  1. Today was our second day at europa park. You could probably do most of it in one day but there is so much detail in all of the theming and areas that it is nice to have a second day. It also allows you to go back to some of your favourites. It was so foggy and hazy when we got there That silverstar’s lift hill was hidden. the two things that stood out for me were the obsession in themeing, architecture and plants they have and how they pack so much in to a small space with rides folding on top of one another like hershey does but even more. one of my favourites was the swiss themed wild mouse where the queue walks through a barnyard with animals and chicken sounds. The train crashes through the barn on one of the dips. Some rides are hidden into the buildings to the point you don't realize they are there. Near the can can coaster there is a curio shop which when you walk through which turns out to be a ride that takes you through a bunch of colourful dinosaurs. It was really bizzare but fun. They have a larger blauer enzian powered coaster with a station that was amazing. It is woven together with an old school log flume. they had several water rides including one of the most aggressive white water rides i have seen. We had a great two days at Europa park and cant wait to come back We have taken the train to Mannheim and will see holiday park, now Plopsaland deutschland home of expedition ge-force tomorrow.

  2. Woke up this morning in mannheim and took the s- bahn and bus to holiday park, aka plopsaland deutschland. It is a quaint little park with a lot of attractions aimed at kids. Expedition ge- force is however an exception and a very forceful younger brother to millennium force. That is why we visited. We got there an hour after opening and saw the monster in all it’s glory… and an apologetic ride op explaining that it was down and they were working to get it running again. Something about zoltar messing with g-force seemed to be the problem. Not going to lie, we were a bit disappointed but decided to explore the rest of the park and hope they get it going. They had a really neat log flume with three hills, a backwards drop and a spectacular double down finale. And an apologetic ride op. They had one of those gerstlauer flying things like ninja turtles at mall of america. This one themed to airplanes with a p51 mustang model as scenery, so i thought i would try it, but as i got 2 cycles from the front, the previous riders did not come down and stayed 20 feet in the air. Moving along we went to try the premier skyflier in the background. We werent really looking forward to it since we had both passed up the chance to ride one at bgw a while back. The prospect of hanging in mid air and rolling back was unsettling but we had to ride something. It was a walk on and worked properly. Not sure i would ever deliberately ride one again but now we know. They had a zierer wellenflug without the upper canopy and just the frame which was neat to see. They are also putting the finishing touches on a new gerstlauer junior coaster with some neat trick elements. It looked really good. Checking out just beyond it looked like Baywatch: the ride. There are 9 rescue boats in a circle which go around and when you turn the steering wheel it swings out. It was pretty fun. Had a beer break and then made our way back to see how progress was on ge- force The flume was running as we walked by so we rode it and only got a bit wet. It was really good with some fun themeing along the way. We could hear and see the train running on ge-force so we made our way over to try it. It was awesome, much more forceful than millennium with strongly banked curves and ejector airtime hills in between a-la skyrush. we met lots of excited new friends in line and everyone was stoked that it was running again They only have one train on the track but it was about right for the crowd they had there. Apparently there is another but it was not on the transfer track. The whole park was in the middle of a forrest and it felt like a terrain coaster between all of the trees. As you climbed the lift hill you could see all of the track laid out beside you. It ends off with some intense ejector bunny hills and then into the magnetic final brakes. It was worth the trip to the park to ride it. We took a lunch break for some schnitzel and beer which were both really good and inexpensive. Rode a smurfs vs voldamort dark ride which was weird but fun after lunch. The rest of the afternoon we spent marathoning expedition ge-force. It was awesome. Tomorrow we go to stuttgart for the canstatter wassen which is their answer to okroberfest and then tripsdrill erlebnispark.
