So the long discussed monorail connection between between the EP hotels and Rulantica/Kronasar is moving a step closer. The local authority are meeting to discuss the project next week.
SourceEuropa-Park wants to connect its amusement park with its Rulantica water park at the other end of the village by means of a transport system for guests. The municipal council is now faced with a decision on the preparation of a suitable development plan.
As the Badische Zeitung reports, the town council of Rust will decide on October 11, 2021 on the establishment of the development plan. Europa-Park already expressed plans in 2019 to want to connect the water park with the amusement park. Rulantica is around 1.5 kilometers from the main entrance to Europa-Park.
So far, buses have been running between the two locations.
The current plans for Europa-Park, which are to be decided on by the local council, provide for an elevated railway four to five meters high. The route should lead from the “Krønasår” hotel at the water park to the “El Andaluz” hotel at the amusement park and will not run over residential buildings, but rather over community-owned areas along the county road and the outer ring.
When Europa-Park announced plans for a transport system between the amusement park and the water park in 2019, a system from the manufacturer Mack Rides from its own group of companies was under discussion. "We are working with Mack Rides on a system that will hopefully transport guests from the hotel to the park as if by monorail," explained Michael Mack, Managing Director of Europa-Park.
