jray21 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 That really does look amazing, especially since it's Europa Park and they do such an amazing job on there theming and rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thought that I was going to skip Europa Park for one year to visit some other parks (blasphemy! ). Boy I was wrong, I really wanna go again! Europa Park 2014 - check! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 It is interesting to see this IP being used by Europa Park, considering the box office returns it made in theaters. For a budget of $86 million (not including marketing costs), it only brought in $110 million globally, with close to $93 million of that being earned internationally outside of the US. http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=arthurandtheinvisibles.htm That being said, it appears to be a very rich world to draw upon and Europa Park seems to be maximizing the value of the detailed environments from the film. I look forward to seeing photos and video of the finished product when it opens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I was thinking the same thing. I didn't know the numbers, but I knew it wasn't that incredibly popular here. Looks like it definitely had more of a pull outside the US. I also wonder if it was one of those that did better on video after it's movie release. Either way, I think it's perfect for Europa park. I can't wait to see how incredible it will look after they are done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Arthur and the Minimoys spawned a three-film trilogy. We got the first one in theaters, but it obviously bombed in the box office. The second and third films in the trilogy were released in European theaters but we got them as direct-to-video sequels here in the US. The films themselves were based on the European children's book series of the same name. They have a whole lot of material and popularity to pull from.

Kooky Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I forgot to mention an interactive feature which the Macks mentioned on the press conference: The riders will have the oppertunity to choose the direction in which they/the trains are facing in the outdoor-coaster section of the ride . So if you want to ride the outdoor-part sideways, backwards or forward.... it is your choice. They have not explained how this will work, so maybe you have a joystick and can spin it freely or maybe you just get some buttons which you can press on specific times to change the direction. But sounds cool. The source of this fact comes directly from the Macks and you can listen to it in this video (in german): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Got back from 2 days Europa Park, and wow, Blue Fire is without doubt the best coaster in the park. That final inversion is so good. On the other hand, Wodan was fun but didn't convince me to be honest. I think Troy is a much better coaster than Wodan, altough theme-wise Wodan beats Troy by a long run.

Robin24 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hey, I am really looking forward to ride the new coaster/darkride in 2014! Now i made this virtual POV of Arthur The Ride with NoLimits Coasters.

Toasty82 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 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." Die Familie Mack denkt weiter – und wird bald den nächsten großen Schritt in Angriff nehmen, einen Schritt, auf den vor allem die jüngeren Verantwortlichen schon lange gedrängt haben. 2016 will man, auf einem angrenzenden Grundstück, einen Wasserpark eröffnen. "Und zwar einen, wie ihn Europa noch nie gesehen hat", sagt Michael Mack. Es wird viele Attraktionen geben, die wetterunabhängig betrieben werden können. Man schätzt das Potenzial auf zusätzliche 500.000 bis 800.000 Besucher pro Jahr.

StealthFan Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 ^A Europa Park water park would be amazing! I would love to see some concept art for it. Not that I ever need more reason to go back to Europa but this is more than welcome. -Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 It's interesting for 2 reasons: 1- How Mack designs the property (Maybe themed to Oceans?) 2- If Mack Will Build it or Another company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 It's interesting for 2 reasons: 1- How Mack designs the property (Maybe themed to Oceans?) Doubtful in my opinion. My money is that it will be themed to something EUROPEAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I guess you could include the Arctic. But I still don't see it being themed to The Oceans, unless they tie it into the Europeans reign of seafaring conquest from the mid 15th - 17th centuries.

KarlaKoaster Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Don't forget they have an American-themed hotel, so they're not too strict about European theming, at least on the resort (as opposed to the park) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
