- We went to the second largest most visited theme park in Europe. Europa Park in Germany. Europa park is very different from any other theme park I have ever visited.

Been to Disneyworld, Disneyland, Canada's Wonderland, and a few other theme parks, but TRULY, Europa Park and Efteling look like the most relaxing experiences. I think I could just spend a few days there, just casually milling about, looking at everything. Makes me not even think about rope drop, rushing to get on rides, standing in soul crushing lines forever. Our European friends, really have generated EXPERIENCES. How wonderful!!! Thank you Provost Family for letting us go along.
Going from Amsterdam to Europa Park and skipping Cologne/Phantasialand is a cardinal sin. You should have gone via rental car or via train to include a day (or two) at Phantasialand before going south.
Allowing Miles to make the choices for the rides is the best part. This park is AMAZING. It's so fun! I bet you could spend several days here and not see it all.
The performer on the ball wearing a random backpack hahaha I love it!
don't forget to do the shows, there are some nice show there in the park, have fun guys, enjoying the video knowing I wil be there soon also :)
Wow these parks are so beautifully done but effeling was superb as far as beautiful.. this one is huge. Im so enjoying this Chis .. thanks for the tag a long . Cant wait till tomorrow!!!!
I’m not easily impressed, but that girl on the ball was incredible! 👍👍👍
She was really on the ball!
The ride that looks like Spaceship Earth at Epcot is called Eurosat-CanCan Coaster located in the France section of Europa-Park. It's interesting that they chose a geodesic sphere that looks like Spaceship Earth for the exterior, but I think they wanted it to be futuristic and spacy-looking because for most of the ride's existence, it was also kind of like Space Mountain. It had a space travel/space exploration theme and it's an indoor coaster, just called Eurosat. It also used to have a really kickin' techno soundtrack called In a Second Orbit by Stark Fader and the Cosmic Sound Heroes that I'd recommend giving a listen. In 2018, the coaster was rethemed to have more of a French theme with Moulin Rouge and flying through Paris, which is when they added the "CanCan Coaster" to the title. I can kind of understand why they changed the theme since I suppose space travel isn't really something that comes to mind when you think of France. The only real connection is that the headquarters of the European Space Agency is in Paris. The new soundtrack is the Galop infernal from Jacques Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld (better known to most as the Can-Can music), but Europa-Park did keep an orchestral version of In a Second Orbit as a part of the ride during the lift hill. Eurosat also has a VR ride experience for the coaster that's currently themed to The Phantom of the Opera.
It's actually a geodesic sphere that looks like Buckminster Fullers' .. :-) Including the one in Epcot ! :-) ... and, OH SORRY, Walther Bauersfeld (a german architect) designed the first one (1926) ! 🙂 See : Zeiss-Planetarium in Jena, Germany (Still operating)
Oh, interesting! It would fit with the original space travel theme of Eurosat if the first geodesic dome was designed for a planetarium. Thanks for the knowledge!
💖Europa Park looks fantastical!
And it didn’t look like you had to buy a geni plus or fast lane or virtual que you just went and had a nice enjoyable day take note Disney !!!
There actually is an option for a virtual line via the app but it’s completely free. You just scan your ticket into the app and then you can choose time slots. Of course sometimes they’re already booked out but usually you can still get some. The virtual line is only for like 5 roller coasters or something like that.
Wow, that place looks awesome! Thats a real theme park!
Man
You're hitting all the parks in Europe! Awesome.
Haha then he needs to do 200 more 😂
Foodloop is worth the trip to me, that is pure money making magic. Kinetic energy and food together is mind blowing, id be there for hours just watching it from every angle.
There are a few more around the world, search for roller coaster restaurant.
It's great that you're visiting Europa-Park. I have been a Europa-Park fan from the very beginning. I grew up around 80 km away and was able to follow the development of the park. It is one of my happy places. I hope you had a lot of fun and didn‘t miss out „Piraten in Batavia“.
