Six Flags Enthuseast Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Excellent pictures, Hanno! The ride interaction is very cool; some very close calls and interesting elements. The theming of the ride seems to be very good, no different from the rest of Europa Park. This definitely makes me much more excited for the Europe trip!

Hhappy Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Today was season opening day for 2012 the park and Wodan was opened to all guests.  Opening a new ride for a new season brings ceremonies and usually some fireworks.. so i had to check it out  Here's a few images from today. Enjoy and feel free to comment Euromaus was ready for opening There were some dudes throwing fire a random girl was asked from the audience and stood in the middle.. this blue character was there as well and the big "guy" was keeping an eye on us all still not sure what it is.. but i like it and yes.. that's a lot of people funny faces, shorty.. so many things to say he did look scary.. i guess a nice touch for all the early people.. if you look closely at the image you can see a ball.. this ball was good for a stay at the new Bell Rock hotel for 4 persons looks like the train is coming.. i see sparkles more sparkles and then there is fire time to enjoy the ride they had 2 guys carving something with chainsaws but here's the ride the name/sign some random people having fun not sure and here's what i was looking for most of the day... Blue fire .. and Wodan.. so close.. yet so far more people enjoying the ride that's closer.. but still no sigar close enough? the test seat was there as well i missed the boat jumping over atlantica not bad for "playing" around with a chainsaw (this was not the finished product) more random riders still an awesome ride pretty close (but not at the spot i hoped for.. Guess it's time to take pictures of something else again and there it was.. and i was in a different spot so i did not get the angle i wanted... Maybe some other time..

Werner Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Amazing Photo's ones again Hanno! Can't wait to do my best on some of those still wanted shots in May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryancrash Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Wow... GREAT theming, love it! I especially like the fire wolves at the top. Nice interaction with the other rides, too. Looks like another winner for Europa Park (my fave park in the world). Can't wait to return to Germany and ride this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Great video and pictures Hanno. I loved that little sigh of relief at the end of the video. Â Is it just me or does Wodan really seem like the closest GCI has come to the double out and back style of classic wooden coasters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Nice sigh Hanno!! Â Loved the pics as well! Â I'm just wondering how many park visits it will take you to get that signature shot! (My guess is that you'll be riding it when it happens, just to annoy you!) Â Â JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollin_n_coastin Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hanno, this is awesome! Europa Park really is something to look at. The theming is fantastic. Not sure if even Disney could do better with a wooden coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterComet Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hanno, does the ride have seat belts? I can't see any in the pictures. That makes me think - does any GCI NOT have seat belts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeT Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yepp. it`s GCIs first WITHOUT seat belts. Europa Park always trys to reach maximum throughputs...so they didn`t accept them on Wodan ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super7 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thanks for all of the great pics. Seeing the theming an detail of Europa Park makes you realize how C-class most American chain them parks (Six Flags and Cedar Fair in particular) really are.

GeorgeT Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The whole area around Wodan is just stunning...took away my number one spot from italy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
