Hey everyone! What do you think of Europa Park? Do you have any favorite rides? What is your favorite theme park in Germany or in Europe? We love theme parks and can't wait to visit more!
@@arnodobler1096 We are headed back soon with ponchos in hand so we can do the water rides come rain or shine! haha And we can't wait to go to Rulantica as well!
@@kriegshammer2161 ooo interesting! We have a trip planned to Phantasialand but we had been looking at Holiday Park as well. Guess we will definitely need to make that one happen also!
Slinky Dog Dash is actually a Mack Ride ☺️ (Mack = owners of the Europa Park and rollercoaster manufacturer). The Europa Park is pretty much their testing ground and showcase for new products.
That’s awesome! We love Slinky Dog and it’s so cool hearing about where all the Mack rides pop up around the world and Disney! Really cool how the park has developed from the concept of a testing ground/showcase. It’s really something special!
What clearly speaks for Europa Park are the prices. On average, they are only 1/3 of what you pay at Disney in America. Another plus point, in my opinion, is the family-friendliness of Europa Park. In addition, it is allowed to bring your own food and drinks and, unlike Disney, there are also some nice resting places within the park where you can enjoy your food. What I also prefer is the natural character of the park.The planting does not look as planned as in Disney. This has a huge advantage, especially in summer, as you can find natural shade everywhere, which is not the case at Disney. Even the hotels located in the park are simply top class and in their restaurants even star cuisine is offered - and all this at a relatively low price compared to Disney.
100% we agree with all of this! It is a WONDERFUL park. Definitely more shady areas, natural beauty, and overall WAY more affordable. We stayed at Colosseo and absolutely loved it. The food has been wonderful, just as you said. Family friendly for sure and the operations were also incredibly efficient. We prefer it already and can’t wait to go again!
Just wanted to mention that, as she didn‘t talk about it. Disneyland is whopping $150 or more per day, per person. Plus parking and parking in the US is a total rip-off.
@@mr.sonntagskindlein no lie!! It’s crazzzyyyyy expensive!!! And the parking situation is also insane. Couldn’t agree more. The value is far better at Europa and we really did like it even better. It’s so charming!
@@CompassChronicleTravels Hello again great video. I was in the late 70s as a child the first time there. From then on 1-2 times a year. You used to walk through in 3 hours, now you need 2 3 days for everything. By the way, in Rust you can also make raft trips through the Rhine floodplains - total contrast, pure nature.
Funfact FYI, Mr. Franz Mack worked with ALL European countries together. The Swiss (Wallis) village is originally from Switzerland. As Co-commenter asmodon pointed out, the Macks want to be as precise as possible. The italian Part (where you got the churros) was build with the help of the italian artisans and builders, as was the hotel Colosseum, artistsans came all the way from Rome to help build it. Children were asked to design their beds, what they should look like. In Russia you see the Mir space station, it was originally the training ground for the cosmonauts in Russia. Etc... Here in the Park, you learn about Europe and a bit of history, as well. Next time trie out the food stalls with the European specialities. For Example in the Wallis village you can order a big or small portion of Raclette, a Swiss cheese warmed and eaten with pickles and bread. Just for starters. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING INTERESTED IN OUR CULTUR HERE. OOHHH, I forgot, Walt Disney took his inspirations from good old Europe, not the other way round. Europa Park was originally inspired by Disney land, but the Macks wanted something more original. You two Dears, be safe and sound. Elmar from Germany
Wow! Loveeee that Franz Mack worked with local artisans and builders!! That is such a great way to show respect for all the cultures and bring something truly special to the guests! Can't wait to go back and really take that part of it in! We will look for those stalls too! And yes! We had heard that Walt was inspired by a few places, namely Trivoli Gardens (which looks beautiful) so maybe we will get there as well. Thank you for welcoming us here! We love learning about the culture and our enjoying our time here so so much!
The entrance avenue you started in is the German area. Each building represents a German state (indicated by the giant state flags) and a German architectural style from different regions and time periods. My favourite indoor ride in the entire park is the voletarium. It’s located in the German area right next to the entrance.
Oh how cool is that!! We didn’t know that so next time we go we will have to really take a look at that. What a wonderful idea! We loved Voletarium as well. Always been a fan of the glider style rides and the theming throughout the line is excellent! 👌🏼
@@CompassChronicleTravels Yeah, it's designed as a theme park also for it's neighboring countries to meet and greet. It's not made for everyone to make the most income, but keep higher standards.
The biggest difference for me is that you can take your own food and drink into the amusement park, you cannot do that in the US as far as i know... I was in a lot of amusement parks, but Europa Park is my favorite one.... Always new things, rides and cool different sections.
Yesssss! Totally forgot to mention that while just being mesmerised by the whole day 😍. It’s absolutely WONDERFUL to be able to do that. And it’s such a beautiful park with so many nooks to have a little picnic at!
"Disney...is that you?" Weird question, because... Considering that many, many Disney movies are European tales... Even the "Disney-Castle" is based on a German castle.
Haha yes they are based on European tales. We love it! We were more referring to the similarities we have heard about/seen at the Disney parks. Piraten in Batavia vs Pirates of the Caribbean, voletarium vs soarin, the country theme vs at Epcot, etc. But we loved seeing the Grimms fairy tale section and want to explore that in more detail in the future because it’s great seeing the original works or earlier adaptations brought to life! 💕
🍔 Hamburgers ARE European, German invention. They haven't copied the US. Hard Rock Café is originally from 1971, in London, England, but was sold 2007 to the US (Florida). ☀️ It's in its right place. 💝👍🏼
Oh wow! Well that’s pretty cool! Someone else mentioned about the hard rock (which makes a lot of sense when we think about it). Going to have to read more about it!
People, here is another tip on food, between the lake and Scandinavia is a Restaurant with self-service, depending on the season!!!! you can eat there original Indian, South African, and other food. We had the luck and the honor to got there for a special event, when one of the most famous South African cooks was there, cooking and talking with her guest. That was so great.
Oh yum!!! That sounds amazing!! I’ll definitely keep an eye on the events calendar so we can try and do that because we love trying all the food from different places! Awesome that they took time to speak with the guests also!
@@CompassChronicleTravels We heard, that the lady cook from SRA was invited by one of the sons, when on vacation in South Africa. She seams to realy enjoy it, otherwise, she would not have come personally for many years now. In 2007 we went by pure chance to a dinner buffet from South Africa, the first time ever, that happened in EP. The funfact was, the next year we wanted, and did, visit South Africa. You two lovely's be safe and healthy. Elmar from Germany.
I love seeing your reaction to my "home park"! Even though I live in Switzerland, I've been visiting at least once a year since I was around 6, and still love going at 30. Even had my bachelorette trip there lol
Thank you so much! We LOVE it! It’s our home park now as well and it’s truly a special place. What a fun place to have a bachelorette trip!! We also absolutely loved Switzerland when we were able to visit and hope to get back soon!
