This is the first park I'm going to once we are back to some sort of normality. We're gonna stay in Bell Rock after watching your travel vlog from the other year... This is a great series 👍
Sean, would you ever consider hosting a trip to one or more of these parks? You've got so much knowledge on these parks and their coasters and with such a friendly personality, you'd make sure everyone would have such a good time!
I recently visited both Phantasialand and Europa Park on separate occasions via train/shuttle bus and I found the travel guides you made during lockdown incredibly useful especially with planning the trips 😊
This park is right up there on my must do list. Great tips. Good to know there’s plenty of other things to do in the area too. Love this series Shawn. Another great idea.
I would love to visit Europa Park. It is at the top of my bucket list. I really want to try Woden and Blue Fire and Silver Star. Silver Star Looks Amazing! When restrictions are lifted I will most likely visit. Amazing Video 👍👍👍👍👍🎢🎢🎢
The funny thing is we were gonna go there in 2020. We were on the verge of booking the whole trip when COVID happened :(. Was so annoyed because we've never been and was looking forward to it so much. So this is a massive help for when we are allowed to finally go there. Europa Park is the Cedar Point of Europa in my opinion.
I'd definitely advise either hiring a car or driving over to Germany. Europapark is located in such a gorgeous area, and there's so many things to see and do within a reasonably short drive. It's the biggest park, and way better than Disneyland Paris imho! (And way better value for money!!)
I’m an American that would like to retire to somewhere in Europe, my brother lives in Belgium. Was looking at theme parks in Europe as a big Disney World fan when I found Europa Park. It seems to be everything Disney used to be ( as of late the magic is gone)and then some. You have the most informative videos I’ve been able to find. I’m trying to figure out how to plan a trip from the USA that would be easy. If you have any advice for Americans please post. Thank you so much for the information you’ve already provided!
Thank you Shawn :) Great Video! I've been there 120+ days and still enjoy it every second . I'm happy that With this guide more first time visitors can experience Europaparks Magic :)
I was looking at the airports and stuff as I always put Europa Park as a terminus of my spring break plans for when I plan to study abroad in Madrid next year. I found Stausburg in France to be the closest airport at 40mins. In this case, I have decided to end a trip starting at Movie Park Germany, 2 days at Phantasialand, Heidelberg Castle/Holiday Park, Tripsdril, Schwaben Park, an evening in Rulantica, 2 days at Europa and this would be meeting up with Marina of Thrills United
Man, that park looks beautiful!!! I also have heard the Black Forest is a gorgeous area. I read about it after being at Busch Gardens last year. The story line for Verbolten is so good that it seems real that there's an evil spirit in the forest...idk if there really is a legend about the Black Forest or not, but seeing pictures on the sight I was reading about it, looks so beautiful.
These videos are so good honestly! I one day would love to travel, quit my job in construction and travel not just to amazing countries but to theme parks too and I wish to vlog it all! You really do inspire me so much I just wanna say thankyou soo much I’ve watched your videos for so long now, Drayton manor and Alton towers are my home parks just like yours, I can’t wait in a few years to build a following up of my own and you will be the first person I will be thanking and telling my fans to check you out. You really are amazing thankyou so much
Best park in Europe and UK. Huge, quirky park. Terrific variety of rides from hyper coast, huge wooden coaster, bonkers euro-mir, wild mouse, water rides, dark rides, the lot. Loads of fantastic shows. Best theme park food in the world. Best resort in Europe - every hotel is top tier and their restaurants and buffets beat Disney’s best restaurants. Terrific service and atmosphere. Can’t praise this theme park and resort enough.
With a family i recommend flight to basel and hire car to europa. Took bout an hour ten. Our flight times were awkward from manchester meaning we couldnt check in till late and hotel in Rust wouldnt let a late check in. So worth checking check in times against flight times
Definitely want A Travel video to Cedar Point! Thanks to your Phantasialand video I'm hopefully going this summer fingers crossed! However Cedar Point would be A great travel tip video as it's further from the UK. Great video as always!
