall 10/10 Blue Fire This was the one that I had been looking forward too the most out of all of them because I had heard a lot of great things from you guys. Queue was about a 55 minute wait. Not sure if it was like stealth and that the front seat is 10x better but I couldn't find that out because the front seat queue was massive. Anyway I loved it, not as much as Wodan but I still loved it. I have to say that it wasn't the most thrilling of rides but it was paced so well and the inversions were placed in the right places. I loved the idea of the pulse measure and the queue was done well with all the rocks. Overall 9/10 Fjord rafting When I saw this ride and all the signs to it saying stuff like "you will get wet on this ride" I immediately thought "rumba rapids". But it was nothing like rumba rapids I got soaked! It was a really fun ride and I have to give it a reasonably high score so Overall 6/10. Bobsleigh Not much to say really, it wasn't that fun a bit uncomfortable, Thank god I only had to queue for 5 minutes. 2/10 It was a great day especially wodan and I think that Europa park is a fantastic park. Thanks for taking your time to read this. pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroDan Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 New official video from Mack Rides, to show off the capabilities of the system. I think the whole ride system looks brilliant, smooth, great quality with Mack's now world famous comfortable seating arrangement! The speeds and specifications mentioned in the video are not related to Arthur, it's just the maximum that the system could cope with. Intrestingly, it's also able to operated in a gravity powered system. How long till we see a more thrilling suspended Mack coaster? Anyway, on to the video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsi2yd0cBzA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