Hey there, we've just discovered your video about your Europa-Park trip yesterday. It was a lot of fun to watch :) Your pronunciation of "Piraten" was very unusual for us to hear as Germans but made es laugh through the Video :) Thanks for your video about your trip to the Europa-Park. We are also seasonpass holders. Maybe we'll meet in the future :) So, have a good time and we're looking forward to your next videos. Regards from Cologne, Alex and Pete.
awe thank you so much! and hahaha oh no! Maybe you all can teach us to say it properly someday at the parks 😂😂 I do pretty well when I hear someone pronounce it properly first, but I'm lost on my own hahaha! The park is lovely so we definitely plan to visit all year long. 💕
Awe thank you so much! We really did! We are excited to have season passes so we can continue going back and exploring! It’s such a big park with so many rides and there are many yet to try! 💕💕
Its great to see you enjoyed your time at europa park. Theres some other great parks in Germany with their own quirks and themes if you're not opposed to travelling. Phantasialand near cologne has even more immersive lands/theming with more of a fantasy angle and is actually older than europa park, but a greater focus on thrill rides and Movie Park near Essen is home to what is probably best described as a charming "budget" universal studios type experience. During the halloween season the halloween horror festival they put on is absolutely amazing, its the largest Halloween event in europe but still such a charming and well done halloween event, probably my favourite season to visit the park with all the additional decorations, shows and walkthrough experiences.
Oh we LOVE visiting parks during holidays. We totally agree that there is so much charm during those special times. And yes! We already booked Phantasialand and can not WAIT! It looks incredible! We had also been talking about movie park as an option so I think we are going to have to do that as well. It was really fun sharing Europa because we can connect certain aspects to parks at home for friends and family while still seeing how amazing and unique it is on its own, so that will be fun to do at Movie Park as well!
Last time I've been there was in 2009 for my 21 brithday. Blue Fire was a new ride and Wodan, Ireland, and some other rides didn't even exist back than. I'd love to go Europa Park some day in the future again. Just hope I won't be too old to experience all the roller coasters the park has to offer.
Madame Freudenreich's used to be an excarvation ride - sort of jurassic park thing. But this didn't work. So they took the dinosaurs and added an old lady and knitted scarfs. And it turned out to be cute (but also somehow strange).
It really is! I quite enjoy that little ride. It has some real charm and quirk to it! We have both just been so impressed with the parks. It’s sent us on a bit of a craze to want to see as many as possible.
When I was a kid, I just lived short distance away from the Europapark. But it has nothing to do with Disney. I just like the feeling to be in different countries ..like fish eating in Norway.. drinking coffee in the Netherlands...and discover Batavia
It is such an incredible park, isn’t it? How lucky to have grown up with it and lived so close! We love the country theming as well. It just takes you on a journey in the park! We actually liked it better than Disney but had fun seeing some of the similarities we had heard about in the park, but found it way more unique than similar. Can’t wait to go again!
@The Sassy Cinderella I was in Disney World in Florida ( I hope I said it correctly) when I was a teenager and simply loved it. I think it is now another level. But my host mam did know some people who worked there ,so I was in their office, and they all the Disney movies around, and the best was to watch snow-white there. It was amazing. I just live in Freiburg, it is very near at the Europa Park. If you are in town , you can just say hello if you want. I just work in the altstadt of Freiburg in a medivial house. If you come along another time.
Bamboe Baai is in the Dutch section? Near Piraten in Batavia? Batavia is the name of Djakarta, Java when the Dutch ruled Indonesia. The food is probably Indonesian (-style).
The artists in the shows are often, very often, on their way to or back from Monte Carlo, where the "Oscars" of the Circus world are awarded to the worlds best artists. So what you see in this shows are no push overs. The very often are the recipients of the gold, silver or bronze Clowns from Monaco, handed out by the royal family members of Monaco
Wow! That doesn’t surprise us at all! They were EXTREMELY talented. It was SUCH a good show. The park really seems to have a lot of variety in the show department as well which is great because you have so many wonderful options! While we want to see other ones too, we would both see this one again for sure!
We totally agree! The natural approach to the grounds is just spectacular and having that shade in the summer as well as so many rides and shows to do indoors is going to be a game changer!
Awe thank you so much! Happy to have you! We are definitely trying to make the most of our time here. Easy to want to explore with all the beautiful places and architecture and rich history (not to mention amazing parks!). We could definitely see ourselves staying a long time potentially. Beautiful experience thus far.
@@CompassChronicleTravels you're always welcome, there are so many beautiful places in your area. Don't miss the Eberbach Abbey, "Kloster Eberbach" and all the beautiful vineyards.
I really must do those boatrides sometime. My favoriyes attractions are pirats and arthur, the 3 big coasters aren't that bad either. Looking forward to the new one thats coming.
And I rememeber The Geisterschloß from when I was a kid. The "greeting" ghost started his soeach and little me robbed back out under the closing doors - crying until my dad and sister came back out safely...
In about 6 weeks you're gonna start to sweat you a**** off ^^. Don't worry! Drier more temperate times are shortly ahead of us. May and June in Germany ❤
Hahahaha we are preparing for it! We got a portable A/C for upstairs and plan to get one for downstairs too. Is it more of a dry heat here? We were in Alabama last and it was sooooo humid. You step outside and instantly melt lol. Really looking forward to the weather as it warms up here though! 👏🏼👏🏼
Yes! We just posted out trip to Efteling which we LOVED! We got to Phantasialand about a week or so ago but it will be a bit before we share. What a park though! They’re all so different and special! We have loved them all for different reasons.
The family Mack, who started this park, makes rolercoasters. They want to show what was posibble for rides. Tey still makes rolercoasters. Tey have diferent "vilages" from Europe from Switzerland, Italy and many more.
Nice to see that Bluefire still runs. I said once to a friend as a joke that Gazprom will for sure take down Bluefire due to the sanctions, because the ride was sponsored by them😂
I haven't been to Europa Park yet but I definitely want to. I do however think it's like the most expensive theme park in Germany so I'm surprised that you're surprised that it's cheap lol! I'm from northern Germany so I've only been to Hansa and Heide Park. I wanna go to Phantasialand this summer which has some really great theming from what I've seen so far
Oh wow! We didn’t know it was one of the most expensive here so that’s interesting! Yes, compared to most the big theme parks in the states it’s far more affordable….and we loved it even more! We would love to get to both Hansa and Heide as well at some point. We do have a trip booked for Phantasialand soon as well so really looking forward to it. Hope you get to go this summer! We agree that it looks wonderful on the theming!
@@CompassChronicleTravels It's just a gut feeling based on the prices I compared on some of the websites. Don't quote me on it! 😄 Overall I think most parks will have similar pricing, the differences aren't as drastic as compared to Disneyland lol! Definitely looking forward to Phantasialand, let's see who will make it there first 😉😁 Don't forget to make a vlog if you can :)
I´m German and go there so often! It is my favourite Park by far. So many cool attractions and the theming is lovely.🤗 Thank you so much for taking us through the park!
