Europa-Park

[Stan4dSteph]

So there's this amusement park in Germany that kind of tries to be Disney and fails. I went there and had an enjoyable time. Here are my photos (http://www.flickr.com/photos/stan4dsteph/sets/72157606573905060/). There are some other photos from my travels in my flickr albums too. Enjoy!

And I totally found Alex's doppelganger (http://www.flickr.com/photos/stan4dsteph/2736211094/in/set-72157606573905060/).

So it's more like DCA?

So it's more like DCA?Actually, yes. It has lands themed to different European countries.

Wow, that Pirate ride looks, um, wow.

Does the Matterhorn Blitz have any sort of mountain, or is it just a steel coaster with a wannabe name?

WHY? WHY? WHY?

Why can't they do something ORIGINAL?

What's Rosanna Barr (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3103/2736204148_eb45e595fa.jpg?v=0) doing there?

[Not Afraid]

It's almost as bad as Bizaaro Disneyland in Japan.

Obviously people knocking Europa Park haven't been there.
It's one of my favorites, with Euro-Mir being one of the most fun rides anywhere.

Silver Star, while an ok ride, is probably the lamest B&M Speedcoaster ever built.

Nice pics, though, Steph :)

Euro-Mir was pretty cool. The total darkness at the beginning was interesting.

What's the deal with the Spaceship Earth looking-thing?

Definitely a few steps better than Mara Dreamland.

Europa Park is OK since Euro Disney Opened in Europe they have stopped doing kinda fake Disney Ride . Since then opened Euro Mir , Euro Sat , Poseidon etc....

Europa Park is number 2 after Disney , Tivoli Gardens and Port Aventura and Alton Towers .

ps: Steph seems to like Chocolate Religieuse mmmmhhhh yummy

[dlrp_bopazot]

I'd laugh at the park but Europa-Park has a working People Mover.
:D

The pirates ride scares me.

Interesting. Perhaps if I find myself local I'll stop by. It sure looks pretty and clean though.

[The Original OC Adventure]

I might go. Just as soon as I figure out which bus to take :)

[flippyshark]

It actually looks like a fun park. The third video in the above post is incredibly annoying, though. I had to bail early.
