In the midst of vineyards, mixed forests and orchards lies Germany‘s first theme park: Tripsdrill! Over 100 original, humorous attractions designed with attention to detail guarantee unlimited fun for the whole family. Tripsdrill has repeatedly received awards as the best theme park in Europe. The highlights include the spectacular launched coaster ”Karacho“, the wooden roller coaster ”Mammut“, washing tub rafting or the ”Höhenflug“ – a turbulent flight duel. New: two roller coasters compete against each other in a breathtaking race. What would it be like to experience a rapid train ride in our Family Boomerang ”Volldampf“ – even in reverse? Or would you rather face a thrilling adventure on the Suspended Thrill Coaster ”Hals-über-Kopf“? Another new attraction is the ”Spielewelt Sägewerk“, one of the largest adventure playgrounds in southern Germany. In nine different areas, about 250 amusement features are available for the youngsters.

I visited Europa Park for the first time on Tuesday 14th-Wednesday 15th March with my Girlfriend and our friend. I’ve been lucky enough to get to a few major theme parks such as Disneyland Paris, Portaventura in Salou & the Florida theme parks and I can say 100% this is the best theme park I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. We arrived by car about half an hour after park opening and managed to get parked without any hassle. There is a bag check area before you reach the turnstiles however this took very little time to pass through. Our friend hadn’t pre purchased a ticket and thus had to get one on the gate, this cost no more than buying in advance and again took minimal time. The entrance plaza is well laid out with several ticket kiosks in operation. I would however recommend getting there earlier & buying in advance on a weekend as I’m sure it will be much busier than when we went in midweek! Once inside the theming is unbelievably well done and you could easily spend a full day walking around from country to country taking in all the little details. Food & Drink is more reasonably priced than most other parks I’ve visited (a beer only costs around 3€ which is great for the adults!). Most staff speak English however a nice touch is that the staff have the flags of the languages they speak on their nametags which is very helpful. The park is even dog friendly and we saw many people walking their dogs which I’ve never seen in any other theme park. The ride lineup is brilliant with something for all ages, from big rollercoasters such as Wodan (our personal favourite), Silver Star & Blue Fire, to a fantastic selection of several water rides, to a vast lineup of other rides, of which the standouts were the ghost train Geisterschloss (not one for those who scare easy), Voletarium (one of the most impressive simulators out there) & the amazing Arthur (do not miss this one!). There are also several walk through attractions (a real hidden gem was the lazer obstacle course next to the train station in the England area) and some spectacular play areas & slides which made us all wish we were still kids so we could have a go! Although the park wasn’t exactly bursting at full capacity due to the fact it was a weekday we were still heavily impressed with how quickly the staff get the queues moving, we only waited about 5-10 minutes for the biggest rides on the first day which was amazing & although the second day was far busier the wait times rarely exceeded 15-20 minutes. The park does not operate any kind of fastpass system which definitely helps get the main queues moving quicker. The queues themselves are for the most part very detailed similar to those at Disney & Universal parks with plenty to look at to pass the time if it is a long wait. Overall its just an amazing place full of passionate people who seem to actually care about the guest experience and don’t just see you as a walking wallet unlike most other major theme parks. We will definitely be back to see the waterpark once it opens as if it’s even half as good they’ll be on to a winner!

The Abenteuer Park (Adventure Park) just outside Schloss Lichtenstein is great fun for the whole family! We had a blast with a family of 4 - two kids aged 7 and 9 plus Mom and Dad. We all did the junior circuit together and believe me when I say that if you don't do this sort of thing often - it is not trivially easy and hence great family team-building for the kids to help Mom and Dad through some of the zippier bits! The guides are very helpful - the initial induction can be done in English (probably a number of other languages also, depending on who is working that day) and plus the team is constantly patrolling to make sure that everyone is having fun and not getting stuck. There are lockers that can be rented (against a refundable deposit) so don't worry if you want to hike up to the Schloss with a backpack etc. Recommend bringing a few things to make the adventure run smoothest: 1) a bandana so that you don't have to buy one - this is for hygiene I think, as the helmets are rented 2) stash a few granola bars in your pockets for power-up snacks - once you enter, there is a loose max. time that you can remain in the Park 3) a water bottle

We combined this visit with a trip to the nearby Barefoot walk. It was a great summer toboggan run and cheaply priced. The outdoor cafe/beer garden was good for lunch too. We enjoyed the Flammkuchen (french pizza) and Currywurst.

On the approximately 450m long kart track you will find plenty of driving pleasure on two levels. Special racing asphalt guarantees optimal grip. The karts can be driven with a height of 1.45 m. Kart feeling at its best - by environmentally friendly electric karts without annoying exhaust emissions!
