CharlieN Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 EP have officially announced the transformation of Old 99 into... ‘Jim Button - Journey Through Morrowland’ The retheme was already known but it’s nice to receive a logo and an overhead plan of the attraction. EP are surely the best at rejuvenating old attractions when it’s not really necessary - Old 99 did look a bit tatty however. (Also +100 for choosing an IP promoting inclusivity and racial equality!)

Mark9 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Oh my god. It was genuinely one of my favourites at Europa Park. RIP sweet Prince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 3 rethemes in one year is impressive... Poor Seal Maybe you can get them to send it to you Mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Well I certainly didn’t see this happening. Hopefully the retheme will be a step up over the former Circus setting. Still going to miss the Old 99 regardless though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I thought this news (or just the acquisition of the IP) was known for quite some time but it was clearly just rumours until now. Also worth noting that a Jim Knopf film will be released this year - increasing the relevance of this retheme. Anyhow, 3 rethemes in the France area is very impressive, it’s just a shame they didn’t put this investment into the awful English area.

CharlieN Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Double post whoops! Europa have released this very nice little promotional video for the new Jim Button ride. It’s very sweet and sets the tone of this attraction well IMO.

CharlieN Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 3 in a row is a first for me, but oh well - I’m really feeling the love for EP. Anyway, Micheal Mack has tweeted these pictures showing sample props for the CanCan coaster. It’s looking very Parisian! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I trust them not to mess it up, but I like a good dark coaster. Hoping this isn't too well lit in a way which takes away the darkness chaos. All it really needed was some aircon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Only 11 minutes this year, are they even adding ANYTHING? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Absolutely love the new additions and attentive care the Macks put into Europa each year, whether that’s a cute update to one of their family rides or tweaking shops or eateries. Europa definitely have a can can do attitude. Speaking of which, the art work looks great, although I will very much miss the original space theme too.

JoshuaA Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I love how the park do little things like this to keep the park looking good even in some of the more meh areas. Can Can Eurosat worries me a little bit- but I'm gonna keep faith as this is Europa. I'm expecting good theming and overall a more modern and smoother version of the ride.

Mark9 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 They even added to gay boat ride? Holy moses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 The Jim Button ride looks lovely with some decent theming. It looks completely unrecognisable from the Old Circus theme, which was perhaps becoming dated. Great to see Europa injecting do much love there. I just hope Can Can Coaster gives justice to what Eurosat once was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/10128/Europa-Park-getroffen-door-enorme-brand.html sadly a large fire has broken out at europa park more details soon - it seems to be in the scandinavia hope its not pirates of bratslavia:-( Stuntman707 and JoelAllen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Park official Twitter confirmed it as Piraten in Batavia... Hopefully they can sort it quickly... Might help it get a refurb sooner rather...... RobF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 I hope it doesn't damage the Scandinavia area too badly as it easily one of the more beautiful looking areas. I guess if it in Pirates in Batavia/The Netherlands then not too much was lost.. Easily the most expendable area.. 7 minutes ago, Benin said: Might help it get a refurb sooner rather......

Hethetheth Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 But Universe of Energy is being refurbed right now anyway. I hope there's not much damage.

Lets hope its a drastic refurb, as holy crap was it dire, especially in a park with Arthur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
