Since there is already a thread ranking the coasters (where I can't participate since I still have not ridden all of them...) I would like to open one about the 18 different "countries" in the park. Ranking should be on basis of the overall impression, i.e. theming and attractions first, food and shops second. Here is mine (I rank good theming over big coasters):
1. France
Superb theming, especially at the creek and the cinema street. Can-can is my favorite coaster. I could spend a day just in this area.
2. Greece
perfect theming, love Poseidon and Kassandra. Really feels like being in Greece.
3. Germany
Love the architecture, Voletarium, Schloss Balthasar and the Gardens. Honorable mention: Jim Knopf
4. Switzerland
Best theming besides Greece, 2 nice coasters.
5. Scandinavia
Love Rafting and Snorri, great theming as well
6. Island
Stunning coaster architecture, but the village seems a bit cold (well, is fitting somehow). But: Whale Watching!
7. Portugal
Small, but gives me real Mediterranean holiday vibe on a warm summer day. Love Atlantica.
8. Netherlands
small, but nice Theming and Piraten in Batavia
9. Italy
nice atmosphere, a bit lackluster rides. I like Volo da Vinci most.
10. Austria
the only area besides Luxemburg which does not feel planned, but put together as an afterthought. I like Alpenexpress and Tiroler; lets see what the new development will bring. Please get rid of the remnants of Wild West theming, finally!
11. Arthur
very small, but nicely themed, love the ride.
12. Enchanted Forest
nice theming, very relaxing.
13. Espania
Good theming, but I do not like carousels.
14. Ireland
nice theming, but no attraction for me.
15. Russia
Jarring theming disparity (the cottages are nice); I don't do Mir
16. England
small, not much to do, don't like attractions, hate arena of football. Globe is nice.
17. Adventureland
had a clear advantage over 18. with the jungle rafts, but now is only scraping by due to Spices.
18. Luxemburg
nothing of interest here
