Theme park news

Europa-Park in Rust celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025 under the motto “Feiern unter Sternen” (Celebrating Under the Stars). Two 24-hour openings, new attractions like “GRAND PRIX EDventure,” and a packed program await visitors. On July 12 and August 23, Germany’s largest theme park will stay open until midnight.

A recent study by the Universität St. Gallen confirms the outstanding economic significance of Europa-Park. The theme park in Rust generates high three-digit million revenues annually in Baden-Württemberg and the neighboring Elsass region. With over six million visitors in the 2023/24 business year, it sustainably strengthens the regional economy and tourism.

Europa-Park in Rust invites guests to the new "Silver Lake City" starting in 2025. What began over two decades ago as a modest tipi village will transform into a full-fledged Wild West experience by 2026. "This entire area creates its own adventure world with a complete Western feeling," says owner Roland Mack. The expansion of the existing Camp Resort begins next year, promising adventure, relaxation, and entertainment for the whole family.

The official teaser for “Grand Prix of Europe” is available now, offering an action-packed preview of the animated racing spectacle featuring Europa-Park mascots Ed and Edda. Set to premiere on July 24, 2025, in Germany, Austria, and German-speaking Switzerland, the film is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures Germany. Musician Jan Delay lends his distinctive voice to the character Enzo.
