Photo TR: Halloween at Europa Park


Peejay

Recommended Posts

Last weekend we decided to visit some more parks and started with Europa Park on Thursday. They had just started their Halloween event and the park was heavily decorated with tons of pumpkins, scarecrows, spider webs and all that stuff. Some spooky sounds were played everywhere in the park and the atmosphere was great. During the day they open just on maze: Tortuga – Grave of Pirate Souls. It took quite some time for me to finally walk through the maze as I scare really easy. It’s definitely more fun for the actors when I walk through a maze than for me. Well, I survived, and after all it wasn’t that bad. But I thought one terrifying experience a day is enough for me and passed on their other mazes, which open after the rest of the park closes in the Italian area. Fortunately, they had another event going on that night: Europa Park’s version of Oktoberfest. It wasn’t as good as the original one in Munich, but we ended up having a lot of fun there and it was really worth the visit. Plus, we could take the monorail back the hotel. You can’t do that in Munich.

 

On Friday we spent the evening at Movie Park, where the Halloween Horror Fest was about to begin. The park was really crowded and every maze had a long line, so we just wandered around a little bit. The park wasn’t quite as good decorated as Europa Park, but they had a lot of fog machines and scare actors were nearly everywhere in the park which created a great atmosphere, too.

 

The next day we headed to Phantasialand. There was nothing special going on there, but it was a nice park to end our little trip at. Enough talking, onto the pictures.

Apparently I'm not a good scare actor. She didn't show any reaction at all.

Peter you're definitely a water magnet!

 

It amazes me that Europa, one of the most gorgeous parks in the history of mankind, is even more awesome looking this time of year. WOW! Loved the pics, and Euro Sat transformed into a giant pumpkin is TOO COOL!!! Thanks for sharing these pics Peter.
