Hmmm...I don`t get it. Germany`s tallest Waterride ??? Well...probably this thing will be great, but bigger than Atlantica Supersplash at Europapark ? The stats say it will be app. 25 Meters high, while A.S. is about 30 Meters high...and I guess the footprint is bigger, too. Anyway...GREAT news to have another major attraction there !

I can totally see why it made you cry...even without understanding what was said. I guess the old turtle helping the littles one`s finding their way into the sea was soooo touching that no words were needed And yes...the Cinema is awesome...it has the biggest screen I have ever seen. MUCH (!) bigger than what you will find in most of Germanys Cinemas !

Wow...that color in front of the clear blue sky...just WOW !

This is not a ride ! The former movie with the ecological Theme, Turtles and Stuff will be replaced by this Movie. So it`s a 3 D Movie with some special effects again !

Thanks for explaining, Elissa.

I was one I was one of those saying that Blue Fire kicks some serious butt...while more than a few thougt the ride was "tame" (I still believe the coaster probably didn`t run to it`s full potential then...but anyway...) That`s why I`m a littlebit afraid this one could be a little "forceless but fun"...too But I am definitively not experienced enough to judge this by the looks of it... Greeds...GeorgeT

I can easily say that SkyRush for shure will rank AT LEAST (!)......somewhere no one knows yet

Rode the new trains on Teststrecke and thought they were excellent !

I mean...they are both blue...they share the same name...so I guess for the GP these two rides will be nearly the same

I´m STILL asking myself if they want this to be tame...of if they "allow" GCI to let the ride kick ### ???

Sorry for repeating myself but I just LOVE the layout of that coaster soooo much

Again it looks as if GCI doesn`t know how to built straight track. Love it (Source : EP Board) Exit of the first tunnel on the right...entrance and exit of the station flythrouh in the middle and on the left... The second Tunnel...right before the station flythrough... Beginnig of building the third tunnel that`s just behind the crossing of Atlantica Supersplash`s drop ! More than 40 Meters between the top of the first drop to the bottom of the first tunnel...Yummy

Well...the price for Camp is about 30 Dollar...maybe al little less...per night/person. Which is great, cause all the hotels are quite expensive...

You meant WITHOUT OTSR, right ??? As far as I know it was one of Franz Mack`s principles (the grounder of Europa Park) that Mack Rides/Europa Park should always be without over the shoulder restraints...and I really hope it`ll stay that way ! Anyway...we didn`t mention that Europa is getting the addition of another hotel in the beginning of 2012...and it`s going up fast. Okay...the words are german but nevertheless I`d like to post a link, which shows the progress... (Besides : Just posted news about Europa`s 12. Rollercoster for 2013 in the Crazy Idea/Rumout-Thread ) Greeds...Gero

So this is MORE than just a rumour...but it`s not (totally) official yet. Europa Park will be getting his 12. Rollercoaster in 2013 !!! I will be a powered suspended coaster with (faster) Rollercoaster and typical (slow) Darkride parts Here we go : http://www.mack-rides.com/en/products/coasters/suspended-powered-coaster/info/c-pcs-info.html The ride will be 650 meters long, will leave the 15 meters high building (which will be located in the enchanted forest) for two times...and it will feature the amazing launch coaster seats (that you find for example on Blue Fire). And I have to say that once again Europa Park makes me VERY happy...becoming the rollercoaster capital of Europe !

The layout and pace looks absolutely terrific ! For me...without any doubt one of the best inverts out there (knowing the B & M inverter quality !)