I mean, they do have silverstar which was europes first hyper. It also has wodan and blue fire which are some really good coasters and underrated in my opinnion.
Many thanks for sharing this, incredibly informative. Wish I had watched before booking our trip in August. Things seem to be almost back to normal post covid now, but some restaurants don’t seem to be available for booking. Thanks again!
I’m guessing you’re doing European parks to begin with but at some point will there be others, I’d love to see something for Tokyo Disney as those parks look amazing
Sean, at some point, could you please make a travel guide for visiting the theme parks in Australias Gold Coast? These videos are really helpful for planning far trips!
Brilliant video, so much useful information. I'm so glad that I found it! My husband and I will be visiting in June, coming by train from Cologne after a couple of days at Phantasialand. We'll be getting the local bus from the railway station to our accommodation across from the park and I am wondering how one pays for a bus journey in Germany. Can we tap on, like here in the UK or do we need cash or to buy a ticket from a kiosk? I'm off to see if you've done a Phantasialand video now!
I love Europa-Park and the Europa-Park-Hotels. I'm from Bavaria, so I always drive by car (around 500 kilometers). And I'ts always such a fantastic feeling, when you see the lifthill of Silver Star or the lighthouse tower from Bell Rock after a six hours car ride, or when you see (and hear) the E.P. Express driving around the hotels - love it! I think a travel guide to Disneyland Anaheim or Walt Disney World Resort would be very nice, too. :) Thank you for your great videos! Christoph
Really enjoying this series. Could you possibly add info on queue times (even just rough maximum times for parks biggest rides at peak times.) Eg. On a busy day is Taron queue going to be 1h, 2h, 4h? And if the park has any fastpass options (I know fp is a sin 😂) Looking forward to Efteling and Energylandia travel guides if you're planning them.
We always fly into Basel and get a hire car to the hotels onsite. Hiring cars from the French exit of Basel is cheaper than Switzerland. There are normally 4 or 5 in our party and works out best. There is free parking onsite at the hotels too.
You can actually reach Europapark using a Flixbus from Stuttgart airport: If you book early prices are around 7€ per person one way which is much cheaper than some of the other options you‘ve talked about. The trip takes approximatly 3.5 hours and transports you directly to the frontgate.
The wild west theme at American Adventure used to be great back in the day. I live a 5 minute drive from where it was and have great memories of being there from my childhood. It's such a shame it shutdown.
Hi !!! Just wondering ( I don’t know why lol ) will the London resort be larger than this park or not - do you know the sizes of the 2 parks ? Please respond , thanks !!!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide ok, when the second gates open could it be bigger - and also the concept art for the London resort - is that for the first park or both parks ? Thanks
Probably as an update to the Transporation segment: DB now also offers direct EuroCityExpress (ECE) train connections from Frankfurt, Basel and Karlsruhe. From Basel it's about 1 hour, from Frankfurt about 2 hours. These fast trains now stop at Ringsheim station with no need to change. However, reaching the Frankfurt connection will be too early for most people arriving with the airplane. You would need to catch a train 8am at the airport's train station and switch at Mannheim (not Frankfurt) into the ECE. You would be there close to park opening, though and could enjoy a full day. Basel actually is a good option: The train leaves Basel SBB at 15:38, which should be good for most arrivals. You would still need to take the bus to Basel SBB, but from there on, it's just a relaxed trip directly to Ringsheim and you would be there for the free "last resort hour" ticket. Here is the timetable: www.freizeitparkinfos.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Bahnhalt.jpg
Great video defo got some good tips for a future trip! Question ... where would you find the alpine coasters in the local area you mentioned at the end of the video
Let’s hope you can do I guide to London Resort one day, good news coming out of the project today 😊 planning a Germany Park road trip when the world is in a better place, great series Shaun 😀
When you stay at the Resort you can visit the park the Last hour of the day for Free!! And I think the last two hours for around 12€. You just have to ask at the check in. Very helpful if you arrive late.
What a great guide, we've just booke the Kronasar hotel for 2 nights in April, do you have any tips on which is the best pool and sauna to visit and where is nice to eat?