It was nice to see how beautiful clean and clear all the water looked 🤣
27:18 the little train is one of the oldest attractions in the park, which was rethemed a few years ago to "Jim Knopf" (Jim Button) one of the most popular books of Michael Ende a famous german childrens book author the ride is mostly oriented by the irl movie from 2018. It is kinda sad that the many references are lost on you, since you are not familiar with this story, but let me tell you it is very good at conveying the feel of a story many Germans hold dear while also giving new life to an old attraction.
Chris, your love of life and most importantly your love for Amanda and Miles is the most attractive thing about your videos and your videos are spectacular. I have no desire to go to our theme parks any more, the shade, benches, not walking for miles without a place to sit, the icons that tell what to expect on a ride has sparked my interest to go to the European parks. Thank you.
I have so many childhood memories of that park. It evolved in all those years. Thank you for shooting this park!
18:24 that song right there in the background is legendary. Everyone who's been there will recognize it immediately 👍
I've been there about 15 times now since I was a little kid.
Going 2 day in October.
Love this park so much
This park is Mack Rides showroom. They use every corner for their rides. I think the only ride that are not theirs are the B&M silverstar and GCI Wodan. I love to visit there❤❤❤
For the roller coasters, you are nearly correct.
Ba-a-a-Express: ART Engineering GmbH
Silver Star: B&M
Wodan: GCI
However, a lot of the flat rides are not from Mack as well. That includes Voletarium (Brogent Technologies), Euro-Tower (Intamin), Fjord Rafting (Intamin), Vindjammer (Huss), EP-Express (Von Roll) and a few small rides by Zamperla and Zierer.
I just think about Miles's very first coaster on Seven Dwarves Mine Train and you weren't sure if he would like it. It's a good thing he did because now he's going on some of the most intense coasters all around the world!
Nice park. It looks like it’s quite full tho. That’s what I like about Efteling. A lot of nature and space. It makes you feel more relaxing.
The europapark was foundet 1975 back than it was also used as an expo area for mackrides. Still the most atracktions are from mackrides. Actually voltron is the newest addition to the europapark oppened this year in may. I am happy you loved the park.
When you showed the bobsled ride my eyes went wide cause Efteling also had a bobsled ride but they had to take it down because it was getting really old and malfunctioned all the time. It's been replaced by Max&Morits. Used to be one of my favorite rides at Efteling, and I actually really miss it. So now that I know there's one in Europa Park, I WANNA GO!! :"D Even though it does look a bit different, I still would love to go O_O
I agree that this park is leaps and bounds ahead of most US parks. Everything is so beautifully themed and well kept. On my visit I never encountered a broken down attraction.
Europa-Park is really great but have you ever been to Phantasialand? It is also in Germany near Cologne. It is not as big as Europa-Park but the theming of the areas is even better (in my opinion). The themed areas in mexican and african style are amazing and they also have so impressive and immersive areas with Steam Punk and Middle Age theming. The best rides are Taron, Fly, Black Mamba and Chiapas. And by the way: The food there is delicious!
Phantasialand is definetivly the masterclass of theming.
The Whale Adventure and entire area around Blue Fire is actually designed by Imagineer Michel den Dulk when he worked for Europa-Park. You can see similar designs as in the Frozen areas in the Disney parks.
Wow, there is so much to do there. You really need a couple days. Thanks for sharing CHRIS. It looks like you all had a good time. Specially, the loop restaurant.😄 Will stay tuned in for tomorrow. Have a good night.
Loving these posts, Chris! I would have never known about this park so thank you for making the journey. Remember to rest and hydrate my friend!! 🤘🏼
Loving the videos!
That food was haulin' a$@ on that food coaster 😹😹😹
Loving your videos! Miles is so brave!
