[2025] Europa-Park General Discussion

I’m really unsure how the roof on the arena is going to turn out. The interior supports look like they may get in the way of the views.

I anticipate that the main driver for this is to be able to operate the area as a show space year-round now there is no closed season between Halloween and winter. I did enjoy the games in Winter Wunderwelt though
 
I'll reserve judgement until it's finished and I've seen it, but I am not convinced about this. Having it so it can be open when the weather permits makes sense, but it really does look like it has just been slapped on and the blue does not fit in all that well.

Surprised at a blue tin roof on what I presume is a pretty well themed building

Yep, the rest of the roof consists of traditional aged Spanish terracotta tiles.

It currently looks so incongruous that you’d imagine there’s something else to do to make it fit in better. I struggle to think what that might be though. Even the choice of colour doesn’t fit - you’d think something in the red/yellow colour palate would at least be slightly more in keeping

Likely a long way off but there are plans to introduce direct train services to other parts of Europe, including Germany and Switzerland so would bode well for the challenging journey to both EP and Phantasialand:

St Pancras plans for direct trains from UK to Germany

The London station's owner and Eurotunnel hope to expand routes to Cologne, Frankfurt and Switzerland.

Ultimately unless they get ICE running closer as Roland wants trains will always be a bit of a faff as the main annoyance is changing onto the local trains rather than the change in Paris from Eurostar to the high speed network.

Plus this isn’t suggesting a connection to Strasbourg so there wouldn’t be a simpler route for EP (Cologne would be just as faffy as it currently is).
 
It would be helpful if they ran those ICE routes more than once a day.

Was looking into it as an option as was doable in a day from Leeds with only 2 changes. But just as expensive as would be to fly.

There’s something inherently less stressful about travelling by train so if the door to door journey time became almost equivalent it would certainly be my preference.

The majority of a flight and airport experience is being dehumanised or waiting around.