Another brilliant vlog and now I can see it makes more sense to do Europa Park and include Tripsdrill and Holiday Park rather than Europa Park and Phantasialand! Very useful! Didn’t realise that there is only one ride with inversions though!
Going to Europa Park a week Monday - cannot wait!!! Do you have any tips on ride order to make the most of our time? Any certain ones to hit early? We have two days there - Looks like the Monday will be busy but we will also have Tuesday where it looks to be quieter on Queue Times website. Thanks!!
Wonderful video! So helpful! Listening to this, it sounds like flying into Basel from Dallas would be best and then using the train/shuttle to arrive. I was hoping to also visit the Alsace region of France on the same trip. Do you know if there is a car rental place near Europa Park by chance?
You have probable had this idea but as it appears you are focusing on Europe Parks at the end of the series it could be worth doing how to organise a road trip to multiple parks. Which park best to start at which parks to go to. travel between parks etc....
I’m trying to go to europa park for the festive holidays. I saw your Christmas vlogs and due to the walk on rides. Would you recommend doing two days in the park then one day in rulantica or is there any amendments to the tips about how many days? Just as there isn’t many queues during the festive period
Hello Shawn, It was very interesting and useful watching this video, great information. I am thinking of going to Europa Park sometime in the future. I have been told that it’s a very good theme park and I have heard a lot of positive things about it. I am hoping to get round to going there. I do have a number of questions I would like to ask as you have been many times: 1. Due to the coronavirus pandemic at The airports like Basel airport, do they ask for proof of vaccination or Covid passport at airports through passport control when you have gone? 2. I did see the travel blog when you went through Basel airport, and then went to Switzerland and got the train to Ringshiem to get to Europa Park and that sounds like the best travel option. Are there any other airports closer than Basel Airport to go to Europa park which are close by? 3. When visiting Europa Park and the water park Rulantica do they ask for proof of vaccination? Or proof of a lateral flow test before visiting? 4. When you go into Germany do they ask you to self isolate? I know that countries have different rules regarding Covid 19. 5. When is the cheapest time to go to Europa Park? i.e summer time or winter time? Is it more busier in summer time than the winter time? 6. What would be the minimum days to spend at Europa Park to get the full experience? I know it varies from person to person but what would you recommend number of days at a minimum? 7. How expensive is the restaurants and other outlets out there in Europa Park? 8. How much money would you recommended to take out to spend in Europa Park for a whole day? Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching! I’d recommend checking the Germany entry requirements for this information! It’s such a fab park that we’d recommend having 3 days at!
I LOVE EUROPA PARK! Normally I would go every 2 years because of school summer holidays, but we would get on a Ferry from Dover to Dunkirk in France. Then we would drive to Duinrell and sometimes go to the beach, then drive all the way to Efteling stay there for a few days and then drive to Europa Park and stay there for a few days. Sadly The last time I went was when Rulantica was being built and we didn't get to see the finished product but I still loved being there in the park, I find the experience magical.. Just a question, are you going to do a Predictions and wish list for Europa Park? Personally I would love to see that as I am enjoying the series very much! Thank you for the video, I really thought it was interesting and might help me get there in the future.. Harry
Hey Sean, may I know what time you arrived at Europa Park on the first day and the sequence of hotel check-in and entering the park? I'm planning on getting to Europa Park from Utrecht, Netherlands in August. Probably will stopby Frankfurt a day before arriving. Love your video! Cheers!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide I can’t wait to watch. Once again thank you so much for this series. I just hope that one day soon both Europa Park and Fantasialand permit blind riders with a sighted carer or friend on to their rides like UK theme parks do.
Thanks to your videos Shawn i`m determined to book atleast 7 days at Europa park but can I ask would it be possible for you to feature and maybe even stay in the wagon or cabins next visit or atleast do a feature on them.
I'm planning a trip to Europa Park for my sisters 30th bday. What are your other Themepark recommendations for Germany? She wants to do Movie Park as they have a ride there called Area 51 that used to be the Bermuda Triangle at SeaWorld on the Goldcoast in Australia. But what other themeparks or thrill rides would you suggest? Thank you!