Thank you so much for joining us! We totally agree! The park is truly special. We both look forward to going all season long and also going to some of the special events and holiday events 😍😍
Thank you very much! And yes! We stayed at Colosseo this trip, but we actually peeped in to the lobby and at the outside of El Andaluz and both said we needed to try it in the future because it was so stunning. We will have to do that in the summer!
You guys are comparing Europapark to Disney! But did you guys don't know that Disney had his inspiration because of the Efteling! Because the Efteling helped Disney in some way to build the Disney world you guys in the USA 🇺🇸 know! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱! Love ❤️ your videos!
Awe thank you so much! We keep hearing that about Efteling! We know he was inspired by Trivoli as well so would definitely be interesting to tour around to these different places. The parks in Europe so far have been so special and we have actually preferred them! They all have a real charm and heart to them as well as being top notch 👌🏼
Oooo we just recently heard that name pop up but haven’t looked into that one yet. We are going to have to do that! We have definitely been impressed so far with what we have seen and can’t wait to hop around to more parks!
Yes!!! We have been wanting to head back so badly and hit some new rides we still haven’t done and especially with some of the nicer weather we have been having!
In numbers of americans going to germany. Germany is not high on the list to visit. Mexico is number one. Followed by england, france and then Italy. Germany would come after all these other countries. As you can see. Florida has this thing called sunny weather and warm ocean waters. That most germans love. Really, having to have a umbrella and coat on when going to Disney world in florida is something you won't see in america. Because of warm weather in florida. Along with nice beaches. Look at videos on haulover inlet in florida. That should tell you why everyone loves sunny warm weather and going out on the ocean.
oh yes! We actually lived in Florida for a time, but south Florida. Sometimes it can get SO hot in the landlocked part though but if you go outside the hottest times of the year it's lovely! We have been in hot places so long that we are actually enjoying the weather here so far. My allergies maybe not so much though at the moment haha!
@@CompassChronicleTravels Then try the west coast of america. It doesn't have the humidity of florida, but the ocean is cold also. The entertainment in socal. Where I lived is sky high and nothing in the world can match it.
They REALLY are! I think the longest we have waited was on Easter maybe 40 mins max. That's really not bad for a day as busy as that was and on one of the big coasters. Every other time was 5-15 mins. It's amazingly well run!
We did!! We absolutely loved it! Made us want to watch the movie too. We keep talking about doing that so when we get a cozy night at home I think we will rent it. It's so unique the way they combined dark ride and coaster!
That’s awesome!! We opted for season passes as well and absolutely love it! We haven’t been to Rulantica yet but can’t wait because we have heard it’s quite amazing also!
Yes! We can't wait for it! We actually already have this one booked very soon. It truly looks incredible and I think Casey is going to love all the coasters!
Watch and learn about all the coaster builders.(Coaster Studios is a good start to watch) How can you call yourself a theme park enthusiast and not know what MACK Rides are? I do give you a little bit of credit for getting out of the “Disney bubble” I’m a Disney fan as well don’t get me wrong, once I stepped into a European theme park I knew I would think Disney was the best ever again.
hahaha I know, right? We have always LOVED theme parks but just very recently started looking more details like that up. It's SUPER interesting! We will definitely check that channel out! And we feel the same way...we were instantly in love with Europa. Still have love for Disney but there is just a really special charm about the park. We want to try and hit quite a few this year but Phantasialand is already booked and Holiday Park will probably be soon as well. It's crazy how many amazing parks seem to be so close!
@@CompassChronicleTravels I respect you for asking for help and declaring that you are just learning. I know I can be blunt and harsh but I don’t mean to be. I would also add some British Parks to your future plans. Chessington is closest a to London and is a good first time park for England. Alton Towers is the biggest in England but it’s stupid hard to get too. If you need advice I’m here for you.
We didn’t! This is the first we have heard of that actually. Sadly, we have yet to spend much time back in that area of the park so that’s probably why we missed it! We will be going back soon though with our passes so we will def make a point to do it. Casey will probably do alright but I’m not so confident for myself 🤣🤣. I feel I may respond the same as you.
Please use the translator...: Schade dass ich nicht da war. Dann hätte ich euch gerne eine Führung durch den Europapark gegeben. Ihr habt echt so viele geile Sachen ausgelassen: Euro-Mir mit dem legendären Liftof-Sound. Wodan, die meiner Meinung nach stärkste Achterbahn im Park. SilverStar, die höchste Achterbahn im Park. Der Matterhorn-Blitz und die Bobbahn in der Schweiz sind auch sehr schön. Okay...ihr seid entschuldigt, dass ihr nicht Wasserbahnen wie Atlantica Superdplash, Poseidon oder Fjord Rafting gefahren seid. Aber hinter Poseidon ist mit Pegasus eine nette kleine Achterbahn versteckt. Der Europapark hat auch die eine oder andere Show...aber um wirklich alles zu sehen und genießen zu können, braucht man schon fast 3 Tage. Und danach könnt ihr euch im Wasserpark Rulantica erholen. Und in meinen Augen schlägt der Europapark in der Preisleistung die Disneyparks in Anaheim und die UniversalStudios um längen. Er hat das beste Gesamtkonzept und ist noch nicht zu überlaufen. Und nächstes Jahr eröffnet mit Kroatien ein neuer Themenbereich mit einer neuen Achterbahn. Merkt euch das schonmal alles vor...
Ehrfürchtig, vielen Dank! Das hätte uns gefallen! Wir können dem nur zustimmen - es ist definitiv ein mehrtägiger Park und es ist unmöglich, alles darin unterzubringen. Wir haben jedoch Saisonkarten bekommen, also planen wir, mehr Vlogs zu teilen und einige der Fahrgeschäfte aufzunehmen, die nicht vorgestellt wurden. Wir haben uns überlegt, Wodan noch nicht geritten zu haben! Wir haben nur tolle Sachen gehört! Nach ein paar Mal sind wir uns jedoch einig, dass wir es eigentlich Disney vorziehen. Es ist einfach unglaublich charmant und bietet so viel zu einem viel besseren Preis! Und wir werden nächstes Jahr Ausschau nach dieser neuen Achterbahn halten!
We did get to do it at the end of the day, but sadly had a bit of a camera error so we didn’t get to film any of the walk through. It’s one of my FAVORITE lines to walk through and the ride was beautiful too!
I dont wanna be that guy, but i always here american enthusiasts refering to europapark with just europa, which basically just means europe. Always confuses me lol Would be like calling holidaypark just holiday or something Other than that, love ur impressions! :D
Haha no you’re totally fine! We never even thought of it that way but you’re right, that doesn’t make a lot of sense 😆😆. We will have to try and file that away for the next time. And thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it 🤗
We have! We actually moved all of our theme park content to a new channel called the coaster chronicles. Have you had a chance to ride it? What did you think?