Looks like fun so love y’all’s videos
Chris thanks for the Deutschland Euro park video . I've heard its more visited than France disney. I kept expecting to see Mickey ,Minny, and Donald duck. Hahaha
Love this video! Such an amazing park! It’s beautiful! ❤
I love it I love all the little nuances
Wow! What an awesome park! Glad you guys had fun!!
Best operated park i have been to. The queues are constantly moving.
It looks like the Temu version of the Efteling
there was a "bobsled" coaster in six flags Los Angeles in the 80's for the olympics
The park looks amazing. So glad you’re having a good time.
Loved the restaurant I’m with you miles could watch that all day!! Super jealous about the Bobsled ride looked like fun!! Amanda you did so good with your research!! Another amazing video. Can’t wait for tomorrow
The little monorail you went on reminds me of the People Mover.
Thank you Sir
EPCOT at 25:15 ... Amazing!! 🤯😲
Thank you Chris for all you do! I will never be able to do this !
Was the bobsled fun or scary Chris? In my mind it might be both but I am curious what you thought. Amanda you did great planning this trip out. Lots of fun and unique things to do and explore. Thank you for sharing these adventures. I know I am late in responding, I am catching up. 😊
It was fun with a little scary
Norway is the best you should go into the temple and look at the artifacts. It's amazing in the temple. (in Norway you call it the Great Hall.)
This park looks awesome! We have a toboggan coaster at Knoebels in Pennsylvania....I feel like you'd appreciate Knoebels and my home park Hersheypark.
The Europa Park is awesome! ❤ I visit the park every year.
"fun guy" took me a moment. ;-)
The first time USA and USSR met in space was the, Apollo-Soyuz mission in July 1975.
Mir didn't go up until 1986. The first time the space shuttle docked with Mir was; June 29, 1995.
“We going on the little boat that squirts.”
Hi! 👋😄 Wodan roller coaster used to be better. After the years it became shaking to much... it is also from the same manufacturer as Joris And The Dragon at De Efteling 👌 GCI.
What an amazing place. That place you had lunch WOW how crazy and cool. I so want to ride that bobsled coaster, that look like so much fun, even though it was short but still.
Hi Provost Fam. How many times can I say WOW? At least 20 times. Thank you for bringing us along for another fun day at a different park. Amanda, is the Queen of Provost Park Pass (definitely not a Princess). Stay Safe, Keep having Fun, and on to the next Adventure.
Oh, you made it …
Just commented on your Efteling clip to visit Europa park a couple of hours ago 😂
No, Epcot was supposed to be like what it was in the 80's, and it was fantastic !
But later CEO's changed Epcot and destroyed it forever.
I totally get what you mean in the end. I am a regular visitor since 18 years now. And even i get somteimes to the point where i think so mutch to do snd not enough time. Hiw must it be for a first visitor. I had saw growing the park in the last 18 years a lot. And always when i think now it is over. They bring something new. This year for example they opened kroatia and voltron. So yes it is massive and overwhelming.
I Think you Mist some must do Attractions like :
- poseidon (greece) water Coaster
- Piraten in batavia ( Holland) dark ride
- Voletarium (Germany) Flying Theater
- Arthur ( Magic Forest ) dark ride / roller Coaster
- Can can Coaster ( France) Roller coaster
- Madame Freuden reich (France) dark ride
- silver star ( France ) Roller coaster
- the many shows in the park
I also wonder why he missed Piraten in Batavia. 😢
Voltron is the new main attraction in the park. It is very spectacular and huge and you can see it from many places. And in the park there is so much advertising for this new coaster. I wonder how is it possible to miss it... 🤔
I visit EP at least once or twice a year and I never knew there was a laser maze :D
Europapark is a subsidiary of Mack Rides. I think they also use it as a test arena and showroom for customers.
Europa Park doesn't belong to Mack Rides. Both of these companies belong to the Mack family.
Yes, the Mack family uses Europa Park as showroom / test their new rides.
Me on the bobsleds "COOOOOL RUNNINGS!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣
I love the World show case,wow
so Europe has a USA park ?
