Europa-Park: New roller coaster attracts visitors-anniversary and winter season are imminent

in the picturesque Rust, Baden-Württemberg, the new roller coaster "Voltron Nevera" attracts the attention of visitors. Since its opening in spring 2024, this spectacular attraction has become a real crowd favorite in the Europa-Park. According to Roland Mack, the founder and park manager, the roller coaster now has almost three million passengers and has established itself as a magnet for younger guests.

The increase in the number of visitors sounds promising. In the current year, the park could achieve an increase of five percent compared to the previous year, which could possibly mean a record high of seven million visitors. In 2023, over six million people already came to the amusement park, which will celebrate its 50th birthday next year.

new attractions and anniversary celebration

In addition to the "Voltron Nevera", the redesigned "Alpenexpress Enzian" and "Tyrolean Wildwater Railway", which were put back into operation after a major fire, have recorded over 2.7 million passengers. These developments reveal that the Europa-Park is continuously trying to modernize and expand its offer.

For the 2025 season, there are also plans to introduce a new interactive ride, but it will not be a roller coaster. Mack emphasizes that the Europa-Park offers more than just roller coasters and positions itself as a family park. In addition to exciting rides, hotels and restaurants are also part of the offer.

As part of the upcoming 50th anniversary in July, a large parade with colorful cars and dancers is expected. Another highlight will be the animated film "Grand Prix of Europe", which comes to cinemas with the popular park mascot Edda. The water attraction "Rulantica" is also expanded to include a larger outdoor pool to improve the experience for the guests.

price increase and winter season

The entrance fees for the coming season will be increased by around five percent, so that a standard ticket will now cost at least 64.50 euros. This decision is part of a strategy to ensure the financial sustainability of the park, says Mack.

The winter season of the European Park started last Saturday and runs until January 12th. The park has set up 3,500 fir trees to create a festive ambience. Many visitors come from the surrounding countries, especially Switzerland and France to enjoy the winter season in the Europa-Park.

founded in 1975, the Europa-Park was originally intended as a shop window for the Mack family's carousel production. What started as a small project has developed into one of the largest and most popular amusement parks in Germany over the years with an estimated annual turnover of over 500 million euros. These successes are the result of hard work and a constant adaptation to the wishes of the audience, with family members Mack continued to play an active role in corporate management.
