Europa Park

Transportation to the park would depend on how much faff you want to do...

Booking a shuttle would be painless but expensive...

Buses/Trains/etc would be painful but cheap...

Europa themselves say:

Fly to the AĆ©roport International Strasbourg and from there use the shuttle train to reach the main railway station in Strasburg. From there, take the train to reach Offenburg railway station. Continue your journey by regional train to Ringsheim railway station and, by bus transfer, to Europa-Park (see TGOKombikarte (combined ticket) Europa-Park).

Train is the best way from Strasbourg in my opinion. You need to be warey though, when I went three years ago you have to to buy one ticket from Strasbourg to Offenburg and then when you are there you buy the next ticket to Ringsheim. You can't buy a single ticket from Strasbourg to Ringsheim.

Indeed Europa are run by Mack, but for me, the real clincher is how they treat guests, with a fantastic viewpoint on throughputs, and the overall feel and cleanliness of the park...

They also have something for everyone, and it's not just the rides that are the focus, the shows, the vibes, the look of the park are what set it apart from the majority... In reality, they only have a few 'quality' coasters out of the 11, but they are perfect for their guests... But for those who don't like big rides, there are walkthroughs, hidden dark rides and of course the shows...

They just seem to know what people want from the park, hence why their 5 hotels have a 98% occupancy rate, meaning they need a 6th hotel to be built...

In Thorpe's defence, they're going in a complete different direction to Europa, aiming at a different target audience. It's Towers on the other hand that need to take a look at Europa and improve drastically if they want to be one of the top theme park destinations in Europe.

Sure, I'll list a few

*ahem*

Silver Star, Euro-Sat, Euro-Mir, Wodan, Whale Adventure, Poseidon, Pegsasus, Scweizzer Bobbahn, Matterhorn Blitz, Cassandras Curse, Universe of Energy, River Rapids, Alpine Express, Silver River Log Flume, Vindjammer are just a few that you should ride during your day.

Queues are something that are non existant at Europa. Just visit and enjoy the magic of high through put, fantastic rides.

So Europa are all like, you know what we really need? A virtual pop band based off the characters in the park... They started that last year with a collab with some random bloke (probably famous on the continent) but now Rustis are going forward...

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...
