    I gotta' tell ya': That splash hit the mic and - if you're listening with stereo headphones - it made the rest of the ride sound like I had water in my right ear...and I liked it. Added to the realism!

    Yeah... I wasn't overly wowed by what I saw here. The music was awesome and the set pieces were nice to look at. But, the ride could really use some animatronics. And that last part going into the building could use some extra set pieces. 'Cuz the modern building really kills the illusion.

      It's not even that huge actually - it's a Regular one for germany. But maybe in Germany we are a bit spoiled because we know bigger and better parks like Europapark and so on 😅 The are not as much rides as in other parks. And a lot rides are for small kids like a whole area themed with paw patrol and an Area with nickelodeon figures. The only rides which are really good and worth a visit when your older than 16 ist the shown ride Excalibur and then we have Area 51, the New coaster "Studio Tour" and the coaster which is StarTrek themed (and a smaller coaster with has spongebob theme in nickland - your Never to old for having some spongebob fun 😅)