Difference EU parks and US parks. US parks: Rules, rules, rules, expensive, locker costs, big rides, no theming, annoyed staff. EU parks: Welcome to another world. Americans response for every good park in the EU: Ey,; It's Disney. (Phantasialand, Efteling, Europa park, Parc Astérix, Port Aventura, Plopsaland, Gardaland ect... are all Disney for them)
Oh we have loved the ones we have been to here so much more! We agree on so much about the US parks…although we have recently had a VERY good experience with Universal which is more reasonable. It’s fun to see some comparisons though, gives us a good way to connect back home and our new home. But lotssssss of differences. In the best way possible 👍🏼
Thank you so much! We are glad to have you! We are totally nerding out over Europa as well so we understand! We can’t wait to go to Rulantica too. We hear it’s amazing as well!
We personally have preferred the parks here after spending time at them, but obviously everyone is different with what they like. Disney offers great nostalgia and of course very high quality rides and theming! (we still love those parks too and always will! 🤗)
Mach dir keine Sorgen! Wir meinen nur im Sinne des Vergleichs bestimmter Fahrgeschäfte wie Piraten und der Länderthematik. Wir erkennen, dass sie nicht direkt miteinander verbunden sind. Es ist einfach interessant, die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zu sehen, und gibt uns gleichzeitig eine großartige Möglichkeit, auch mit Freunden zu Hause in Kontakt zu treten, die den schönen Europa-Park vielleicht noch nicht entdeckt haben 💕🤗
hahahahahaha so u amaricans always think u came up with everything the original hard rock cafe stardet June 14, 1971 in london in the united kingdom wich is part of the european continent u can google this easily but i think the name might be trade mark so this is just rock cafe its an amarican thing she sait pfff sorry dear it isnt
definitely don't think we came up with everything at all. I think that's a misconception. However, we didn't know that about the Hard Rock Cafe. Makes sense though and we could see it being a UK thing.
@@YukiTheOkami yeah I think a lot of things get missed sometimes (purely innocently, of course) in the states because the country itself is so massive that we really spend most the time learning about the US history specifically. Personally, I would have liked to learn more world history but that just wasn't the reality. We are eager learners though, so we don't mind being gently taught things. We certainly don't intend to get things wrong or think America is responsible for everything. We can't speak for everyone, of course, but we definitely don't operate under that impression. As for the screen, sometimes it just happens. We try and be as good with attention to detail in our edits, but when the videos get this lengthy the editing can be quite taxing and accidents happen. I think I added it to the chapters on the scrolling bar to ensure it was somewhere within the video though as back up. They're really helpful to have there for when mishaps occur.
They aren´t Holograms in Disney Parks that are some mirror magic tricks they using some animatronic puppets with magic mirror tricks that let´s them look like Ghosts. And Europa Parks seems nice but they are more kinda a ripoff compared to Disney. Like the wannabe Epcot thing they having there I guess. But it seems to be still a nice Park to visit if you forget about the rip-offs and focusing on the unique Rides they having there.
ah yes I had forgot that about the mirrors! Think I heard that once a long, long time ago. What a cool concept!! We actually prefer Europa after being a few times. There is quite a bit unique on its own and it's SO much more affordable. Walt was also heavily inspired by parks in Europe (like Trivoli Gardens...which we would LOVE to see as well for that reason) as well as European fairy tales, and some Disney parks have rides designed by the Mack family. So there is a lot of sharing going on but it's kind of cool because you get to see so many interpretations of these creative concepts through time. Highly recommend it!
Switzerland actually has two rides, Bobbahn and Matterhorn Blitz! Also the village that you see is inspired after a village you would see in the canton of Wallis, which is very typical for those traditional swiss chalets! :) Greetings from Basel, Switzerland
We will definitely look out for that second ride! Didn’t know it was there! We just love the traditional chalets! The styling is so unique and magical! 😍✨
Hey everyone! What do you think of Europa Park? Do you have any favorite rides? What is your favorite theme park in Germany or in Europe? We love theme parks and can't wait to visit more!
I like the water rides most. I'm a water guy.
In Germany ,i think :
Nr.1 Holiday Park
Nr.2 Europa Park
Nr.3 Phantasialand
And this are the bigest in Germany ,too.
@@arnodobler1096 We are headed back soon with ponchos in hand so we can do the water rides come rain or shine! haha And we can't wait to go to Rulantica as well!
@@kriegshammer2161 ooo interesting! We have a trip planned to Phantasialand but we had been looking at Holiday Park as well. Guess we will definitely need to make that one happen also!
Maybe Holiday Park, that is a bit smaller, but not that far. It's in Haßloch/Pfalz
Since most Disney Storys are based on „Gebrüder Grimm“ which are German who collected storys all around Europe there are similarities
Slinky Dog Dash is actually a Mack Ride ☺️ (Mack = owners of the Europa Park and rollercoaster manufacturer). The Europa Park is pretty much their testing ground and showcase for new products.
That’s awesome! We love Slinky Dog and it’s so cool hearing about where all the Mack rides pop up around the world and Disney! Really cool how the park has developed from the concept of a testing ground/showcase. It’s really something special!
What clearly speaks for Europa Park are the prices. On average, they are only 1/3 of what you pay at Disney in America. Another plus point, in my opinion, is the family-friendliness of Europa Park. In addition, it is allowed to bring your own food and drinks and, unlike Disney, there are also some nice resting places within the park where you can enjoy your food. What I also prefer is the natural character of the park.The planting does not look as planned as in Disney. This has a huge advantage, especially in summer, as you can find natural shade everywhere, which is not the case at Disney. Even the hotels located in the park are simply top class and in their restaurants even star cuisine is offered - and all this at a relatively low price compared to Disney.
100% we agree with all of this! It is a WONDERFUL park. Definitely more shady areas, natural beauty, and overall WAY more affordable. We stayed at Colosseo and absolutely loved it. The food has been wonderful, just as you said. Family friendly for sure and the operations were also incredibly efficient. We prefer it already and can’t wait to go again!
Just wanted to mention that, as she didn‘t talk about it. Disneyland is whopping $150 or more per day, per person. Plus parking and parking in the US is a total rip-off.
@@mr.sonntagskindlein no lie!! It’s crazzzyyyyy expensive!!! And the parking situation is also insane. Couldn’t agree more. The value is far better at Europa and we really did like it even better. It’s so charming!
@@CompassChronicleTravels Hello again great video. I was in the late 70s as a child the first time there. From then on 1-2 times a year. You used to walk through in 3 hours, now you need 2 3 days for everything. By the way, in Rust you can also make raft trips through the Rhine floodplains - total contrast, pure nature.
@@arnodobler1096 Wo du dich überall herum treibst :-)
Funfact FYI, Mr. Franz Mack worked with ALL European countries together. The Swiss (Wallis) village is originally from Switzerland. As Co-commenter asmodon pointed out, the Macks want to be as precise as possible.
