Europa Park is Wonderful
Spent the weekend with the family at Europa-Park in Rust near Frieburg, Germany. Coming new to this park, and as a long-time fan of the Disney parks and Legolands, this was a very welcome surprise. I would rate Europa-Park as every bit as good as DisneyLand Paris, and quite a bit better in a number of areas.The prices were quite reasonableThere areloadsof rides for every possible age range and dispositionCustomer service was terrific, very friendly and helpfulVery very clean and tidy, and well maintainedNot so plastic and artificial as Disney. Disney has fake space stations. Europa-Park has areal MIR station that was used to train Soviet cosmonauts. They also have a real full-size radio telescope, bought from a nearby ground stationIt is a lot more peaceful. There are crowds, but also open spaces. And without the constant ear-bashing that Disney throws at you with their constant jingle-tunes everywhere.VirtuallyzeroAmerican content. This is quite refreshing for a European of any kind, and made a welcome change from constant US brands and marketing. I like American stuff, but it was good to have a break from it.Oh, and they let you take photos and videos overywhere, including in the showsA lot of the park shows distinct overlap with Disneyland. They have a haunted castle that includes many of the same sequences and effects as the Disneyland Haunted mansion. And the Pirates in Batavia ride looks a lot like Pirates of the Caribean with a Far-East makeover applied. Neither one is as polished as the Disney version, and the animatronics were not very good, but guess what The Kids Don't Care.The big rides are very good, probably because the Mack company that runs the park builds these things for customers all over the world. Europa-Park started as, and continues to be, a showcase for products that other parks might want to buy. So they keep adding new things.I think one strength here is that they are not tied to a brand like Disney or Lego, so they are not a simple marketing arm for and division of a big company. The park is there to be first and foremost a park, and they are doing a great job of it.
