2017: Voletarium

Project V. Well the German word for bird is vogel. Also the ends of the V appear to be like wings. A bird's eye view based ride certainly seems to fit with the Soarin rumours.
Look forward to finding out more!
 
@Dar I guess the project logo/name/brand doesn't neccesarily have to reflect the final product, like the actual logo/name/brand of the ride will have to do.
 
Looking back at the first page of this thread the rumours were about a vampire themed ride. So that could be actually what the V stands for. Also there was talk about a Rathaus (town hall) in connection with the construction work in the German area.​

So could this ride will be a German Town Hall taken over by Vampires who fly you on a trip over Europe??!! ;):)
 
Here we go:

Going to be quite strange having a building there, I'm interested to see how they integrate it with the park and also Rust.

:)
 
Might be a bit cramped at new year with just the dome available. Unless they have a temporary marquee of some kind?

They'll either have to have the new arena finished, a temporary marquee set up or reducde the capacity of the event. I'd say a temporary marquee is the most likely option so long as they have space for it.

:)
 
It could be ready for then. They probably have a target date, because DJ Bobo is playing in it (the new venue) in January too...
 
A short article in the Badische Zeitung has revealed that:

- The building will have length of 40m and width of 20m
- The building will have a high point of 15m
- The building will contain two theatres, each able to accommodate 70 guests at one time
- The theatres will show 'short films' and be European first technology

Nothing more is known at this time.
 
Hopefully this opens with the rest of the park on 1st April (confirmed opening on the EP hotels calendar).

Just booked my stay to incorporate this date, not just for project v but I am a massive geek and want to be at the park opening ceremony! :)
 
Sorry to disapoint you, but the park opening ceremony really is nothing special! It mostly consist in a long speech from Roland, in german of course. :p
But sure you'll enjoy the empty park, and the very unique atmosphere of the opening weekend. :D
 
I know it's nothing special but would still like to go, I won't understand a word Roland says!

An empty park though, sounds great to me!

I don`t share Pedros opinion. I know many people who really do enjoy the ceremony....and I think if you like the park very much then waiting with so many other fans for finally entering the park again is great. I personally love it !

Besides: Every year there are several new things to discover. Being one of the first is also a nice touch. So yeah...english Europa Park fans as a part of the opening...I think that`s something great !
 
i'm there at the opening for many years now, and I can say that the ceremony is nothing special in my opinion. Even if I understand what is said, as I speak german, I don't really like it and I'm just impatient for the park to open after it.
But yes I love the atmosphere of the opening weekend, being back in the park after weeks, and looking for every single changes is always great fun. "Oh Look, a new sign!" "Let's go to the Geisterschloss, see what has changed inside there" :p