The italian Part (where you got the churros) was build with the help of the italian artisans and builders, as was the hotel Colosseum, artistsans came all the way from Rome to help build it. Children were asked to design their beds, what they should look like.
In Russia you see the Mir space station, it was originally the training ground for the cosmonauts in Russia. Etc...
Here in the Park, you learn about Europe and a bit of history, as well.
Next time trie out the food stalls with the European specialities. For Example in the Wallis village you can order a big or small portion of Raclette, a Swiss cheese warmed and eaten with pickles and bread. Just for starters.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING INTERESTED IN OUR CULTUR HERE. OOHHH, I forgot, Walt Disney took his inspirations from good old Europe, not the other way round.
Europa Park was originally inspired by Disney land, but the Macks wanted something more original.
You two Dears, be safe and sound.
Elmar from Germany
Wow! Loveeee that Franz Mack worked with local artisans and builders!! That is such a great way to show respect for all the cultures and bring something truly special to the guests! Can't wait to go back and really take that part of it in! We will look for those stalls too! And yes! We had heard that Walt was inspired by a few places, namely Trivoli Gardens (which looks beautiful) so maybe we will get there as well. Thank you for welcoming us here! We love learning about the culture and our enjoying our time here so so much!
@@CompassChronicleTravels Hey, we are here to help, so you can ask me, and, if I know, I will answer. Be safe, people
The entrance avenue you started in is the German area. Each building represents a German state (indicated by the giant state flags) and a German architectural style from different regions and time periods.
My favourite indoor ride in the entire park is the voletarium. It’s located in the German area right next to the entrance.
Oh how cool is that!! We didn’t know that so next time we go we will have to really take a look at that. What a wonderful idea! We loved Voletarium as well. Always been a fan of the glider style rides and the theming throughout the line is excellent! 👌🏼
In peak season, this park is actually also very European in itself. You will also witness a lot of French, Italians and Swiss besides Dutch.
That’s so wonderful to have so many from around the world visiting! We really look forward to visiting all year long!
@@CompassChronicleTravels Yeah, it's designed as a theme park also for it's neighboring countries to meet and greet. It's not made for everyone to make the most income, but keep higher standards.
The biggest difference for me is that you can take your own food and drink into the amusement park, you cannot do that in the US as far as i know...
I was in a lot of amusement parks, but Europa Park is my favorite one.... Always new things, rides and cool different sections.
Yesssss! Totally forgot to mention that while just being mesmerised by the whole day 😍. It’s absolutely WONDERFUL to be able to do that. And it’s such a beautiful park with so many nooks to have a little picnic at!
Of course you can bring your own food into US amusement parks!
"Disney...is that you?" Weird question, because...
Considering that many, many Disney movies are European tales...
Even the "Disney-Castle" is based on a German castle.
Haha yes they are based on European tales. We love it! We were more referring to the similarities we have heard about/seen at the Disney parks. Piraten in Batavia vs Pirates of the Caribbean, voletarium vs soarin, the country theme vs at Epcot, etc. But we loved seeing the Grimms fairy tale section and want to explore that in more detail in the future because it’s great seeing the original works or earlier adaptations brought to life! 💕
You have to come again next year for the new Area Croatia and for the new coaster "Voltron Coaster"
Yes!! We keep seeing the teasers for it and it looks like it’s going to be incredible! We plan to renew passes for next year and can’t wait for that!
Loved this video, you seem like wonderful people - Subscribed and excited to watch more! 😄
Thank you so much! We really appreciate that and are glad to have you along for the journey 💕
Never grow old, stay a child at heart!
Definitely! It’s wonderful to have places that can bring that part out. We are excited to keep exploring Germany as well as other parks!
🍔 Hamburgers ARE European, German invention. They haven't copied the US. Hard Rock Café is originally from 1971, in London, England, but was sold 2007 to the US (Florida). ☀️ It's in its right place. 💝👍🏼
Oh wow! Well that’s pretty cool! Someone else mentioned about the hard rock (which makes a lot of sense when we think about it). Going to have to read more about it!
People, here is another tip on food, between the lake and Scandinavia is a Restaurant with self-service, depending on the season!!!! you can eat there original Indian, South African, and other food. We had the luck and the honor to got there for a special event, when one of the most famous South African cooks was there, cooking and talking with her guest. That was so great.
Oh yum!!! That sounds amazing!! I’ll definitely keep an eye on the events calendar so we can try and do that because we love trying all the food from different places! Awesome that they took time to speak with the guests also!
@@CompassChronicleTravels We heard, that the lady cook from SRA was invited by one of the sons, when on vacation in South Africa. She seams to realy enjoy it, otherwise, she would not have come personally for many years now.
In 2007 we went by pure chance to a dinner buffet from South Africa, the first time ever, that happened in EP. The funfact was, the next year we wanted, and did, visit South Africa.
You two lovely's be safe and healthy.
Elmar from Germany.
@EP Micha Thanks a lot Micha, for the info. I answer in English to be understood by all but we also can "talk" in German.
I love seeing your reaction to my "home park"! Even though I live in Switzerland, I've been visiting at least once a year since I was around 6, and still love going at 30. Even had my bachelorette trip there lol
Thank you so much! We LOVE it! It’s our home park now as well and it’s truly a special place. What a fun place to have a bachelorette trip!! We also absolutely loved Switzerland when we were able to visit and hope to get back soon!
Hey there,
we've just discovered your video about your Europa-Park trip yesterday. It was a lot of fun to watch :)
Your pronunciation of "Piraten" was very unusual for us to hear as Germans but made es laugh through the Video :)
Thanks for your video about your trip to the Europa-Park.
We are also seasonpass holders. Maybe we'll meet in the future :)
So, have a good time and we're looking forward to your next videos.
Regards from Cologne,
Alex and Pete.
awe thank you so much! and hahaha oh no! Maybe you all can teach us to say it properly someday at the parks 😂😂 I do pretty well when I hear someone pronounce it properly first, but I'm lost on my own hahaha! The park is lovely so we definitely plan to visit all year long. 💕
Thanks for your report on Europa Park.. really enjoyed it... and so cute, watching you having fun :)
Awe thank you so much! We really did! We are excited to have season passes so we can continue going back and exploring! It’s such a big park with so many rides and there are many yet to try! 💕💕
Its great to see you enjoyed your time at europa park. Theres some other great parks in Germany with their own quirks and themes if you're not opposed to travelling. Phantasialand near cologne has even more immersive lands/theming with more of a fantasy angle and is actually older than europa park, but a greater focus on thrill rides and Movie Park near Essen is home to what is probably best described as a charming "budget" universal studios type experience. During the halloween season the halloween horror festival they put on is absolutely amazing, its the largest Halloween event in europe but still such a charming and well done halloween event, probably my favourite season to visit the park with all the additional decorations, shows and walkthrough experiences.
Oh we LOVE visiting parks during holidays. We totally agree that there is so much charm during those special times. And yes! We already booked Phantasialand and can not WAIT! It looks incredible! We had also been talking about movie park as an option so I think we are going to have to do that as well. It was really fun sharing Europa because we can connect certain aspects to parks at home for friends and family while still seeing how amazing and unique it is on its own, so that will be fun to do at Movie Park as well!
