We hope everyone has been enjoying the Coastin’ Thru Europe series! Today’s episode was the conclusion of the Germany leg of the trip with our second day at EuropaPark. Since everyone’s loved the series so much, we’re back in Europe as we speak exploring parks in Norway, Finland, and Sweden! While we are filming, episodes of the series will be on a brief hiatus. Expect new ones in about 2 weeks or less!! There will be plenty of other content in the meantime!! Thanks for all of your love and support! :) -Taylor and Sarah

[@Zatoka.]

You guys have the greatest job of all time, for sure.

[@venom-gt7rc]

Oh no, does that mean you did not go to Heide & Hansa-Park? I was looking forward to the reactions to Kärnan

[@sebastiannolte1201]

No video about the Kirmes at Düsseldorf?

[@NiekNooijens]

I'm just wondering.... After you've seen so much of Europe, what do you think about the stereotype going around in the US in some groups that everything across the pond (read, in Europe) is communist?

[@kateorourke6390]

Wow you guys are back ready?

[@jeffjellex]

I think the key to Europa Park is not the hardware or any of the rides that they have. But it's the way the park is operated and the resorts. It's a must to have a drink in one of the cocktailbars in one of the resorts after a day at europa park. Along with that it's just the stunning operations, decent prices and amazing gastronomy which all come together to make this one of the most relaxing places to go to. For me, coming to europa park feels like coming home and in my opinion that's one of the major reasons that they keep winning the golden ticket award every year. You really feel like the park is trying to provide you with the best time instead of the park trying to rip you off for as much money as possible *cough* disney *cough*

[@zygoat2369]

Europa Park is Disney if they actually cared about you and had some thrilling rides

[@Oatibix92]

Agreed. Europa Park is all about visiting it as a resort for up to a week and having a holiday there, utilising the hotels and now the waterpark as well. The whole experience is much more impressive than the individual rides there. Just spending a night in one of the incredible hotels, having their fantastic breakfast, walking round the park, chilling in the pool when the day gets hot, going back later for some more rides, having drinks and bites to eat at all the spots and then coming back to the hotel in the evening for a fantastic meal and then spending a few hours drinking in the amazing bars, only to do it all again the next day. Its the most relaxing way to enjoy it as there is so much to do and with a few more days you can do that at an easy pace. It's the only theme park I've been to where I feel I have to stay on site and any other way isn't doing it justice.

[@GeorgeT370]

@@Oatibix92 You were putting it in words perfectly...

[@danny.ray101]

I used to get bored about this park quickly, until a friend inspired me to explore the little things apart from the big 3. Since then I have been really happy this is my home park with a really nice water park nearby. Nevertheless, it can’t compete with the food and the immersion of Phantasialand 😅

[@erin750i]

Those projection shows on cathedrals are very common in Europe. They will also do them in caves and on megaliths too, it’s one of my favorite things to see there!

[@FlorentKubrick]

That's why we pay so much taxes 😅

Shame you didn't do the VR experience for EuroSat - CanCan Coaster. That was an amazing experience where you even got to walk a bit with the VR glasses on. Truly mindblowing!

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

Really cool to see you visit Strasbourg! It's a great city with wonderful streets

[@NoStressChannel4Fun]

I grew up in Strasbourg and I went to Europapark at least 20 times. So cool to see you guys going there

[@maxhagenauer24]

Europa Park is so insanely interesting is it not? Also the fact you did a Mack tour and Europa park in 1 day, that has got to be the most Mack rides day you ever had.

[@GhosterCoasters]

These videos are my favorite series going right now, excited for the new episodes in a few weeks!

[@saberline152]

keep in mind that most coasters at EP are prototypes so like the bobsled, other parks got newer iterations etc, so most rides they have are proof of concepts to sell to other parks and you can definitely feel that with Euro Mir and Poseidon, I actually hurt my leg riding Poseidon and someone in my family had to vomit after Euro Mir

[@Manu-gf3yl]

I think europa park is the best all around experience with one exception: one big thrill ride that stands out. I think with voltron it will be a huge step forwards. And i do think that they gonna make more coaster with more thrill in the future. They werent aware of how ppls interest will change over the decades and that ppl scream for more thrill rides. Wodan, the last big coaster is their most thrill ride and ppl loved it. Blue fire, the first coasters with inversions, which the founder of Europa Park never wanted, was also a huge step for them. And so i think voltron will be their answer on the critics for not having even one major thrill ride. Im sure, as i said at the beginning: europa park will improve their coasters over the next 10-15 years and bring us more thrilling rides, even the park will never have a thrill dragster, velocicoaster type of ride, i do think they finally go with the trends.

