cookiex Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I've finally booked my EP trip, arriving to Rust on June 2nd (Thursday) before going on Friday and Saturday before departing on Sunday. The hotel I'm staying at was fully booked the following week so I had to move my trip up a few days. So now I have to ask: how do the crowds look on a Friday and Saturday in early June? I saw on their calendar that the park is open until at least 7:30 P.M on June 4th (Saturday), so I'm assuming they're expecting at least some crowds that day.

jumper Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 The park should be busy, probably more on Saturday than on Friday. But with clever planning and the use of the app, you should be fine. Especially as the park extend its opening hours depending on the number of visitors. Start early in the back of the park (Blue Fire, Wodan, Arthur) and then work your way forward to do Silverstar, Poseidon and Matterhorn around noon...

I was thinking of starting out on Friday with Blue Fire/Wodan and making my way back to Silver Star one coaster at a time (plus the Log Flume). If I could get all that done by noon that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Or just skip Silver Star and ride Euro MIR another 20 times. Not like you'll be missing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I really love that coaster train! If your in the front seat and the on ride photo camera is positioned correctly you could have an amazing photo with Europa Mouse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiex Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The first details on the new water park are going to be unveiled on July 19th. A fifth hotel is also going to be built adjacent the water park and two more are being planned for future expansion. Construction is set to begin late summer.

cookiex Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Europa Park is now doing bag checks in response to the bombings in Brussels. There's not said to be any direct threats to the park but it's done as a precaution according to a park spokesperson. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 From a local newspaper: EuropaPark has started to build a new main attraction for 2017. The building will rise directly next to the entrance, next to the german street area. It will be 15m high and the building will be build first. The parts for the attraction will be added later through the opened roof. The attraction will be suitable for the whole family. What exactly they are going to build in this is not known. source: http://www.bo.de/nachrichten/nachrichten-regional/europa-park-startet-bauarbeiten-grossattraktion-fuer-2017 Let`s start speculating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1aflack Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Some sort of family drop tower. Sure in an interview a year of two ago they said they wanted one but wanted one for the whole family rather than something extreme and they were working on an idea.

JooordiW Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 According to rumors is it going to be a panorama flight simulator like Disney Epcot. But again, that are rumors! Some sort of family drop tower. They allready have one in the Arthur land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChaotika Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'm speculating on a Ghost Train kinda dark ride, maybe even little Wilde mouse like coaster section added to it (Mack E-Motion coaster probably). Why? EuropaPark's animation movie is going to take place on a some kind of crazy ghost train, and as far as I remember they don't even have one yet in the park.

TheDarkNiTe Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Heading to Europa Park this summer as part of an extended European trip, (so stoked.) I really need help figuring out a few things for the schedule. The current plan is to visit on July 16th-17th. Problem being: hotels in the area seem to be very full, likely making for a full park. I know that weekdays are usually lighter on crowds, but scheduling for the multi week itinerary is a nightmare, so Europa Park will land wherever it lands. Is there something going on at the park that weekend? Are there other times in July that I should stay away from? Any general tips for visiting Europa Park? I don't know if any locals or regulars are in the group, but any help planning this exciting visit would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 ^The park is super popular and busy during the summer. That is the height of the European Summer Season. Try to find a time you can stay on property so that you can get early entry and beat some of the crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the event calendar EP is planning quite a lot of French-related events that weekend and since the French kids are out of school for all of July there should be crowds.

Thank you so much, now the lack of available hotel rooms in the area makes sense. The trip is happening sometime in July based on my family's schedule, (unfortunately that much is certain,) but now at least we know what we're up against.

StealthFan Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I'm speculating on a Ghost Train kinda dark ride, maybe even little Wilde mouse like coaster section added to it (Mack E-Motion coaster probably). Im pretty sure that Mack will never build another E-Motion coaster! I think that has to be regarded as one of their biggest failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still selling it on their website so if a park wants it they'll build it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