Hey ... it's Camp Resort time ! To give you an idea where the Camp Resort is located we took this picture from the park's tower ride. This probably makes sense because the Camp Resort is located close to the main entrance which means it's far away from the other hotels ... The Camp Resort is divided into two areas ... the main western street with the Saloon ... and the sleeping area with the tents and wagons ... yeeeeeeha ! Heedy heedy heedy ho ! In the mood for some bull riding ? (It's so empty just because it's LATE ! ) This is the Saloon's entrance. Sorry for not taking pictures from the inside, which is a little bit sad because it looks great and the western style food is really tasty !!! We tried to catch the wonderful night atmosphere inside the resort but our camera totaly sucks at night The Camp Resort has block houses ... ... tents (and there are MANY of them)... ... and some wagons ! The sexually arrousing multi generational "never in America" family toilet shower ... WTF ??? So ... whats missing in this (hotel-) report ??? First there's a huge italian restaurant inside the Colosseo which offers a very exclusive a la carte and a buffet area, especially the salad buffet is highly recommended by Gero while Rainer totally recommends the all-round buffet. It's not cheap but absolutly high quality ! Another thing we didn't cover with our photos is the "Bar Colosseo" which is located in the fifth floor ... It's very spacious and noble. Also highly recommended ! Last but not least we would like to mention that every of Europa Parks hotels offers a high quality evening buffet ... AND if you visit Europa Park don't miss the bar in the nineth floor of Hotel Castillo Alcazar which offers a great view over the park and the resort ! Thanks for reading ... thanks for watching and we hope that though our resort coverage is kind of incomplete it will still give you a good impression of how well worth seeing the WHOLE resort really is !!! Have a good time ... greeds Gero & Rainer !

This is Hotel Santa Isabel which is Europa Parks most exclusive hotel, although many people think that it's not that as impressive as the Colosseo is ... but it still is a wonderful place ! The little atrium beside the hotels main entrance ... The hotel's pool ... The corridor which leeds to El Andaluz ... and time to admit that we have far to little photos of this beutiful hotel ... sorry guys, maybe next year

So ... we're gonna continue with pictures of Hotel El Andaluz which is located vis-a-vis of the Colosseo's entrance There's the El Andaluz on the right, the Santa Isabel on the left ... and the new woody construction site in the background ... The lobby of El Andaluz ... In the evening ... ... and in the day time ... Guess how many mummys are shown in this picture and win a bag of crap ... "Hey Roland ... is it you ??? ... I just called to say I love you !" And now on to the amaaaaazingly beautiful "El Circo" Bar in the first floor of Hotel El Andaluz ... El Andaluz's atrium in the evening ... Coming soon: Santa Isabel impressions and the Camp Resort ...

Sorry for splitting this, but we had some problem with the internet connection Europa has a heart for children ... Europa sells some marvellous ice cream ! It's vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mustard, smoke, air, pizza, toothpaste, hazelnut-garlic AND baby poop ! Honestly this is one if not the best quality of ice cream you can get here in Germany. It's REALLY good !!! Inside the Colosseo you will also find a café with a very nice bar zone ... ... and a winter garden ... There's the bar ! That's enough for the Colosseo .... to be continued with more photos of the other hotels and the camp resort ...

So ... here we are again ! As promised we gonna show you some pictures of Europa Parks Hotel Resort ... but we have to admit, that we are not happy with the quality of many pictures that we took during the evening or night time. So this is just a selection of those pictures with sufficient quality. Hope you understand ... Let's start with some pictures of Hotel Colosseo : The only reason why Hotel Colosseo has just 4 and a half stars (!) is because the park is not willing to have any butlers ! The main entrance ... The main atrium ... ... and sorry cause we're gonna mix day and night pics ... The Gardens ... Random atrium shots ... ... and the pool ! On to some lobby impressions ... This is NOT halloween theming ... it's just the head of someone who wasn't willing to pay his bill Another rest area picture and the entrance to the indoor childrens playground ... to be continued ...

Shure ??? I mean...it`s Europa Park. Probably it will be loads of fun...but on the other hand it wouldn`t be the first time that people will find a coaster at Europa to be kind of tame. Maybe it`s nice not to have too high expectations...although the parks line up will be VERY impressive with that addition

When the gondolas are able to swing free the intensity is INSANE ! I was able to ride the KMG Version on the Hannover Schützenfest here in Germany...and even though the gondolas were fixed when the ride went upside down...it STILL kicked the crap out of me !!!

What`s up, Roco ???

What a cool Image that is I wasn`t shure if that kind of drop would lead to an intense ride experience...but after reading those comments it should be a great first drop !
