2014: Arthur in the Minimoys kingdom

It's still the general Europa discussion topic isn't it? Just the focus was obviously on Arthur.

I want to ride Wodan and Blu-fi and to a less degree (height lol) Silvia.

I'd love to visit this place around Christmas and get on the rides in the dark with all the pretty lights!

Doesn't look like I am getting to fireworks this year, oh how to replace that disappointment with a Europa trip would be so ahhhhhhh
 
Yes, Dave. But being a very regular rider of Wodan I can honestly say that most of the time the level of intensity and speed is quite high....even earlier in the day, and of most of the days !

Since most of Wodans wheels are now steel (80-90 % according to a worker at Wodan) it`s speed seems to be a lot less depending on the daytime and temperature :)

^ I'm actually quite surprised they haven't thrown in an annual pass rather than the two-day tickets.

But sounds lovely :)
