What attractions would you add?

I thought it could stir some debate here as to what attractions we feel are missing or could be added to the park to make it even more special than it already is.

For ease this includes types of flat rides / rollercoasters or dark rides that you’ve seen somewhere else and think could add value to the park.

With that in mind, I’d suggest a drop tower. I think the park would benefit from two of these (one launch and one drop tower) and perhaps we could put them inside the towers at EuroMir when it gets removed / refurbed.
 
Has to be an inverted coaster for me. I think with Mack’s innovation & theming they could do something really special with that.

There is already three drop towers at Europa Park, Tower Tow in Ireland and two Poppy Towers in Arthur, but I get where you are coming from.

One of the things I like about Europa Park, is none of the rides have an OTSR, so if they could come up with an inverted ride system with the BlueFire\Voltron\Arthur seats, I would be up for that. The issue with Inverted coasters is you lose than openness (no head choppers for example) that you get with Wodan, BlueFire and Voltron. What benefit does going for an inverted approach give you?

The upcoming years has some nice additions (These are just dates I have put in, and are probably wrong)
2025 is the new games centre
2026 is the replacement for Euromir
2027 is the The Rocking Boat expansion in Croatia

So moving forward from 2028, I would like to see a duelling attraction. Whether its two coasters, or two different ride types. I like the idea of using the Mack seat technology, and making stuff happen to the winning or losing team. Seats vibrate, or train spins. Maybe instead of water guns, you have laser guns, which trigger sensors on the train to do something, similar to above.

Maybe a new Romania area with a Transylvania theme (It would allow them to push there MackMedia IP a little as well with Monster Family), with a trackless ride going through a castle, shooting the monsters, and as part of the coaster launch, the trackless riders could shot the train as it waits to launch out, and that triggers different actions. Maybe chuck the drop towers in there as well, and when the targets are hit by the trackless riders, it causes the drop to kick in, with different seat positions (Tilt forward, no tilt).
 
One gyro swing please.

Put it in the Croatia expansion. The spokes on the disc would nicely suit a Tesla invention feel. You could have it swinging out over the water they’d need to build to install the Rocking Boat.

They will. Between Rulantica and the Hotel entrance of Europa-Park.

Personally I would not like an open „amusement park style“ flat ride because it would reduce immersion. My suggestion: Themed drop tower „Tower of Terror“-Style in the next land near Croatia (rumored to be Romania).
 
I personally believe that a couple of thrilling flat rides if well themed could really add to Europa Park

I would say a Gyro Swing, S&S Screaming Swing, Top Spin style ride and some form of Drop Tower could really add to the park.

Something with Talocan's theming could be rather effective at Europa Park.
 
The only real gap is thrill flats, for their year round opening more dark rides would be good (they have a good range already but more would help that part of the season).
 
I would trust they'd find a solution to poor throughput, even if they add pairs of rides bit like how Vomitarium has 2 ride systems in 1 show building

Voltron is more extreme than anything I ever anticipated them building, and seems to be a big hit. The park do also seem to be keen on plugging gaps. As such, I wouldn't be opposed to something on the scale of Loki at Liseberg down the line, but perhaps the park would have trouble getting the nod from Rust, given the amount of audible screams already present.
 
Bumping this almost a year later - fresh off a return to the park! A couple of things I'd like to see:-

A fun house type attraction:- A Hotel Tartuff style attraction would work really well, fit the family market -and has capabilities for story- telling.

A classic type ghost train:- Whilst Geisterschloss is more like a theatrical experience it would be good to see a ghost train like the one at Linnanmaki - simple, and classic-yet-modern. It would be like Disney parks having both the haunted mansion and Snow Whites scary journey! Europa have loads of dark rides - but none that really have classic jump scares - and the type that leave you laughing at the end! Doesn't need to be ground-breaking or expensive, maybe cars which have air blowers and prodding seats. Like Bla Tagat at Grona Lund but with a more cohesive theme.

Flat rides- if anything something like a S&S screaming swing - something thrilling but not overly intense, and more air-timely that Vomity! A modern flying scooters type ride would also fit - but would be poor on capacity, however being Europa with so many attractions, It might eventually not have huge lines anyway.