It is an awesome looking park. Would love to see more of the park.
It is absolutely stunning! We will definitely be vlogging more and going back and discussing new things and other areas even more in depth.
yes we want many europa park vlogs
Awesome! We would love to do more of them so we look forward to sharing again 🤗🤗
Definitely see the Disney vibes here. Thank you for sharing 👍 enjoyed it
Yes! There are things that remind us of it and then also so many things unique to Europa. It is a truly incredible park!
@@CompassChronicleTravels very nice 🙂 maybe one day we'll get to visit it
Last time I've been there was in 2009 for my 21 brithday. Blue Fire was a new ride and Wodan, Ireland, and some other rides didn't even exist back than. I'd love to go Europa Park some day in the future again. Just hope I won't be too old to experience all the roller coasters the park has to offer.
Madame Freudenreich's used to be an excarvation ride - sort of jurassic park thing. But this didn't work. So they took the dinosaurs and added an old lady and knitted scarfs. And it turned out to be cute (but also somehow strange).
It really is! I quite enjoy that little ride. It has some real charm and quirk to it! We have both just been so impressed with the parks. It’s sent us on a bit of a craze to want to see as many as possible.
A major thing you won't find at Disneys: trees. You'd be happy to have them during the hot summer months!
Absolutely! It is SO nice both in terms of seeing the natural beauty and also having that added shade, as you mentioned. Love it!
Of course Disney got trees. What you on?
@@maxmusic5380 At Disneys, it's all manicured to imperfection. But, yeah, it's the US....
@@butenbremer1965 you mean cared about lmao. Luckily Disney doesn’t only have parks in the US and Europe… broaden your mind 🤦🏼🤦🏼
Near Cologne in the town Brühl is the "Phantasialand". When you next time come to Cologne you can take one or two days in it. there are Hotels too!
Yes!!! Europa and Phantasialand were high on our list! We actually have our trip booked this month…can’t wait! Looks amazing!
When I was a kid, I just lived short distance away from the Europapark. But it has nothing to do with Disney. I just like the feeling to be in different countries ..like fish eating in Norway.. drinking coffee in the Netherlands...and discover Batavia
It is such an incredible park, isn’t it? How lucky to have grown up with it and lived so close! We love the country theming as well. It just takes you on a journey in the park! We actually liked it better than Disney but had fun seeing some of the similarities we had heard about in the park, but found it way more unique than similar. Can’t wait to go again!
@The Sassy Cinderella I was in Disney World in Florida ( I hope I said it correctly) when I was a teenager and simply loved it. I think it is now another level. But my host mam did know some people who worked there ,so I was in their office, and they all the Disney movies around, and the best was to watch snow-white there. It was amazing. I just live in Freiburg, it is very near at the Europa Park. If you are in town , you can just say hello if you want. I just work in the altstadt of Freiburg in a medivial house. If you come along another time.
Bamboe Baai is in the Dutch section? Near Piraten in Batavia? Batavia is the name of Djakarta, Java when the Dutch ruled Indonesia. The food is probably Indonesian (-style).
The artists in the shows are often, very often, on their way to or back from Monte Carlo, where the "Oscars" of the Circus world are awarded to the worlds best artists. So what you see in this shows are no push overs. The very often are the recipients of the gold, silver or bronze Clowns from Monaco, handed out by the royal family members of Monaco
Wow! That doesn’t surprise us at all! They were EXTREMELY talented. It was SUCH a good show. The park really seems to have a lot of variety in the show department as well which is great because you have so many wonderful options! While we want to see other ones too, we would both see this one again for sure!
I love nature in the park. The many trees offer the park many shady spots on hot days in summer
We totally agree! The natural approach to the grounds is just spectacular and having that shade in the summer as well as so many rides and shows to do indoors is going to be a game changer!
Wow, you really got around a lot, for the short time you're Here. Love your Videos, even as a German from the beautiful Taunus.😊
Awe thank you so much! Happy to have you! We are definitely trying to make the most of our time here. Easy to want to explore with all the beautiful places and architecture and rich history (not to mention amazing parks!). We could definitely see ourselves staying a long time potentially. Beautiful experience thus far.
@@CompassChronicleTravels you're always welcome, there are so many beautiful places in your area. Don't miss the Eberbach Abbey, "Kloster Eberbach" and all the beautiful vineyards.
I really must do those boatrides sometime. My favoriyes attractions are pirats and arthur, the 3 big coasters aren't that bad either. Looking forward to the new one thats coming.
And I rememeber The Geisterschloß from when I was a kid. The "greeting" ghost started his soeach and little me robbed back out under the closing doors - crying until my dad and sister came back out safely...
If you love Disney, please consider visiting Efteling in the Netherlands. The darkrides are top notch!
We just got back from here for a day this weekend! Can’t wait to share! It was also amazing!!
Really curious, will definitely be watching the vlog!
In about 6 weeks you're gonna start to sweat you a**** off ^^. Don't worry! Drier more temperate times are shortly ahead of us.
May and June in Germany ❤
Hahahaha we are preparing for it! We got a portable A/C for upstairs and plan to get one for downstairs too. Is it more of a dry heat here? We were in Alabama last and it was sooooo humid. You step outside and instantly melt lol. Really looking forward to the weather as it warms up here though! 👏🏼👏🏼
@@CompassChronicleTravels It is freaking 98% humidity here...so in summer....it may suck!? Well, It's still not like it the tropes.
If you love coasters: Go to Phantasialand, if you love fairytales: go cross the border ad visit Efteling in the Netherlands
Yes! We just posted out trip to Efteling which we LOVED! We got to Phantasialand about a week or so ago but it will be a bit before we share. What a park though! They’re all so different and special! We have loved them all for different reasons.
The family Mack, who started this park, makes rolercoasters. They want to show what was posibble for rides.
Tey still makes rolercoasters.
Tey have diferent "vilages" from Europe from Switzerland, Italy and many more.
Nice to see that Bluefire still runs. I said once to a friend as a joke that Gazprom will for sure take down Bluefire due to the sanctions, because the ride was sponsored by them😂
Hahahaha we are so glad it still runs too! It was a really fun coaster!
I haven't been to Europa Park yet but I definitely want to. I do however think it's like the most expensive theme park in Germany so I'm surprised that you're surprised that it's cheap lol! I'm from northern Germany so I've only been to Hansa and Heide Park. I wanna go to Phantasialand this summer which has some really great theming from what I've seen so far
Oh wow! We didn’t know it was one of the most expensive here so that’s interesting! Yes, compared to most the big theme parks in the states it’s far more affordable….and we loved it even more! We would love to get to both Hansa and Heide as well at some point. We do have a trip booked for Phantasialand soon as well so really looking forward to it. Hope you get to go this summer! We agree that it looks wonderful on the theming!
