[2022]: Josefina's Imperial Magic Journey

There’s not really too much to the area when you think about it. The only themed bit outside of the rafts is the food outlets. It’d take a bit of thinking about, but it’s not a mammoth task to retheme what they’ve got at the moment provided they’re creative with what it becomes.

With that said, I would be sorry to see Spices and especially Crocodile Bar changed in too significant a way. The themeing and effects in there are quirky and pretty unique.

Crocodile bar has seemed a little dead the last few times i have visited, its pretty enough but not my favourite bar on park. I’m sure they could manage to place spices in a new theme.
 
This ride sticks out like a sore thumb in the lineup at Europa. It's clearly outdated both ride technology and theming wise. Do we think it's going to be a brand new country or perhaps encorperated into an existing one? Is there any sign of both this and African Queen surviving the refurb?
 
Intriguingly since yesterday a rumour has begun to circulate on Twitter and the EPFriends forum that the ride will be rethemed to Sisi - the nickname for Empress Elizabeth of Austria; popularised by a trilogy of successful German language films in the 50s. A new film and a Netflix mini series about her are also due to come out next year.

Not really sure I can imagine how exactly the Flossfahrt rethemed to this historical figure would look. Also where does it leave Spices; on it's own not really belonging to any themed area anymore?

African Queen is as usual listed as closed during the Winterseason (along with for the first time in a few years Poseidon and Wildwasserbahn) but no word on Flossfahrt; suggesting work won't start until the off season.

Absurd. I love it.

Are Poseidon and Log Flume normally listed as closed but then opened on busier/warmer days? They were open at the weekends in December 2019, but I’m not sure they were advertised to be.

In general during the winter season if the weather allows and crowds are reasonably large they will open everything except Atlantica Supersplash and Fjord Rafting, this does mean that you can get a ride on Poseidon and Tiroler Log Flume if you don't mind the water being almost freezing!
 
There are several logical solutions like extending austria, extending portugal or extending england (with scotland) or it will be themed to a new country.
 
It appears that the Jungle Rafts will also be closing alongside the Flight of Icarus and Dreamdome at the end of this winter season. I assume this means the retheme is happening, although there’s a bit of ambiguity in the post over whether it might be a full removal.

 
They obviously won't do this ('minimalism' isn't a word in the Mack family dictionary) but I'd prefer it if they just got rid of the raft ride entirely and put nothing in its place. I generally like EP's more-is-more approach, but creating a bit of open space by the lake would be nice.
 
Michael Mack has today posted on Twitter that this weekend is your last chance to ride (in its current format), he has also posted a POV of the ride which contains a flag of Austria, certainly suggesting the ride will be rethemed to the Austria area next door

All the more intriguing then...
 
Actually never mind intriguing rumour - confirmed practically - there is also a crown and portrait of Sisi hidden in that video.

Can the next video be one of them burning those horrid figures currently on the ride?
 
This is why I don't do PR. Not even sure half of them depict black people they're that bad.