Shawn thank you so much for this video it’s been great help. I managed to book my train tickets using your help. I am flying into Baden Airpark and have my train tickets booked. I was just wondering do you book the bus in advance from Baden airpark to the train station?
Hi shaun im planning a trip for 2022 with my mrs and 3 kids. WE want to either go walibi holland or energylandia, Which would you reccomend for a family, kids are all over 1.2 and love coasters, please do guides on these two parks . thanks for the content keep it up mate!!
Hi Shaun! I’m arriving in Baden Baden airport soon and I’m feeling very overwhelmed on how I get to Rust. Can you advise on any apps or site which may help with figuring out which buses to get? Also are there any direct shuttle bus options? Thanks!
The London Resort, which would be built on the Swanscombe Peninsula between Dartford and Gravesend, has already been accepted as being a "Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project", meaning a Development Consent Order is needed to progress to the next stage.
i’ve recently seen an advert for the company Coaster Breaks, curious to hear your thoughts and to see if this is something to consider in the future. This company organises trips across europe for you and a group of people to go to theme parks as a collective. There is a set price which covers travel and accommodation, the tickets to the parks, and a 24/7 travel guide.
Y’know I would love to see something like this for the USA parks
They’ll be many parks coming in future episodes, including those in the USA!
Very useful information, lots of helpful tips in both this and efteling version. Great job.
Thank you!
This is the first park I'm going to once we are back to some sort of normality. We're gonna stay in Bell Rock after watching your travel vlog from the other year... This is a great series 👍
It’s such a fantastic park and I love Hotel Bell Rock very much!
Sean, would you ever consider hosting a trip to one or more of these parks? You've got so much knowledge on these parks and their coasters and with such a friendly personality, you'd make sure everyone would have such a good time!
It’s certainly something I’d consider in the future!
Your travel guides are the best Shawn. So much needed detail! :)
Thank you!
Great Video, I am so happy that Europapark is my home park, I live very close to Freiburg!
It’s a fantastic park that we very much enjoy visiting!
Me too haha 🙊
I recently visited both Phantasialand and Europa Park on separate occasions via train/shuttle bus and I found the travel guides you made during lockdown incredibly useful especially with planning the trips 😊
I went to the park in 2018 and honestly it one of the best theam parks in the world
It certainly is!
Very timely video. I’m in the early planning stages of a Germany trip. Keep up the good work
This park is right up there on my must do list. Great tips. Good to know there’s plenty of other things to do in the area too. Love this series Shawn. Another great idea.
Hopefully you get to visit soon. It’s a fantastic resort!
Yess shoutout to Basel! Can't wait to return to EP after the plague!
It’s a great place, really liked exploring Basel!

Amazing Video 👍👍👍👍👍🎢🎢🎢
I really a fantastic resort to visit that we’ve always enjoyed since we first visited!

Europa Park is the Cedar Point of Europa in my opinion.
Hopefully you’ll be able to visit soon!
Huge bucketlist park for me cant wait to visit
I'd definitely advise either hiring a car or driving over to Germany. Europapark is located in such a gorgeous area, and there's so many things to see and do within a reasonably short drive.
It's the biggest park, and way better than Disneyland Paris imho! (And way better value for money!!)
There’s so many fantastic areas to see locally to the park!
Europa Park has been doing well with new rides over the years! I hope they will go well with a new roller coaster! 🤗
They have indeed and it’s a great resort!

I like your german pronunciation. You definitely make an effort to get it right and it's working. Well done.
I do try my best! Thanks for watching!
I visited many years ago and loved it, had been planning to visit last summer but because of covid couldn't, hopefully will soon!
It’s certainly a fantastic resort that we very much enjoy visiting!
