[2025] Europa-Park General Discussion

[Rob]

I hope the motif at the end of the soundtrack remains!

Looks like the first of the themed festivals begins this weekend, with the Dutch Festival taking place on Saturday and Sunday. This will be followed next weekend by the English Festival, which I absolutely cannot wait to experience, I am sure it will be superb! The full schedule of themed festivals can be seen here.

What’s the policy on drinking beer in the park? Can you just buy a beer from a bar and walk around with it if you want? Even those big ones at the german beer garden?

 

[Rob]

If you get beer in a (reusable) takeaway cup then you can take it wherever you want in the park, although not in ride queue lines.

Many places serve beer in glasses, and those should be consumed at the venue you bought them from. I don't suppose there is anything stopping you from walking around with one, although it's not something I've ever seen in all my years of visiting!

Great thanks, looking forward to walking round with my dad in the summer sunshine and he’ll love that !

Can even take beer on the train, Josefina's and the EP Express, but not the Panoramabahn

Was going to say I specifically bought a beer to drink on Joesfinas. Who cares if it was 11am! Was a nice Silver Star pint cup as well so I kept it.

The panoramabahn is the train, no?

 

[Poisson]

The panoramabahn is the train, no?

Yes. brain fart. Monorail, whatever the small one is called.

Ah I loved that. All the transport rides are amazing, train and openair monorail in particular weave in and out so well. Just hope my fat Dad can get in ok

A few backstage updates have been shared on Instagram today, they include:
- Brand new fire station and hub for security team and emergency call centre. This is across the main road near to the staff parking.

- New parade vehicle storage hall, plus new rehearsal rooms and costume workshop. This is build near to Voltron that’s been build the past year or so.

A new Grand Prix of Europe trailer recently dropped:



A few Easter Eggs:

The wooden coaster from Das ZeitKarussell (?) and a Mack Wild Mouse in the background. The Heinrich Mack Wagenfabrik globe on the carousel itself.



And the carousel references to Das ZeitKarussell, Nachts im Park and Rulantica.

The best news from this is the renovation of the toilets in the English themed area, much needed!

They are nice, but not very spacey. When you are there, look at the portrait gallery, they are funny!
