Came across this on TPR

"New interview with Roland and Micheal Mack reveals some tidbits about Europa Park's future:

- VR will be scrapped on Pegasus due to capacity issues and focus will turn to offering multiple VR options for riders on Alpenexpress
- Euro-Mir and Eurosat will both see extensive refurbishments in the near future
- A new coaster is planned after the construction of the water park (bit unclear here since I'm using Google Translate)
- The new hotel is set to open in early 2019 and the water park will open later that year. Construction is set to start in February although they're seeing some delays with materials due to a construction boom in Germany
- The new event hall is set to be inaugurated on January 13th
- You're going to need pre-book your ticket to the water park as they expect hotel guests to fill up most of the capacity"

Can't they just scrap VR altogether?

They won't scrap it altogether as it is popular and interesting for guests.

Alpenexpress VR will also be overhauled to improve throughput. We hope to share the EuropaStreet Q&A with you all soon - with more details on this!

I just waited too long for pegasus so happy about that. Also, Alpenexpress VR was fantastic, so I'm happy about that too! Can't wait to see what the future holds for my favourite theme park!
