  1. They lost Pirates, most of the Dutch area buildings, the whole of the Scandinavian street, Fjord Rafting theming, maintenace areas for the Monorail and Panoramabahn, an IT/date centre, lots of tech/AV equipment and all of their tens of thousands of stored costumes and uniforms.
  2. With the MCBR activated, is it running one or two trains?
  3. So wait, with that logic you mean to tell me that almost every single park IN THE WORLD has been able to figure out how to make a fast pass system work in their park, but Europa Park, which IMO is one of the most intelligent well run operations isn't smart enough to figure that out? Yeah, sorry, none of what you just said makes any sense. I just assume that eventually you will see such a system in place and it will probably be one of the best "skip the line" systems of any park out there, because that's how Europa does things. But Europa-Park is not like almost every other theme park in the world! I know that it might not seem logical on the face of it however it is the position of the park at present (of course it could change over the coming years). This is what park management told us during a Q&A over the 16/17 winter season, and they told us the same thing this last winter season: Projekt V has timed tickets. Is fastrack something to be introduced across the park? There are indeed timed tickets on Projekt V. There will be only one per person, per day. Not like the Disney ticket system. It is not a tool to bring people out of normal queuelines but designed to bring people back in the quieter times. The ride will open early - 8:15/8:30am on busier days. And 9am on quieter days. We wont have any timed ticket returns at the start and end of the day when it is busier, so the main queue moves much quicker. Most of our guests don't know it's quiet at the front of park in the middle of the day. However, to give people a clue, we have introduced queue time boards around the park to help crowd control. We will constantly evaluate these tickets on Projekt V. We do not plan to roll these out to other rides. We cannot do it Disney style as the park will burst - we need people to be in queue lines as our footpaths would not cope otherwise on busy days! I agree that it can be frustrating if you are travelling a long way to visit at peak times, and want to fit it as many rides as possible. The one thing I can see them possibly implementing in the future is a very limited premium queue skip ticket at a high price, in a similar manner to the new premium reserved parking area that they have. Say only 100 or so of these available each day, meaning that their impact will not be noticed by anyone else. Weekdays in June are normally a very good time to visit. The park tends to be relatively quiet yet the weather tends to be great!
  4. Out of interest, why would you hope for this? It goes completely against the philosophy of the park and the Mack family, and operations are some of the best in the world so the queues are never slow moving anyway. Paid fastrack would have an impact on the main queue lines, this is not something the park want. Also on busy days they need as many people in queue lines as possible as the park would not be able to cope with more people on the narrow pathways and in the restaurants/shops.
