At FKF's annualy FKF-Convention, held at Europa Park this year, Mack Rides showed some new ride concepts as well as a preview of their new Xtreme Spinning Coaster for Plopsaland De Panne.
- The Rocking Boat (a new ride system to combine water and/or dark rides with coaster parts. There are rumours they will use this kind of type for their new version of "Pirates at Batavia" at Europa Park.)
- Power Loop (an extension for their Power Splash)

^Yes, it's on the german fair circuit.
Laser was renamed to "Teststrecke" (test track) and got new trains made by SAT Rides.

According to "Die Zeit" (a known german Newspaper), Europa Park is going to build it's own Water Park in 2015. Opening is planned for the 2016 season.
"There will be many attractions that can be operated independently of the weather. It estimates the potential for additional 500000-800000 visitors per year."

Alright!
You'll love it. "Old school" park with 3 credits (Vekoma Boomerang, Zierer Spinning Coaster, Maurer Wild Mouse), an nice assortment of HUSS flat rides (Enterprise, Condor, Ranger, Break Dance, ...) plus a HUSS freefall tower and many self operated never-in-america rides made by Heege (Duelling Nautic Jets, Zipline, ...).
Yep. The wild mouse is rented for one season. It's a portable model that is usually on the german fair circuit.
Wildwasser is a semi-portable model, made by Reverchon in 1997. That's why it looks different compared to other Wildwasser rides.
