2019: Europa-Park General Discussion

True....but as long as the park gets attractions like MFC, Snorri Touren and the upcoming Pirates 2 I think we shouldn`t complain...I think the mix is still fine :)

Yep. I’m not a VR fan but have no problem with this. It’s not like Europa’s using VR to cover their lack of investment - It’s merely supplementing their additions (namely a water park, a hotel, two dark rides and the reconstruction of an entire land!)

Also, I fully expect this to be at the forefront of VR technology, similar to how Can Can and the original Coastiality innovated all those years ago.

It’s interesting the project is referred to as ‘coming to Rust’ too. Does this suggest it would not be in the park itself?
 
YULLBE will be in the Rulantica building but is actually a separate midway attraction for the resort.

The newly opened Rulantica Water Park will be the testing environment for a novel virtual reality experience in 2020. Visitors should be able to immerse their entire body in a virtual environment and explore it interactively.
The novelty 2020 in Rulantica should be nothing less than "the ultimate virtual reality experience", with which the "barriers of life" can be overcome. The prototype is being developed under the name "YULLBE" by Mack NeXT GmbH & Co KG, a company of the Mack Group, which operates both the Europa Park and the Rulantica Water Park.
According to Sven Meyer, director of Mack NeXT, "YULLBE" is one of the company's most important projects to date. The name is a play on words from English "You will be" and denotes the idea that you can be anything. "It basically describes what we are aiming for with our new VR experience: a completely new but also very variable experience," says Meyer.

The new virtual reality experience in Rulantica will be entered via a separate entrance via the entrance hall of the water park. There, visitors who have previously booked the experience for a specific time, are equipped with the necessary equipment: a small backpack with computer, a helmet with virtual reality glasses and headphones and microphone and hand and foot tracker. This is how the whole body is to be imaged in the virtual world. In two to three minutes, visitors should be fully prepared for the upcoming adventure.
Visitors should be able to move freely in a virtual, computer game-like world. Up to eight people per group can share the experience of sharing tasks together in the virtual world. Around 50 visitors per hour will be able to experience "YULLBE" in Rulantica. For the new virtual reality attraction there are two rooms with 200 square meters and 100 square meters of space available.

Michael Mack did tease back in May a new VR headset with the hashtag "midway" presumably for this project.


Will be interesting to see how they've advanced the free roaming tech used in Valerian, and also just how popular will such a midway attraction be in Rust?
 
Sounds like it could be similar to the VOID at Disney Springs.

I can’t get excited by this though. VR impressed me when it’s good, but it’s the technology which impresses me, not the experience itself. I go to theme parks for real life experiences.
 
Ahhh, Mack NeXT GmbH & Co KG, yet another Mack Company. Excellent! :p
 
Okay guys, you can put away the placards. The fire effects are working on Wodan again.

I've got to say the Christmas event is absolutely stunning. I love circuses and the circus has the best diabalo act I've seen. Up and Down are also a fun routine. The night time show on the lake is a cracker. Wishes in Magic Kingdom has Tinker Bell flying over the audience, but Europa Park has totally topped it with Father Christmas in a sleigh. You could easily spend a couple of days just doing all the extra Christmas activities.
 
Winter season is, quite honestly, the highlight of EP's operating season. Yes - you take a risk with the weather and temperatures, but really - the park is just mindblowingly beautiful at this time of year.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but Clubcard prices for 2020 are online. They’ve seen a similar (not insignificant) rise to last year, rising from €210 to €225.

Yeah, EP's prices are certainly going up steadily.

I wonder if or when we'll see a ceiling.
