[2025] Europa-Park General Discussion

I was expecting today to be hell busy as well but I guess a public holiday means no school trips - and parks like Efteling (not sure about EP) get a LOT of school trips at this time of year. Also I think the weather forecast isn't as good as it could have been.

Might also be similar to the 'bank holiday weekend' effect here - people assume the parks are going to be rammed, so they aren't. I couldn't believe how quiet it was at Alton Towers last Saturday.

I guess yesterday was the warm up as some horrific times across Europe today! Lots of 90 min waits at Europa in particular.
 
Today, the “bridge day”, between the holiday and weekend, is always the notoriously busy day; busier than the holiday itself. Along with Halloween, usually pretty much the busiest that the park generally gets.

The weather will also have had a bearing, where yesterday was less than brilliant, today’s forecast is pretty much unbroken sunshine.
 
I was there on Friday. We arrived at 1pm and the queues were all huge as expected, particularly for the water rides. Was with two 'normal' friends and we spent most of the day eating and drinking.

F&B queues were nowhere near as bad as expected, 5-10 mins for an Erdinger in the beer garden. I guess because everything is fully staffed on such days.

Voltron queue was out the entrance and looping around the ride area all day, but we got on it in 40 mins just before 8pm closing.

Saturday was still very busy but fine. Sunday Voltron was 15 minutes most of the day. Got 3 rides in half an hour via single rider.
 
Anyone remember what days the silver pass is blocked out over Accession day? Next year and thinking of visiting from the Sunday after Accession day and was wondering if the silver pass is still blocked out. the EP website does not display next years dates yet
 
Do you mean Ascension Day, i.e. last Thursday? Normally Thursday until Sunday are blocked. I guess next year will be same. Which is a shame since the Sunday is normally quite low crowds. If you sleep in the resort, you can at least get last hour entry for free on the Sunday.
