I've found a few days of cheapish rooms in June, but have a few questions for the EP veterans!
I'll be travelling from N.I., which complicates things. Best options are either direct to Frankfurt from Belfast, then train down to Ringsheim, though these flights are quite pricey. Second option would be Baden Baden via Stanstead, which is often quite cheap but adds half a day of extra faff via connecting in London. Any thoughts from those who have done similar?
I'm debating taking me ol' Mum as a late birthday gift - she's not into coasters or thrill rides but I think there's more than enough there for us to enjoy together for a few days. Anyone taken older folks before? It doesn't appear to be super busy midweek in June going by most crowd calendars for the past few years, so I'm not too worried about her standing for ages in queues or struggling to get into shows etc, but if we took our time exploring the place, enjoying the hotels etc, could we easily, happily spend 3 days on park? I can happily dash into the park in the morning with early entry to tick off the coasters solo.
Finally, since I/we will be travelling via public transport, the options to explore locally are probably a bit more limited than if we had a car. Any recommendations for local sights, towns, places to visit? The travel itinerary will have a day to fill, and currently thinking of a night in Baden Baden with a day at the thermal spa.
Thank you, you lovely folks!
