June 25, 20178 yr comment_250451 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.
June 26, 20178 yr comment_250459 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 ...
June 26, 20178 yr comment_250460 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...
September 10, 20178 yr comment_252515 Europa has won best park from the golden ticket awards for the 4th year running.
September 11, 20178 yr comment_252542 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?
September 14, 20178 yr comment_252673 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...
November 5, 20177 yr comment_253839 Today is the last day of the original EuroSat. No tears. The first rollercoaster to depart Europa Park.
November 5, 20177 yr comment_253846 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

November 8, 20177 yr comment_253901 This is how you say goodbye to one of your longest serving and much loved rides.
November 8, 20177 yr comment_253902 Roland looks really old suddenly... I'm gonna miss the 80s kitsch most of all...
November 22, 20177 yr comment_254154 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).
November 22, 20177 yr comment_254162 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.

December 6, 20177 yr comment_254432 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.
December 20, 20177 yr comment_254772 Great article/interview on the waterpark and some mentions of the main park too. https://blooloop.com/features/roland-mack-chip-cleary-rulantica-europa-park/
December 20, 20177 yr comment_254773 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.
December 21, 20177 yr comment_254776 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.
December 21, 20177 yr comment_254777 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...
January 6, 20187 yr comment_255074 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!).
