Half a century of escape in the heart of Europe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since 1975, Europa-Park<\/a> has taken young and old on a journey through the cultures and landscapes of Europe. With over 100 attractions and shows<\/strong>, 14 roller coasters<\/strong>, and 17 themed areas<\/strong> representing European countries, the park has become a must-visit destination for entertainment and imagination lovers. Among its most famous roller coasters is Silver Star, which remains one of the fastest roller coasters in Europe today, and the newest addition, Voltron Nevera powered by Rimac, an innovative coaster with seven inversions, four launches, 2.2 seconds of weightlessness, and the steepest launch in the world at 105 degrees!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the park’s creation, it is no surprise that nearly 150 million visitors<\/strong> have passed through its gates, coming from all walks of life. An impressive number, but not surprising when you consider that the park welcomes each year more than 6 million visitors<\/strong>, of which more than one-fifth are French! And to join them easily, nothing could be simpler: the TGV INOUI<\/a> connects Paris to Europa-Park in just 2 hours and 37 minutes<\/strong>, with a direct shuttle from the Ringsheim station. Nothing will stop you from celebrating the 50th anniversary of Europa-Park in style!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rulantica lights up for the 50th anniversary of Europa-Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 50th anniversary of Europa-Park extends beyond the borders of the main park. At Rulantica<\/a><\/strong>, the neighboring water universe, the very first Nordic Festival of Lights<\/strong> has inaugurated the anniversary year with a magical visual enchantment. Until March 21, 2025<\/strong>, magical lights, dancing auroras, and aquatic shows transform the place into a waking dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you haven’t discovered Rulantica yet, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. Open every day until 10 PM, this aquatic paradise promises dizzying slides, wild rivers, and moments of relaxation under the northern lights. We love the spa<\/a> area, perfect after a tiring day of loops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
