Thanks for all the info, we may need to buy a few photos when we are over there then. The rides with On Ride Video seem quite random, what is Dwarf City? I don't think I have heard of that one before?
May 10, 201114 yr comment_115290 Have you seen the on-ride videos? The quality is the best that Ive seen on board any roller coaster. Even the audio is recorded, which makes for quite a giggle!DVD extras such as the ride TV spot, a time-lapse of construction and a front seat POV.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzQJPiR_V-I&feature=youtube_gdata_playerBlue FIre is an amazing air-time filled ride btw! Look forward to riding Sea World San Diego's next year, to see what else they get from Mack.

They added On Board Video for 2011 to it as they have brand new ride vehicles and it's part of the new Enchanted Forest area.EP also do the PhotoBook - which you can look at details of on their website.
May 20, 201114 yr comment_116168 We went to Europa Park last week and what can I say, the park was amazing, just wow! We will definitely be recommending it to friends & family and can't wait to go back.Planning to do a trip report soon, complete with Food Loop pictures!

Europa Park really is sublime and we're lucky to have it relatively close to the UK.
May 20, 201114 yr comment_116207 I'm starting to seriously look into planning a Europa Park trip. I'm fed up of the rubbish the UK has to offer.The problem is though, I don't really know where to start. I wouldn't know the best way to travel, where to stay, where to buy park tickets and all the general things in order to get the trip organised.I wouldn't go until next year, but I'd like to start seriously looking into things now. Any advice guys?
May 24, 201114 yr comment_116493 A new hotel for Europa-Park will open in July 2012. Construction has started on "Hotel Bell Rock" themed around the British Colonial time in America's New England.http://eprust.free.fr/220511.htm;)
June 2, 201114 yr comment_117055 I can't believe this company/ park can constantly get so many things just right!
June 17, 201114 yr comment_118040 So not content with being the best park in Europe, Europa have decided to be the best park in the world. Europa Park
June 17, 201114 yr comment_118048 Booked a trip to Europa yesterday for 4th to 6th of July. I was planning to go with a friend but now my dad is insisting he wants to go as a father son thing even though he hates theme parks. Hmm.
June 17, 201114 yr comment_118050 Europa is more than just a theme park...He has disliked the entire Disney complex, Universal (including the tram tour in LA) and any other park he has visited. We shall see :lol:EDIT: oh also, he has heart conditions so shouldn't really be going on big rides in the first place.
June 17, 201114 yr comment_118075 OMG!I am so excited! This is TOTALLY out of the blue! Quite literally, the most unexpected announcement I can recall. I was - and I think I speak for most EP Fans - expecting some form of tower drop ride. This blows this out the water!The hotel for 2012 is €35m (£30m)Rides expense for 2012 + 2013 is €50m (£43m)Gotta love EP. Way to go!
June 17, 201114 yr comment_118078 Europa are really swinging for the fences lately aren't they. What a proud day to be a Europa Park fan.They will no doubt be rewarded for their investment into such quality rides!
June 17, 201114 yr comment_118085 Indeed. Specs:Name: Top SecretConstruction Period: 9 months from todayArea: 1.6 hecLength: 1050metresHeight: 35 Meter (115')Speed: 100 km/h (63mph)Max G Force: 3.5GMin Height: 1.20 MetreManufacturer: Great Coasters International, Inc (GCI)Capacity: 18,000 guests a day (circa 1,800 per hour) - how is this possible I am asking, given that Troy gets less than 1,000.The second tallest and second fastest GCI built.
June 17, 201114 yr comment_118094 I know Europa have epic throughputs, but even 18k a DAY is...Well, surely impossible without it having 4 trains...
