Europa Park | 50th Anniversary Attraction

[cookie]

As if Voltron and Alpenexpress/Tiroler 2.0 weren’t enough, Europa Park is already planning a new attraction for the resort’s 50th anniversary in 2025. This comes from a new interview with Roland Mack where he talks about wanting to put a new attraction ”in the middle of the park”, though he didn’t specify where or what form it would take.

The current rumor is that the attraction would take up the current 4D cinema in the Luxembourg area, and the ride model being looked at is a Mack Rides GamePlay Theater, an indoor high-capacity dark ride system which is designed to use as little space as possible while still incorporating both screens and physical sets:

That a Gameplay Theater would come to the park was actually officially confirmed by Mack Rides themselves quite a while ago in an interview with Kirmes und Park Revue magazine. However no opening year was mentioned/set at the time.

The "Gameplay Theatre" is based on the idea of a rotating theater, where guests move from stage to stage. Max Röser: "Here we will utilise our omnimover darkride system, with a back to back configuration. A dividing rear wall between the riders forms a closed space on the inside or outside of the ring of cars. Because we always turn the vehicles when the scene changes, a collection of 10 different rooms is created here per trip. On the inside we work with physical sets, on the outside with projections and screens. Due to the small footprint and the rather high capacity, we hope that this ride will be very popular. 'The first project of this kind is the renovation of the "Historama" in our own Europa-Park.'

But of course we also know Euro Mir is set for a retrack/refurb soon; and it's middle of the park too. However personally I feel like the Gameplay Theater would be a better fit for an anniversary, and would be a cheaper & quicker project to deliver straight after the massive year 2024 will be with Voltron and Alpenexpress.
