  1. We went to europa park for day one of two here. we started the day with the can can coastter, formerly eurosat, they refurbished it in 2017 and rethemed it as the moulin rouge in belle epoch Paris. The queue line themeing is great with the occasional nod to eurosat. Most importantly it rides great. It has a spiral lift hill with a rotating center column that pulls the train up the hill. It has parisian scenes and an eiffel tower as you get to the top. The trains have onboard audio synched to the ride that keeps pace. Scenery lights up as you go by including a winking moon from jules verne. Not too scary but really fun. Rode silverstreak, a b&m with great airtime. It had been mercedes themed and now is monacco grand prix themed. Not sure if it was suppodes to be a poke in the eye but they had a vintage Daimler owned by prince Ranier of Monaco. I have heard tpr sing the praises of the aquatrax and had to take the opportunity to try the one in the greece area here. Since it was drizzling and we were already a bit wet, why not. It was fun and exceeded expectations (which had been set low) Voltron was new last year and was awesome. We enjoyed the electricity themed queue line in the rain which felt disconcerting. Amazing themeing and ride with a statue of Nicholai keeping watch. pirates of batavia , having been restored from an elecrrical fire (on a water ride) was great. The queue line had some great stuff including the requisite topless mermaids. We tried out the food loop restaurant. You order your food and it gets sent out along coaster tracks including loops and helixes. The kitchen and bar send food up to a central dispatch area who distribute it to the correct table. There are special holders for drinks and food in pots down stainless steel tracks to circular tables. Each seat has a number and you get your food delivered by the food loop. Pretty fun and the food was good too. I had chicken breast on spätzle which was delicious. We finished the day in the rulantica waterpark with the ride and slide package. The indoor/ outdoor swimup bar came in handy and their wave pool is one of the most intense i have been to. It has a really bizarre lazy river that goes through caverns below the indoor waterpark with crazy themeing. They let you go around as much as you like and we finished the day with 4 more laps. it is not well explained but you can take a shuttle from the hotel in the spanish section to rulantica for free. You can take the large monorail from the front gate there.

  2. Hopefully. The plan is SWSA --> SFFT --> SFOT --> Cota --> SFOT --> Frontier City --> SDC --> WOF --> SFSTL and then fly home back to way upstate NY. If CotaLand is not open, we will likely add some driving and use the freed up day to swing into Arkansas and visit Magic Springs.

  3. That 218ft Immelmann looks insane! Followed by a 176ft vertical loop is double insanity!

  4. Tuesday it was overcast and cool so we welt to the old Oktoberfest section: they started the display in 2010 for the 200th anniversary of oktoberfest and it was popular so they kept doing it. They had this fun spinny one it had a brass band in the booth later on Would you eat at the badass imbiß? Some nice tractors a nice pipe organ And organ grinders with animatronic monkeys. and who would turn down the chance for a fahrt ins paradise (12 year old boy humour still going) it was really cool, it had this steering wheel that the operator turned to change the speed he also had a saxaphone and would pick it up and play some of the songs . He did moon river for us. surprise: side view you can really see how they crammed all of that track in there. Spoiler alert: big fanboy! as it turned out we were lucky that tuesday was family day and they only charged 9.5 euro rather than 14 for olympia looping helped me get to 11 rides so far. Aiming for 20… most of the other rides had discounts as well so it only made sense to ride the double wild maus. So good. ttoday we took the train to ringsheim via freiburg. It was a bit rainy but we walked around the old town. it turns out we could have taken the regional train down from mannheim rather than up from freiburg but i was happy to visit again. We are staying at the holiday inn ringsheim it is near the train station (more like whistle stop) and they have Rothaus pils, a local black forrest beer i love. i was able to visit the brewery with my friends the week earlier. They name their logo Birgitte which is a play on words for beer getter Was able to do a little hotel sink laundry as we prepare to visit europa park tomorrow.

  5. Hopefully the entertainment enhancement includes a major revamp of Fright Fest. How many years are they going to just do the exact same things over and over?

  7. Well now that the state investigators have publicly agreed with Universal that the ride did not malfunction in any way, I'm hoping they open it back up asap. We will be there in a week and I would never cry "vacation ruined" or any other such nonsense (after all you pays your money and takes your chances) it will suck mightily to have to walk around an awesome but not running coaster all day. I freely admit I am being a bit selfish here and apologize for it and while I certainly do not want to appear insensitive; he did make his choice knowing he was going against the recommendations posted at the ride. I am very curious about the state saying they were investigating under their manslaughter law. If they acknowledge the ride is not to blame who are they accusing of manslaughter? A family member that talked him into going on it? I mean he was an adult. Or is that just verbiage to ensure the outraged that they are exploring all possibilities on blame? Curious. My heart does go out to his family and the ride ops working that day. It must have been a terrible experience.
