July 12, 201510 yr comment_212888 I did two days with an 8pm close both days and found that was plenty to do everything once and some better rides around 3 times. We probably covered 3/4 of the park in day one.
July 12, 201510 yr comment_212889 It has to be one of the biggest parks in the world in terms of sheer amount of 'things' to do. If you are going to use Single Rider Benin's plan is solid. Otherwise I'd suggest Arthur > Matterhorn Blitz and whatever the other coaster in that area is called (actually I'd skip these if time is an issue > EuroMir > Blue Fire > Wodan and then work your way back to the main entrance.
July 12, 201510 yr comment_212900 Europa-Park have been giving every guest who visits today a free glass of bubbly. It's their birthday after all.
July 21, 201510 yr comment_213373 I've made a video montage of my trip to Europa Park whilst they were celebrating their birthday week. Full onrides of the following attractions are available to view on my channel as well(Ridelover123): -Silver Star -Blue Fire -Wodan -Arthur -Euro Mir -Poseidon -Schweizer Bob-Bahn -Fluch Der Kassandra -Kolumbusjolle A potential PTR/Blog may be uploaded to be forums depending on whether I have the time to construct one. Hope you enjoy guys!
July 29, 201510 yr comment_213587 A stark reminder for anyone who thinks not arriving at a park for opening is an acceptable way to do things... Who knows what you could've done with that extra 2 hours... As was mentioned though, Europa is not a 1 day park by any stretch of the imagination, that's where the main problem lies for your trip...
July 29, 201510 yr comment_213589 Europa as I'm aware is a definitely a park that can't be done or experienced properly on a one day visit unlike Thorpe park, Phantasialand, Blackpool or Alton Towers,Efteling & Port Aventura (on a rushed quiet day trip). I think it's a park where you're looking at 3 days in quieter times and 4 days in busier ones to get the best out of the park. At least you've been to Europa though (even if it's just a day) and you now have an incentive to return there for a bigger better visit in the future. I am yet to experience the many wonders here but when that time comes I'll make sure it's at least 3 days (that time will hopefully be some point next year)
July 29, 201510 yr comment_213592 If anyone's looking to go to Europa in the next couple of months, Ryanair have a flash sale at £9.99 each way for some flights! http://www.ryanair.com/en/cheap-flights/?price=250&limit=15&offset=0&from=STN&to=&out-date-start=2015-09-02&out-date-end=2015-10-30&in-date-start=2015-07-20&in-date-end=2015-09-20&roundtrip=0&min-trip=3&max-trip=7&view=list
July 29, 201510 yr comment_213593 It's a common complaint about Europa. All my friends who went in the summer said that the queues were very long.
July 29, 201510 yr comment_213594 It's a common complaint about Europa. All my friends who went in the summer said that the queues were very long. It's a very busy, popular park. The queues will be long for the big rides but the difference between Europa and say.... other parks is that Europa has dozens of smaller rides and dark rides that will remain having minimal queues. Europa also extends their hours massively every day. Reading that trip report is just the big rides (and Koffie Koppies) in 6 hours so not surprised that the day is soured by that. Good thing is neither was Zac.
July 29, 201510 yr comment_213595 August last year the queues for Blue Fire and Wodan were around 90 minutes... Is it even a surprise? Mean like, it's not exactly a complaint (especially when that's 90 minutes of constant movement, rather than 90 minutes of stop/start/stop/let 1000s of Fastrack through)... The biggest surprise for Abenteur Atlantis' queue coming out the door! 10 MINUTES I QUEUED FOR IT LAST YEAR! DISGRACEFUL! MACK SHOULD BE ASHAMED!
July 31, 201510 yr comment_213647 Rolands book "The king of fun" is now available on the Europa online store in English. http://www.europapark-shop.de/lshop,showdetail,143836754118975,en,1438367885-25230,info___media,a10839,2,Tshowrub--info___media,.htm works out as 24.99 euros delivered, I was going to wait until October but couldn't resist!!
August 3, 201510 yr comment_213814 A few updates to the 2015 parade, including the new talking Euro-Maus character, and a new Volo da Vinci float. You can watch the parade here: Click: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViUCyGqir0
September 4, 20159 yr comment_216648 So, VR Alpenexpress is an actual thing: I'm not... THAT up for this concept really, it looks fab and all but I dunno, bound to be some parks take this idea and make it dreadful...
September 4, 20159 yr comment_216657 I hope there's an alternate ride where you can ride it normally or they only introduce it to half the rows
September 4, 20159 yr comment_216687 On reading the article, you can only ride with a VR headset if you collect a ticket at the information point by euro tower or at guest relation desks in the hotels, no drama!
September 4, 20159 yr comment_216710 The actual Halloween event in park is excellent. the park takes on a whole different atmosphere and appearance. They change the music around the place, decorate it with 160,000 pumpkins and change eurosat to the pumpkin coaster. They also have "spook me" the europa park musical running, also the halloween parade. The event on park is really fun and adds a whole new dimension to an already world class park. Horror nights is the more "scary" event. this contains all the scare mazes and the vampires club. This takes place after park close and is a separate ticketed event. I love Halloween at Europa, it's so atmospheric and fun rather than scary. I love visiting at Halloween as weather is always reasonable too. if you're thinking of visiting this time of year, you won't be disappointed....in fact, visit any time and you won't be!
September 13, 20159 yr comment_217395 Europa has just won best park from the golden ticket awards again.
September 13, 20159 yr comment_217396 Shame those awards are just dreadful and change winners once in a blue moon... Sure Cedar Point will win it next year with a new DM...
September 13, 20159 yr comment_217403 Yeah Golden Ticket awards are a complete joke tbh, I never even bother with them! Like Benin said, it's the same every year but for the wrong reasons.
September 13, 20159 yr comment_217408 Yayyyyyyy! Roll on TPM going to the best park in the world next year! mC16
October 22, 20159 yr comment_221778 A small yet exciting new addition. Don't know much about this at this but hear they're getting three new rides, one 'could' be a coaster ad Pegasus is apparently too thrilling and that African area place is slowly disappearing. Also hear their express ride is getting some adjustments too which is interesting. Will be interesting to see this next year.
October 22, 20159 yr comment_221783 This is replacing the Viking area, dunno what you mean by the Africa area disappearing... Sure it'll be of good quality, I hope the play area will be suitably Germanic...