@@CompassChronicleTravels It's just a gut feeling based on the prices I compared on some of the websites. Don't quote me on it! 😄
Overall I think most parks will have similar pricing, the differences aren't as drastic as compared to Disneyland lol!
Definitely looking forward to Phantasialand, let's see who will make it there first 😉😁 Don't forget to make a vlog if you can :)
I´m German and go there so often! It is my favourite Park by far. So many cool attractions and the theming is lovely.🤗
Thank you so much for taking us through the park!
Thank you so much for joining us! We totally agree! The park is truly special. We both look forward to going all season long and also going to some of the special events and holiday events 😍😍
if u in summer u try El Andaluz Hotel they ve a big pool outside .... have fun enjoyed video
Thank you very much! And yes! We stayed at Colosseo this trip, but we actually peeped in to the lobby and at the outside of El Andaluz and both said we needed to try it in the future because it was so stunning. We will have to do that in the summer!
You must visite the Phantasialand, this is the better one 😉
You guys are comparing Europapark to Disney!
But did you guys don't know that Disney had his inspiration because of the Efteling!
Because the Efteling helped Disney in some way to build the Disney world you guys in the USA 🇺🇸 know!
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱!
Love ❤️ your videos!
Awe thank you so much! We keep hearing that about Efteling! We know he was inspired by Trivoli as well so would definitely be interesting to tour around to these different places. The parks in Europe so far have been so special and we have actually preferred them! They all have a real charm and heart to them as well as being top notch 👌🏼
You also should visit toverland in the Netherlands its awesome too
Oooo we just recently heard that name pop up but haven’t looked into that one yet. We are going to have to do that! We have definitely been impressed so far with what we have seen and can’t wait to hop around to more parks!
Cursed of Kassandra in Greece Would be a good ride with this weather
Yes!!! We have been wanting to head back so badly and hit some new rides we still haven’t done and especially with some of the nicer weather we have been having!
In numbers of americans going to germany. Germany is not high on the list to visit. Mexico is number one. Followed by england, france and then Italy. Germany would come after all these other countries. As you can see. Florida has this thing called sunny weather and warm ocean waters. That most germans love. Really, having to have a umbrella and coat on when going to Disney world in florida is something you won't see in america. Because of warm weather in florida. Along with nice beaches. Look at videos on haulover inlet in florida. That should tell you why everyone loves sunny warm weather and going out on the ocean.
oh yes! We actually lived in Florida for a time, but south Florida. Sometimes it can get SO hot in the landlocked part though but if you go outside the hottest times of the year it's lovely! We have been in hot places so long that we are actually enjoying the weather here so far. My allergies maybe not so much though at the moment haha!
@@CompassChronicleTravels Then try the west coast of america. It doesn't have the humidity of florida, but the ocean is cold also. The entertainment in socal. Where I lived is sky high and nothing in the world can match it.
reminds me - I need to go there, again!
Has been to long
The macks so built rollercoasters thats true. The company IS named mackrides
Love that!! It’s really interesting learning about their rides being all over the world!
Operations in Europa-Park are very veeeery fast😂
They REALLY are! I think the longest we have waited was on Easter maybe 40 mins max. That's really not bad for a day as busy as that was and on one of the big coasters. Every other time was 5-15 mins. It's amazingly well run!
Did you ride this ? "Arthur und die Minimoys" that`s an fantastic ride and it`s a litte hidden, that`s why I´m asking 🙂
We did!! We absolutely loved it! Made us want to watch the movie too. We keep talking about doing that so when we get a cozy night at home I think we will rent it. It's so unique the way they combined dark ride and coaster!
I am 66 Kilometers from Europapark and have the Gold Card for 1 year, i ❤❤❤❤❤ the Park, yesterday i was at rulantica
That’s awesome!! We opted for season passes as well and absolutely love it! We haven’t been to Rulantica yet but can’t wait because we have heard it’s quite amazing also!
Phantasialand is a good next try its like Europapark but a lot smaller but loved it in my youth
Yes! We can't wait for it! We actually already have this one booked very soon. It truly looks incredible and I think Casey is going to love all the coasters!
You have to visit Phantasialand too trust me it's also great
Yessss! We have been so excited to go there and actually already have the trip booked. VERY soon! We will definitely share when we go!
@@CompassChronicleTravels the Efteling in the Netherlands is a very beautyfull Park.
Watch and learn about all the coaster builders.(Coaster Studios is a good start to watch) How can you call yourself a theme park enthusiast and not know what MACK Rides are? I do give you a little bit of credit for getting out of the “Disney bubble” I’m a Disney fan as well don’t get me wrong, once I stepped into a European theme park I knew I would think Disney was the best ever again.
hahaha I know, right? We have always LOVED theme parks but just very recently started looking more details like that up. It's SUPER interesting! We will definitely check that channel out! And we feel the same way...we were instantly in love with Europa. Still have love for Disney but there is just a really special charm about the park. We want to try and hit quite a few this year but Phantasialand is already booked and Holiday Park will probably be soon as well. It's crazy how many amazing parks seem to be so close!
@@CompassChronicleTravels I respect you for asking for help and declaring that you are just learning. I know I can be blunt and harsh but I don’t mean to be. I would also add some British Parks to your future plans. Chessington is closest a to London and is a good first time park for England. Alton Towers is the biggest in England but it’s stupid hard to get too. If you need advice I’m here for you.
Next question 🙂, Did you ride the VR-Reality rides ? Coastiality for example and what do you think about it ? I was very sick after riding this :-)🤣
We didn’t! This is the first we have heard of that actually. Sadly, we have yet to spend much time back in that area of the park so that’s probably why we missed it! We will be going back soon though with our passes so we will def make a point to do it. Casey will probably do alright but I’m not so confident for myself 🤣🤣. I feel I may respond the same as you.
Please use the translator...:
Schade dass ich nicht da war.
Dann hätte ich euch gerne eine Führung durch den Europapark gegeben.
Ihr habt echt so viele geile Sachen ausgelassen:
Euro-Mir mit dem legendären Liftof-Sound.
Wodan, die meiner Meinung nach stärkste Achterbahn im Park.
SilverStar, die höchste Achterbahn im Park.
Der Matterhorn-Blitz und die Bobbahn in der Schweiz sind auch sehr schön.
Okay...ihr seid entschuldigt, dass ihr nicht Wasserbahnen wie Atlantica Superdplash, Poseidon oder Fjord Rafting gefahren seid.
Aber hinter Poseidon ist mit Pegasus eine nette kleine Achterbahn versteckt.
Der Europapark hat auch die eine oder andere Show...aber um wirklich alles zu sehen und genießen zu können, braucht man schon fast 3 Tage.
Und danach könnt ihr euch im Wasserpark Rulantica erholen.
Und in meinen Augen schlägt der Europapark in der Preisleistung die Disneyparks in Anaheim und die UniversalStudios um längen.
