![]() | Re: Disney World, no Europa Park I always found this place interesting, glad you posted. Here is a bit more info ... from WikiPedia Europa-Park is the second-most-popular theme park in Europe, after Disneyland Paris. It is open from mid-March to the end of October and from the start of December to mid-January. It is located in Rust, south-west Germany, between Freiburg and Strasbourg. Its mascot is a grey mouse named "Euromaus" whose friends include Eurofant, an elephant. It is split into fourteen different areas, typically named after European countries or regions. Europa-Park is run by the Mack family which has produced vehicles since 1780, circus wagons since 1880 and rollercoasters since 1921. The park was opened in 1975 to act as a showcase for many of their different ride models - for example, the Wild Mouse roller coaster. The amusement ride company is now called MACK Rides. This explains why the park has two of their water coaster models (one a Super Splash model) and is home to the one-of-a-kind Euro-Mir. One of the few rides that goes against this rule is the relatively new Silver Star hyper coaster, designed by B&M of Switzerland. This is presumably because Mack doesn't offer a hyper coaster model.

![]() | Re: Disney World, no Europa Park There's more than one Spaceship Earth knockoff in Europe too, not just that one. That Universe of Energy looks interesting, more like Horizons layout ride vehicles...interesting. I know Mack makes some good rides, I think they did The Mummy? |