Thank for sharing your trip with us. It looks like a beautiful park. Reminds me a bit of Busch Gardens Williamsburg here. I know a lot of people complain about Disney not having enough thrill rides but as a family that’s not into thrill rides at all it’s the reason we go back to Disney time after time. It’s wild that they have their own “Epcot” like ball! We lived in Germany a number of years when our kids were very small, I wish I recall the name of the park we went to but that was 30 plus years ago! lol
Where did you live and how far away was the park? We have Phantasialand near Cologne, the Heidepark near Hamburg. Along with Europa Park these are the biggest 3. We also have Holiday Park in Haßloch (close to Speyer and Mannheim), Tripsdrill and some more
have fun with the Euro Mir soundtrack randomly poping up in your brain for the next three month.
The park looks really beautiful! It looks like Walt might have gotten his inspiration from this park maybe🤨🤨 Thank you for sharing your Europe experience with all of us! It's awesome Chris🙏🙏👏👏🎉🎉
Idk if Walt was involved with Disney Land at all. The Eurosat Sphere is heavily "inspired" by Disney's Epcot. I'm pretty sure the Parades in the park are as well and probably some of the earlier shows or the idea to include shows. Europa Park even has a Mouse mascot. So there's that.
I'm certain that Disney and their success with their park(s) is the reason the Europa Park evolved from a chill Fairytale Park (most of which is still there), to one of the best parks in Europe if not world wide is thanks to Disney's blueprint. Along with the fact that the family who owns the park managed to become of the big and successful roller coaster manufacturers
What were the wait times like? Great vlog😃Going in 3 weeks!
👍🏻Miles is a champ! 👍🏻
The bobsled is cool
Grew up in Germany and went to Europapark in the 70s. It looks like it changed a lot. All my family still lives in Germany, looks like we need to go again next time we visit.
Years ago, Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA had a trackless coaster called the Sarajevo Bobsled.
My wife and I got in front and three big football players were in back. As we were pulling out of the station I heard someone from the loading dock say, “They’re going to FLY!”
And we did 👍🏼
Sadly the ride was taken out the following year.
What year did it get taken out ??? I've been going since 2010 and haven't heard of it . I miss dejavu tho
@@pabloramos420 - it went was there to coincide with the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics. The ride came out in 1985
Whow what a nice park.
Interesting to see this park from the eyes of a first time visitor without any plan or agenda, just riding wherever the feet take you. I can't bring myself to do that, as I'm always afraid of missing out on the main attractions and only learning of it afterwards.
Europa park is a 2-3 day park. Fantastically large, well themed, and super clean.
I live so close can’t believe I missed them I hope you enjoyed Chris and Amanda
Imagine running into your favourite Disney-Park-CZcamsr in your Homepark hahah
Make sure you see the garden area where restaurant balzar is
Wow that place is huge,I can see how overwhelming it must be; very beautifully landscaped though. That restaurant is fun, I`ve seen video of one like it at Alton Towers theme park in England; Jackie from Super Enthused made a video a few years ago.
Piraten en Bativia and Voletarium are rides you need to ride
And now imagine that: the park is family owned since 50 years. Continuing.
And we all hope it will never change.
Looked like Empress Sisi being crowned in the Austria ride. The stars in her hair looks like her ❤
As today, disney, in general, is not even in the top 5! That park you are now is what probably disney was when they were real " imagineers!
You should have taken a free plan of the parc with the times of the different shows. There‘s lot more to see. Hope you enjoyed your stay!
I've been to Euro Park. my daughter just lives two hours away in Germany. We went last year. It was so fun. We had such a great time and we went for Halloween the year before. Also, I live in the United States but my family is from there and we go over home a few times every few years, it was great. They had great food and wonderful. Nice people and big rides and entertainment was fun and they have a nice mascot. We love Europa Park!!!!! ❤🎉
Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA the Sarajevo bobsled ride.