Er hat das beste Gesamtkonzept und ist noch nicht zu überlaufen.
Und nächstes Jahr eröffnet mit Kroatien ein neuer Themenbereich mit einer neuen Achterbahn.
Merkt euch das schonmal alles vor...
Ehrfürchtig, vielen Dank! Das hätte uns gefallen! Wir können dem nur zustimmen - es ist definitiv ein mehrtägiger Park und es ist unmöglich, alles darin unterzubringen. Wir haben jedoch Saisonkarten bekommen, also planen wir, mehr Vlogs zu teilen und einige der Fahrgeschäfte aufzunehmen, die nicht vorgestellt wurden. Wir haben uns überlegt, Wodan noch nicht geritten zu haben! Wir haben nur tolle Sachen gehört! Nach ein paar Mal sind wir uns jedoch einig, dass wir es eigentlich Disney vorziehen. Es ist einfach unglaublich charmant und bietet so viel zu einem viel besseren Preis! Und wir werden nächstes Jahr Ausschau nach dieser neuen Achterbahn halten!
AT the legt Hand side At the entrance you misst one Big atraction IT IS caled voletarium IT IS a foying Theater Like soarin in epcot
We did get to do it at the end of the day, but sadly had a bit of a camera error so we didn’t get to film any of the walk through. It’s one of my FAVORITE lines to walk through and the ride was beautiful too!
I dont wanna be that guy, but i always here american enthusiasts refering to europapark with just europa, which basically just means europe. Always confuses me lol
Would be like calling holidaypark just holiday or something
Other than that, love ur impressions! :D
Haha no you’re totally fine! We never even thought of it that way but you’re right, that doesn’t make a lot of sense 😆😆. We will have to try and file that away for the next time. And thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it 🤗
Let me know when you are coming to Munich. :)
Will do! We definitely want to head that way at some point! :)
😂❤😊😊😊
Did you already ride voltron?
We have! We actually moved all of our theme park content to a new channel called the coaster chronicles. Have you had a chance to ride it? What did you think?
Difference EU parks and US parks. US parks: Rules, rules, rules, expensive, locker costs, big rides, no theming, annoyed staff. EU parks: Welcome to another world. Americans response for every good park in the EU: Ey,; It's Disney. (Phantasialand, Efteling, Europa park, Parc Astérix, Port Aventura, Plopsaland, Gardaland ect... are all Disney for them)
Oh we have loved the ones we have been to here so much more! We agree on so much about the US parks…although we have recently had a VERY good experience with Universal which is more reasonable. It’s fun to see some comparisons though, gives us a good way to connect back home and our new home. But lotssssss of differences. In the best way possible 👍🏼
You absolutly hafe mi folow. I am an total Europapark And rulantica nerd
Thank you so much! We are glad to have you! We are totally nerding out over Europa as well so we understand! We can’t wait to go to Rulantica too. We hear it’s amazing as well!
@@CompassChronicleTravels IT IS Dinge the opening 3years ago i was already 13times.
The macks was inspired Bi disney back than when they founded the Europapark. For example Look AT ed And EDA they are mouses
mice, not mouses
We love Ed and Edda! They are so cute!! We love the inspirations and also the totally unique elements. It’s just a super magical place 😍
i
liwe
in
switzerland
Lovely! We can’t wait to visit there! 💕
Churros for breakfast???
Haha you know it! When that craving hits…😆😆😆
Your look-a-likes are Amber Heard and deadmau5 😊
Haha well thank you! Those are new ones we hadn’t heard before! How fun!!
No park in the world can match the perfection and unique design of Disney's attractions and theming.
We personally have preferred the parks here after spending time at them, but obviously everyone is different with what they like. Disney offers great nostalgia and of course very high quality rides and theming! (we still love those parks too and always will! 🤗)
Europapark hat niemals mit Disney zu tun bitte nicht sowas behaupten 😢
Mach dir keine Sorgen! Wir meinen nur im Sinne des Vergleichs bestimmter Fahrgeschäfte wie Piraten und der Länderthematik. Wir erkennen, dass sie nicht direkt miteinander verbunden sind. Es ist einfach interessant, die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zu sehen, und gibt uns gleichzeitig eine großartige Möglichkeit, auch mit Freunden zu Hause in Kontakt zu treten, die den schönen Europa-Park vielleicht noch nicht entdeckt haben 💕🤗
hahahahahaha so u amaricans always think u came up with everything
the original hard rock cafe stardet June 14, 1971 in london in the united kingdom wich is part of the european continent
u can google this easily
but i think the name might be trade mark so this is just rock cafe
its an amarican thing she sait pfff sorry dear it isnt
definitely don't think we came up with everything at all. I think that's a misconception. However, we didn't know that about the Hard Rock Cafe. Makes sense though and we could see it being a UK thing.
sorry u sure are lovely people but its a bit tiering and triggering for us europeans
also dont say u put something on the creen and than dont do it
@@YukiTheOkami yeah I think a lot of things get missed sometimes (purely innocently, of course) in the states because the country itself is so massive that we really spend most the time learning about the US history specifically. Personally, I would have liked to learn more world history but that just wasn't the reality. We are eager learners though, so we don't mind being gently taught things. We certainly don't intend to get things wrong or think America is responsible for everything. We can't speak for everyone, of course, but we definitely don't operate under that impression. As for the screen, sometimes it just happens. We try and be as good with attention to detail in our edits, but when the videos get this lengthy the editing can be quite taxing and accidents happen. I think I added it to the chapters on the scrolling bar to ensure it was somewhere within the video though as back up. They're really helpful to have there for when mishaps occur.
They aren´t Holograms in Disney Parks that are some mirror magic tricks they using some animatronic puppets with magic mirror tricks that let´s them look like Ghosts. And Europa Parks seems nice but they are more kinda a ripoff compared to Disney. Like the wannabe Epcot thing they having there I guess.
But it seems to be still a nice Park to visit if you forget about the rip-offs and focusing on the unique Rides they having there.
ah yes I had forgot that about the mirrors! Think I heard that once a long, long time ago. What a cool concept!! We actually prefer Europa after being a few times. There is quite a bit unique on its own and it's SO much more affordable. Walt was also heavily inspired by parks in Europe (like Trivoli Gardens...which we would LOVE to see as well for that reason) as well as European fairy tales, and some Disney parks have rides designed by the Mack family. So there is a lot of sharing going on but it's kind of cool because you get to see so many interpretations of these creative concepts through time. Highly recommend it!
Switzerland actually has two rides, Bobbahn and Matterhorn Blitz!
Also the village that you see is inspired after a village you would see in the canton of Wallis, which is very typical for those traditional swiss chalets! :)
Greetings from Basel, Switzerland
We will definitely look out for that second ride! Didn’t know it was there! We just love the traditional chalets! The styling is so unique and magical! 😍✨
@EP Micha oh yeah! I forgot about that one!
Since most Disney Storys are based on „Gebrüder Grimm“ which are German who collected storys all around Europe there are similarities
