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!
Your travel guides are the best Shawn. So much needed detail! :)
Thank you!
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!
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!
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 🙊
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 :)
That’s absolutely fantastic. It’s a brilliant park!
Thanks Shawn. Looking at doing europa park this year. Thanks for these tips and suggestions.

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.

Great info Shawn thanks 👍👍
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
Thank you for your kind words!
Rally loving these travel vlogs, great idea
Thanks Karl
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!
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!
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!
Fantastic Guide, Shawn.
Thanks!
Another great bit of advice there Shawn. 👍👏👏
Thank you!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Anytime 😊
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!
They’ll be more travel guides on the way!
Very nice and informative...thanks Shawn :-)
Thanks for watching!
Yess shoutout to Basel! Can't wait to return to EP after the plague!
It’s a great place, really liked exploring Basel!
I’ve also been in that park!! I live in Denmark so that’s why! But it’s a really cool park!
This park seems amazing!!
It’s epic!
It's a gorgeous park! Every inch of it is themed beautifully!
Another great video as always Shawn mate
Thank you!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide you’re welcome Shawn.
I went to the park in 2018 and honestly it one of the best theam parks in the world
It certainly is!
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!
Have a great trip!
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.
Hopefully you’ll be able to visit soon!
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
They’ll be many more travel guides on the way!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide thank you!
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 love Europa park
It’s one of the best!
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 a fantastic area!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide That's awesome!!! I can only imagine!
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!
YESSSSSSS THANK YOU SHAUNNN!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching!
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!
Please make more videos like these, they're so interesting!
Thank you. Many more on the way!
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!
Europa park is my favorite park
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!
Park is unbelievable. Went after watching TPW vlogs and didnt regret it. Everyone should go
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
I’m glad that you had a fantastic time!
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 😀
Shawn, sorry typo 🤓
Let’s hope so! Sounds like a fantastic trip!
first again yayy i was hoping for this vid
Hope it helps!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide thanks it really did :)
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!
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.
It certainly is a great resort
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
Thank you Ben. There’s a few located close to Europa Park, see the RCDB link for details!
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.
Thanks for your suggestion. More on the way!
All said and done. It still sounds easier than getting to Alton Towers from London
Cracking Video
Thanks!
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.
It’s usually the best option, especially if comfortable driving!
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!
Thanks for watching!
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 really enjoy these guides! Would you be doing any guides to UK parks?
Thank you, I will be indeed!
Nice vid! Please do portaventura next time
They’ll be many more on the way!
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!
Have a great time!
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.
I went their when I was five don't remember but I can remember being terrified watching the blue coaster
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?
There is indeed!
Brilliant 😊😊😊
Thanks Ross!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide ☺️
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.
It was such a great theme park!
For such a small, obscure theme park it was really good!
It may seem like a silly request, but as someone who lives outside the UK, I would love to see an Alton Towers travel guide 😊
It’ll be on the way!
thank you shawn for the information i am planning a trip to Europe park it is anice to know how to get i dont drive i uselly use the pubic transport
Thank you for watching. Hopefully this helps you plan a trip!
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.
Thanks for sharing! I wasn’t aware of this, so that’s also a great option!
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?
Have fun!
Loved Europa Park , I'd love to go back ☹
It’s a fantastic resort
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.
i have a school trip planned to go
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
Thanks for sharing. This is great news!
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!
Food tips : first restaurant at entrance. Cheap & good table service, or near flume at Biergarten if you are very hungry, order "Schweinshaxe".
Thanks for sharing! There’s so many fantastic restaurants across the resort!
Would love on of these videos on Energylandia!
One will be on the way!
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!
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 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!
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!
I went there once, but I was young and unable to ride the coasters. Hopefully I will return though.:)
good video quiet day and what month best
May or September I usually find to be the best months to visit!
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!!
We would recommend starting in the Iceland area!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide thanks!
Hi Shawn love this series , would love to see one on Ferrari world in Abu Dhabi
They’ll be many more on the way. Thanks for your suggestion!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide 🙏🏼🙏🏼💙
I hope it's better than when I was there are few years ago! It was awful. I think there's more rides now, but it was hugely overpriced, with little to do
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
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!
here in Luxembourg there are some travel agencies that offer bus rides to EP including admission ticket, usually Rulantica is an add-on (in september, in Halloween season and in Christmas season)
Haven't been there for few years, I wanna wait for the Rulantica exansion, wait for a new thrill coaster might be a bit long
That’s great! It’s certainly a fantastic water park!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide yet it misses some thrill slides, like a water coaster
Are you going to do one of these travel videos on Liseburg in Sweden?
I will be indeed
I live in Switzerland and visit a lot
Can you do an Energylandia one please Shawn... Dying to get over this year and of course checking out lech coaster as well same time.
It’ll be on the way!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Nice one
I'd love to see one for alton towers as its harder to get there than the European parks on public transport. We had to cycle from the uttoxeter station going then cycle all the way to stoke going home
I’ll be sharing a travel guide for various UK theme parks as part of this series. That’s certainly a long bike ride!
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
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’ll be doing just that!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide i would say great minds think alike but i would be doing you a dis-service. Amazing informative content.
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
Thanks for your suggestion!
I have just been to Energylandia. My first theme park visit outside the UK! Where should I go next?
Can you do this for PortAnvetura please because I’m hopping to go next year ?
They’ll be one on the way!
can you please do this for Universal Orlando!
It’ll be on the way!
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!
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!
Will u do Port Aventura soon? Would love to go (again)
It’ll be on the way!