All said and done. It still sounds easier than getting to Alton Towers from London
I was looking at the airports and stuff as I always put Europa Park as a terminus of my spring break plans for when I plan to study abroad in Madrid next year. I found Stausburg in France to be the closest airport at 40mins. In this case, I have decided to end a trip starting at Movie Park Germany, 2 days at Phantasialand, Heidelberg Castle/Holiday Park, Tripsdril, Schwaben Park, an evening in Rulantica, 2 days at Europa and this would be meeting up with Marina of Thrills United
Strasbourg is also another option! Sounds like a great trip!
Man, that park looks beautiful!!! I also have heard the Black Forest is a gorgeous area. I read about it after being at Busch Gardens last year. The story line for Verbolten is so good that it seems real that there's an evil spirit in the forest...idk if there really is a legend about the Black Forest or not, but seeing pictures on the sight I was reading about it, looks so beautiful.

It’s epic!
It's a gorgeous park! Every inch of it is themed beautifully!
Love these guides. Looking forward to Energylandia and the Dutch parks.
Thank you. They’ll be many more on the way for a variety of different theme parks!
Not a fan of these travel guides myself but I’m happy you get them out there for people to see
Thanks for tour feedback. The idea of this series is to make it as easy as possible for people to plan theme park trips in the future!
Thanks Shawn. Looking at doing europa park this year. Thanks for these tips and suggestions.

Thanks Karl
Thank you so much! I've been looking forward to this video for a long time haha

Great theming but they need that one outstanding rollercoaster
For 2023 attractions
I'm guessing the zamperla windshear and giant discovery going to be there along with Mack twist n splash
I’d love to see them install another big thrill ride with inversions!
I mean, they do have silverstar which was europes first hyper. It also has wodan and blue fire which are some really good coasters and underrated in my opinnion.
Because Europa park didn't get a top spin and a frisbee ride before
Brilliant vid, loads of really useful info. Thanks for this awesome series. This one is a must for the future. :)))

Which park best to start at which parks to go to. travel between parks etc....

@@ThemeParkWorldwide i would say great minds think alike but i would be doing you a dis-service. Amazing informative content.

Would you recommend doing two days in the park then one day in rulantica or is there any amendments to the tips about how many days? Just as there isn’t many queues during the festive period
2 or 3 days is usually just right!
I really enjoy these guides! Would you be doing any guides to UK parks?
Thank you, I will be indeed!
Are the lines long on silver star and Blue fire?
They can get busy however the operations are world class and queues move fast!
Hello Shawn,
It was very interesting and useful watching this video, great information.
I am thinking of going to Europa Park sometime in the future. I have been told that it’s a very good theme park and I have heard a lot of positive things about it.
I am hoping to get round to going there.
I do have a number of questions I would like to ask as you have been many times:
1. Due to the coronavirus pandemic at The airports like Basel airport, do they ask for proof of vaccination or Covid passport at airports through passport control when you have gone?
2. I did see the travel blog when you went through Basel airport, and then went to Switzerland and got the train to Ringshiem to get to Europa Park and that sounds like the best travel option. Are there any other airports closer than Basel Airport to go to Europa park which are close by?
3. When visiting Europa Park and the water park Rulantica do they ask for proof of vaccination? Or proof of a lateral flow test before visiting?
4. When you go into Germany do they ask you to self isolate? I know that countries have different rules regarding Covid 19.
5. When is the cheapest time to go to Europa Park? i.e summer time or winter time? Is it more busier in summer time than the winter time?
6. What would be the minimum days to spend at Europa Park to get the full experience? I know it varies from person to person but what would you recommend number of days at a minimum?
7. How expensive is the restaurants and other outlets out there in Europa Park?
8. How much money would you recommended to take out to spend in Europa Park for a whole day?
Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching! I’d recommend checking the Germany entry requirements for this information! It’s such a fab park that we’d recommend having 3 days at!
I have just been to Energylandia. My first theme park visit outside the UK! Where should I go next?
