    [2024] Alpenexpress & Tiroler Wildwasserbahn Rebuild

    Thanks for sharing @CSLKenny I missed this when you first posted this. Your post and the recent post on Facebook (Click Here) have made me feel a lot better about this rebuild, I was worried a lot of the charm the orginial version had was going to be lost, but this does not look to be the...

    [2024] Voltron Nevera | Mack Stryker Coaster

    From: https://www.facebook.com/groups/europaparkresortfreunde.official/permalink/3037402846393292/ Looks like Resort Pass holders only have ten more days to wait until they get to experience Voltron for the first time, with my work trips being cancelled, does anyone else fancy a weekend trip...

    Europa Park May/June 24

    We are visiting Europa Park over May half term (27th -31st May). What was supposed to be a quick flying visit has turned in to something a little bigger due to Voltron not opening at the start of the season. We are now stopping in the camp resort for the first part and leave on Friday 24th May...

    [2025 onwards]: Camp Resort Expansion

    Spent to much time going through the EP Fans thread, and reading through the document Rob shared in December to not really learn anything that Rob has not already shared. I did come across this image, which shows a lot more detail what the potential new layout of the camp site is going to look...

    ES Voltron Viewage: 30th March - 4th April 2024

    Thank you everyone who came for a fantastic week. Annabelle and I had a fantastic time, and really hope there is another adventure next year. I know I say this after every meet, but thank you everyone for making Annabelle feel so welcome, and thank you to all those who kindly let Annabelle...

    [2025 onwards]: Camp Resort Expansion

    They are certainly getting on with this, and the new access road to the camp site is already open and in use. While it is a shame to not drive under Silver Star anymore, the new entrance and exit avoids the car park, and is a lot easier to use. Once the new entrance to the campsite is...

    [2024] Rulantica General Discussion

    I highly recommend the Komfort Hyddas, you can see my review of them here: https://towersstreet.com/talk/threads/trip-report-europa-park-may-june-2022.6292/post-365455 They may seem a little pricey (€350 for the day, or as I like to tell myself, €6.73 per person per hour) but if you spend the...

    The Hotels: A Journey

    New Coffee Shop looks great, but still some issues to sort out. Ordered two bacon roles and a hot chocolate. The oven went in to pre-heat mode and they left the bacon roles in and then put it through its normal cycle. Ended up with overcooked buns so sent one back for Annabelle, her...

    ES Voltron Viewage: 30th March - 4th April 2024

    Theme Park tickets, and Water Park tickets now sorted. Would anyone be interested in joining Annabelle and me for 9 holes of Golf on Saturday afternoon? There is a tournament taking place on the 18 hole championship course, but the 9 hole course is still open, which is suitable for all.

    Disneyland Paris: General Discussion

    At the risk of going off topic, it depends on what passport your travelling under, but if you have a British passport, they are now being stamped, where they did not get stamped before. As there is no electronic system, boarder control should be checking all the stamps, and making sure you have...

    Disneyland Paris: General Discussion

    Not all of the impact from Brexit has come in to effect yet, although one of the reasons for this service being cancelled was due to the reduced capacity at St Pancras. I am assuming that when the new biometric checks come in to force, this will reduce capacity further at St Pancras and on the...

    [2024] Voltron Nevera | Mack Stryker Coaster

    I am really pleased about this, my big criticism of BlueFire was always how the mid brake run is not themed and stands out a bit, so glad to see this being addressed here. Can’t wait to ride this next year, it is looking really impressive.
