Europa-Park plans 3 new family rides for 2027, including a giant swing

Europa-Park plans 3 new family rides for 2027, including a giant swing

Thursday, 08. October 2026, 14:18
Europa-Park has pulled back the curtain on its first new additions for 2027, and families have plenty to look forward to. Germany's largest theme park is building three new family attractions: a giant swing over the lake in Portugal, a tower with sweeping views in Iceland and, in Italy, the return of a classic that has been a fixture for the park's youngest guests for more than 40 years. That fits what Europa-Park says it stands for: shared experiences that bring generations together and get...
Wartezeiten.APP: We almost quit — now we’re going full throttle

Wartezeiten.APP: We almost quit — now we’re going full throttle

Tuesday, 29. September 2026, 12:50
For almost 10 years, Wartezeiten.APP has shown you how long you’ll have to wait in line at theme parks across Europe. This year, though, we had to ask ourselves an uncomfortable question: Does this project even have a future? Here’s how we got there and what we decided — and why this goes far beyond our own site and matters to every theme park fan. When we launched Wartezeiten.APP, we had one clear, simple goal: All the important data on your favorite parks should be quick and easy to...

Wartezeiten.APP 1.4.1 adds sharing, Watch upgrades and mini-games

Friday, 04. September 2026, 12:19
Two months after launch, Wartezeiten.APP is on version 1.4.1. 16 store updates sit in between. For the next park day that mostly means this: you can share wait times, the Apple Watch keeps up, live numbers stay put when the signal dies, and 13 offline mini-games wait in the queue with you. The app did not switch jobs. Less guesswork before the gates, less guesswork once you are inside. It arrived in the App Store at the end of June 2026 as a native iOS app with Apple Watch, built for iOS 26....

FRONT ROW 5: Europa-Park technology, Piccolo Mondo, September

Friday, 28. August 2026, 20:10
The first Euro-Mir train of the morning does not roll until the shop has already had its hands on the hardware. And a full train on Voltron Nevera powered by Rimac will sometimes simply stop. Episode 5 of FRONT ROW, Europa-Park's monthly magazine, runs 13 minutes and 28 seconds through that world: the technology behind Euro-Mir and Voltron Nevera powered by Rimac, the September calendar, the unfinished shell of the new employee cafeteria Coasteria, official building bricks and a conversation...

Glasperlenspiel at Europa-Park: Coasters and Parkgeflüster

Carolin Niemczyk and Daniel Grunenberg took a short break from the stage. They were already back where childhood, hits and roller coasters belong together for them: at Europa-Park. Why is the duo Glasperlenspiel taking a break in Rust, of all places? Because for the two from Lake Constance, Germany's largest theme park is not merely a backdrop. It feels like coming home. The musicians have been loyal guests in Rust for several years. Their schedule is packed, but they still used a short break...

The “Broadway Dreams Show” at Europa-Park delivered the night fans wait for: energy, feeling, and an audience that would not stay seated. In the park’s Italian-themed area, 62 talents from 13 nations shared the stage with international show stars who have all worked more than once on high-profile Broadway productions. They had just finished a one-week musical theater intensive at the TALENT ACADEMY. The crowd answered with prolonged applause and standing ovations. People in the...

Stefano Zarrella spent a varied summer day at Europa-Park, Germany's largest theme park. The food creator and cookbook author mixed spectacular roller coasters with culinary discoveries — and left a trail fans can actually follow: Voltron Nevera powered by Rimac, the dark roller coaster Eurosat - CanCan Coaster, and Sallys Café. Voltron Nevera powered by Rimac, in the Croatian themed area, supplied the thrills. Rapid accelerations and numerous overhead elements sent the food creator's pulse...

Stefan Mross Gets His Own Star on Europa-Park's Walk of Fame

Friday, 21. August 2026, 12:24
It's official. On August 20, Stefan Mross stood with the Mack family in front of Magic Cinema 4D, in the French themed area at Europa-Park, and unveiled his own Walk of Fame star. The names next to him are Otto Waalkes, Sir Roger Moore and Franz Beckenbauer. Europa-Park owner Roland Mack put the honor in plain words: "Stefan Mross is a great artist who, with his down-to-earth and authentic personality, has delighted an audience of millions for more than 20 years with the popular live show...