I LOVE EUROPA PARK! Normally I would go every 2 years because of school summer holidays, but we would get on a Ferry from Dover to Dunkirk in France. Then we would drive to Duinrell and sometimes go to the beach, then drive all the way to Efteling stay there for a few days and then drive to Europa Park and stay there for a few days. Sadly The last time I went was when Rulantica was being built and we didn't get to see the finished product but I still loved being there in the park, I find the experience magical.. Just a question, are you going to do a Predictions and wish list for Europa Park? Personally I would love to see that as I am enjoying the series very much! Thank you for the video, I really thought it was interesting and might help me get there in the future.. Harry
Thank you for watching! I will be filming one at some point!
good video quiet day and what month best
May or September I usually find to be the best months to visit!
Loved Europa Park , I'd love to go back ☹
It’s a fantastic resort
Hey Sean, may I know what time you arrived at Europa Park on the first day and the sequence of hotel check-in and entering the park? I'm planning on getting to Europa Park from Utrecht, Netherlands in August. Probably will stopby Frankfurt a day before arriving. Love your video! Cheers!
Have a great time! Usually arrive and drop bags and head into the park!
Great video. You explain it all so well and easily. Have you ever done Fantasialand and Europa Park together in one trip?
Thank you! I’ll be filming a video about multi park visits in the future!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide I can’t wait to watch. Once again thank you so much for this series. I just hope that one day soon both Europa Park and Fantasialand permit blind riders with a sighted carer or friend on to their rides like UK theme parks do.
Thanks to your videos Shawn i`m determined to book atleast 7 days at Europa park but can I ask would it be possible for you to feature and maybe even stay in the wagon or cabins next visit or atleast do a feature on them.
Have a great time!
Nice vid! Please do portaventura next time
They’ll be many more on the way!
A few recommendations, Alton towers, any Disneyland (obviously), port aventura and maybe some more remote isolated parks like flamingo land or Oakwood
Great suggestions!
I'm planning a trip to Europa Park for my sisters 30th bday. What are your other Themepark recommendations for Germany? She wants to do Movie Park as they have a ride there called Area 51 that used to be the Bermuda Triangle at SeaWorld on the Goldcoast in Australia. But what other themeparks or thrill rides would you suggest? Thank you!
It’s a great park. Phantasialand is also not to be missed!
Shawn thank you so much for this video it’s been great help.
I managed to book my train tickets using your help. I am flying into Baden Airpark and have my train tickets booked.
I was just wondering do you book the bus in advance from Baden airpark to the train station?
Have a great time! I’ve not travelled through Baden for a while, however it used to be pay on arrival!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide thank you so much you have been a great help
Hi shaun im planning a trip for 2022 with my mrs and 3 kids. WE want to either go walibi holland or energylandia, Which would you reccomend for a family, kids are all over 1.2 and love coasters, please do guides on these two parks . thanks for the content keep it up mate!!
They’ll be guides on both of them on the way!
I also want to go with my girlfriend this year on quiet days (2 days) from the Netherlands
Hi Shaun! I’m arriving in Baden Baden airport soon and I’m feeling very overwhelmed on how I get to Rust. Can you advise on any apps or site which may help with figuring out which buses to get? Also are there any direct shuttle bus options? Thanks!
I’d recommend checking out rome2rio for trip planning!
Any tips on best hotel to stay in? Travelling solo and very nervous as haven't done a trip on my own before.
There’s some great hotels in Rust!
Would love on of these videos on Energylandia!
One will be on the way!
The London Resort, which would be built on the Swanscombe Peninsula between Dartford and Gravesend, has already been accepted as being a "Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project", meaning a Development Consent Order is needed to progress to the next stage.
I’ll be sharing an update with my thoughts very soon!
i’ve recently seen an advert for the company Coaster Breaks, curious to hear your thoughts and to see if this is something to consider in the future. This company organises trips across europe for you and a group of people to go to theme parks as a collective. There is a set price which covers travel and accommodation, the tickets to the parks, and a 24/7 travel guide.
Thanks for your suggestion. I’d always recommend booking trips yourself however if this does prove to be successful then maybe!
When driving from basal do you cross a boarder? Are the hire company cool with picking the car up from Switzerland and trotting off to Germany?
Usually so as long as you make them aware
