JordyC Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Europa-Park replaces old dino darkride Universum der Energie An old attraction in Europa-Park gets a second life. The German theme park will replace the dino darkride Universum der Energie, located in the French themed area. A new background story and another name were created: Madame Freudenreich Curiosités. The dinosaur theme remains the same. Universum der Energie opened back in 1994. Guests took a five-minute trip through a dark jungle with moving dinosaurs. The darkride was based on Universe of Energy in the Disney park Epcot, Florida, USA. From this summer visitors will be welcomed in the world of the French Madame Freudenreich. According to the accompanying story, she has a shop with souvenirs and curiosities in the French region of Alsace. Through a former wine cellar guests enter a dense dinosaur breeding farm with prehistoric monsters, fed by the old lady with cake. The entrance to the darkride is next to the indoor coaster Eurosat. This attraction will also receive a renovation this winter. The iconic rollercoaster is being demolished and rebuilt, with a Moulin Rouge theme. It will be named Eurosat - CanCan Coaster.

KarlaKoaster Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I like that they're making the French rides more French. I adore Europa Park but some of the ride themes/locations are a little random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexinla Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Europa really took a lot from Disney when they first opend. But now they have the staff and creative minds to do there own things. With 5.5Million visitors, the money is obviousely there. I like that they update the little rides, including this one. It will not bring more visitors, so other parks would just let it rod or close, here they take some money in hand to update it. Shows that the park is actually caring.

cookiex Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 So there’s a good chance I’ll be returning to Europa in June. Wonder if Eurosat 2.0 could be ready by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice Kane Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 What an imaginative concept for a dark ride! The illustrations remind me of great old fables in classic children's books. Alice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 That's a great photo--thanks! I wonder how the "Can Can" theme is going to work on this ride--maybe VR? Projections? A bunch of animatronic Can Can Dancers all high kicking, along the lift hill! Awesome inside view from the top, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimaster1227 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I give Europa Park credit for reworking "Universum der Energie" with such a cute theme in a way that I'd imagine will cost little to accomplish while making it more interesting and approachable for the younger guests.

JordyC Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Europa-Park renews attraction from 1977 A 41 year old attraction in Europa-Park will be refurbished this winter. The German amusement park renews the Old 99 Circus Parade tour, which opened in 1977. The ride will get a new theme which is based on the popular German children's book Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer. At the end of March, a cinema film of the same name will be premiered in Germany. The children's attraction with locomotives will be named Jim Knopf - Reise durch Lummerland. The ride, built by Mack Rides, is being modernized. In addition, there will be multiple interactive elements during the ride. This year, more attractions in the French themed area will be renovated. The indoor rollercoaster Eurosat and the darkride Universe der Energie will get a make-over. Europa-Park will open its doors on Saturday 24 March.

cfc Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 ^Sounds like a good idea. The Circus Parade was a bit, well, creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordyC Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 New designs for Moulin Rouge roller coaster in Europa-Park Europa-Park has released new designs for Eurosat - CanCan Coaster. The well-known indoor rollercoaster Eurosat from 1989 is currently being converted into a rollercoaster with a Moulin Rouge theme. Visitors to the German theme park will soon find themselves in the famous Paris nightclub. On new drawings you can see the queue and the richly decorated station of the attraction. Fountains are coming in front of the entrance. In addition, today the appearance of the new trains was unveiled at a press conference. Eurosat, located in the French themed area of Europa-Park, opens this summer. There will be two stations, one for rides with virtual reality. The layout of the 900 meters long roller coaster remains virtually unchanged. The iconic spiral lift with a height of over 25 meters will also remain.

MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 This is looking kind of like another Guardians of the Galaxy scenario: a retheme that seems really weird at first glance, but as more info about the new theme and ride gets released, the more I can get behind the idea. Hopefully it will end up like Guardians in that it ends up being really cool and different after everything's said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I really like those cars! At first I was not enthused by the retheme (although of course I trust Europa in terms of quality and execution), but I like how it's shaping up--I'll probably love the finished station.