Fun fact it is not the 1st loopingrestaurant ... the first was in nuremberg, was then closed for teaching staff to work in such a restaurant and is nowadays closed completely
No theme Park in this World can Match with Our great German Europa Park 😎😌
Chris, I give the MIR toilet a 1/2 flush!!! 🚽🤣 Love ya ! 🤟🤟
Go across to the europa park western themed campsite, the restaurant in it is called the silver saloon lake saloon . It’s American style grub , steaks , burgers etc really nice .
Also a pizza place there that’s great value
Hey 👋 well maybe you remember I’m the boy and we talk in Walibi Village and I didn’t know that you’re a CZcamsr well now I know and wow 🤩 ❤
Some facts about the things seen in this video:
- Wodan is themed after Norse mythology. You pass by e. g. Yggradsil (the tree of life), Hel (godess of death), the fountain of Mimir, and the loading station is meant to be Valhall, the final resting place for warriors fallen in war.
- Whale Adventures Splash Tours used to be an attraction where you could get yourself and others soaking wet, but it was not as popular by the guests as expected. So the park decided to build some walls into the attraction with targets you can shoot on instead of getting the people in the opponent boats wet.
- The Austrian Boat ride used to be an African themed Boat ride just a few years ago, hence the African restaurant and theming objects next to it. Some people thought that the African theme is not up-to-date anymore; which may have led to a change on the theming. However, the ride was getting old on the other hand and they might have renovated it anyway soon.
- The rollercoaster restaurant franchise can also be found outside Europa-Park, e. g. in Alton Towers (UK), Hamburg, Vienna, Abu Dhabi and some other cities.
- The space station in Russia is not the original one, it's an replica.
- The little train ride is themed after the two "Jim Button" films. Jim Button is popular in Germany, it's a beautiful book series written by Michael Ende.
- I do not know your channel, this is just the second video I see of you, but it seems like you are focused on Disney Parks. You seem to have missed out "Piraten in Batavia" (pirate themed dark ride) and Voletarium (Flying theater like "Soarin' over California", except this time, you're flying over Europe). You could have made a nice comparison to Disney there! :)
Europa Park has something for everyone! It's the only park I've visited where you see teenagers, toddlers and elderly people all in the same theme park. That Swiss Bobsleigh was actually the prototype for that type of ride produced by Mack (who also own the park, it's like their showroom!). There are also some really hidden rides there too! :)
No, that is not true. The park is absolutely ignoring thrill seekers. Also the new coaster Voltron is not really thrilling. Phantasialand is actually much better and they are not afraid of harder thrill. They really have something for everyone.
I hope you tried the Lindt chocolate balls! They are lovely. Don't forget to eat at Schloss Balthasar, great schnitzel.
Did you know that Europa-Park is basically a showroom for Mack Rides. They manufacture most of the rides you saw in that park and sell their products all over the world.
By the way, your puns are immaculate! 😀
Chris hope you’re getting some rest. You seem exhausted.
HI, i hope you had a nice Experience at Europapark
I was there 2days ago for 2 days and it was awsome, i hope you had been on the new coater (Voltron) because the ride is really epic.
Greetings from Switzerland 🫕
Just a few Infos about the Park. This Park opened in 1975 so next year this Park will be 50years old. This Park is runned by the family Mack, who also are the owner of the RollerCoaster Manufacturer MackRides. And this Park is supposed to be a Testarea for new inventened coasters for MackRides.
We have bobsleds - guess where - NEW ENGLAND Chris lol
You have not been on one of the shows? Europapark offers the craziest Shows with ice skeating and all
I'd like a food loop in my kitchen!!!! 😊
Dear Provost family,
We loved this video. Thank you.
The Johnson Family.
Kermit and the mushroom?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is actually the other way around. Europapark is like Disney. The family mack by the way oner of mackrides is inspired by Disney
