No - he's actually called Böckli, but he's nicknamed Oyro Goat by some people.

Ohh right ok, was going to say!

Does anybody know if there have been anymore updates on Ireland lately?

 

[Rob]

Last I saw, Ireland was still a clear flat site. I'd like to hope there has been progress since!

This appears to be opening in late spring according to http://www.europapark.de/. When selecting 2016 Novelties you are presented with the following message

Welcome to Ireland!
A grass-green oasis awaits the whole family from late spring 2016

Well spring ends on June 21st or somewhere around that time, which is what we expected anyway.

A teaser trailer for the "Night.Beat.Angels" club/party/show thing has been uploaded.

Double post alert, but EP have uploaded their first Happy Family trailer (the new 4D film for 2016). Currently, 'tis only in German, but I'll edit this post once they've uploaded the English version.

Meanwhile, new ride incoming!

So no hiding what that is then!

Finally! I always thought EP was missing a petting zoo.

 

[AstroDan]

Nice to see this is a Zierer rather than a Zamperla.

Ireland update!

First, a couple of concepts that EP have shared:

The slides shall remain!

Second, some construction photos curtsey of EPFans.info:

Good to see some real progress at last. There will no doubt be plenty of updates once the park re-opens next weekend.

 

[AstroDan]

Oh that little coaster looks a delight! How CUTE!

 

[Sammy]

When all said and done, this is why we all love Europa Park. Once again, they've pretty much took exactly what they had an improved it tenfold!

Fantastic stuff once again. Though I'll likely be taking a year break this season, this plus the speculation for 2017 along with what was already there is just making me so excited to return

 

[Graeme]

SLIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all.

 

[AstroDan]

I am delighted those slides are back. Slides plus theming!

 

[Spike]

Europa have released their 2016 promo, with a glimpse of 2017 as well.

Is this a re-theme/touch up of an existing area or a whole new area completely? I haven't kept up to speed? Themed slides are always a winner in my eyes!