[@joshbrandstadter247]

I stumbled upon one of your Coasterin' Thru Europe videos and instantly got hooked. I've watched the entire series and want more! You do a great job putting these together and you're so down to Earth that it's easy to feel like I'm right there with you on your journey. I told my wife that our next trip to Europe needs to include a bunch of these parks. She just laughed. She doesn't know how serious I am! Keep doing what you do! Your energy is magnetic and I can truly see that you love what you do!

[@jarrodjob]

You’re living the 20’s and early 30’s I didn’t choose. It’s awesome! So glad you’re sharing these. So much fun.

[@jacquelineanderson4309]

The cathedral !!! What a great treat to experience!

[@roller12coaster]

You guys for sure need to visit Rulantica next time you have the chance. It's such an amazing waterpark with either thrills or chills. It's theming is crazy.

[@matthewrobertson95]

In case you weren't aware, Snorri Touren is themed around the mascot for the Rulantica water park (it translates as "Snorri's Tour").

[@AriAman2010]

13:00 if you look closely you can see someone lost their hat on the drop

[@katschaccc]

Europa park is awesome, but I'm so glad phantasialand is my home park 😍

[@DrMindstorms]

Sad they don´t have anual passes anymore

I'm happy you got to enjoy my home park and my hometown (Basel)! For me, one of the things that stand out at Europa-Park is the food offering. My favorite is the flame-grilled salmon in Iceland.

[@katschaccc]

You are welcome back anytime🥰

[@GeeVanderplas]

We have a lightfestival in Ghent (Belgium) once every three years with similar light shows on buildings and other crazy stuff all over town. They happen a lot all over Europe, but you we're crazy lucky to just walk in on that randomly!

[@victoriamaier5844]

Absolutely loved those series . Waiting for France vlogs

[@sampike5423]

[@DillJosh007]

Something to remember about the Bobsleds is that it is very much one of the earliest designs if not straight up the prototype. That's why, as a ride, it's kinda meh

[@CinematicCoasters]

01:57 i cant cook😂

[@unknownuser7542]

I totally agree with your opinions on EP. Having been at both EP and PHL I agree that PHL has way better standout attractions. Chiapas beats every water ride at EP, Taron beats Blue Fire, etc. HOWEVER EP has the variety. no matter who you go with, you will have a enjoyable day. the park defently has its flaws, but in terms of variety and maintenance its much better than PHL imo

[@IroAppe]

I'm so excited for Ride to Happiness by Tomorrowland.

[@guillaumecourchesne8684]

Don't know if you saw this but they're thinking of doing a direct train from Paris to Europa Park. That would be fantastic

[@FlorentKubrick]

It's done already!

[@drdewott9154]

I mean Rust which Europa park is located in doesn't have a train station (surprisingly). But Strasbourg and Basel, both of which are fairly close big cities, both have tonnes of direct trains to Paris.

[@basti0007]

@@drdewott9154 Well, it‘s not Basel or Strasbourg, from December onwards, Europa-Park / Ringsheim will be directly connected with a TGV. So you can go from Paris Est to Europa Park in around 3 hours. It used to be the train that was connecting Paris with the Black Forrest and Freiburg. But it now also stops at Ringsheim.

[@drdewott9154]

@@basti0007 Oh heck! I had no idea there was a train station that close!

[@basti0007]

@@drdewott9154 Yeah: Ringsheim station is approx. 4 km away (effectively like the exit from the highway.) Europa Park is running bus shuttles from that station in sync with trains, so it's about 5 minutes from the train station to the hotels and to the park itself (There are also speculations that the gondola, that's currently on-hold, might connect to the station - or probably even the new monorail currently built at the Rulantica connecting both resort, as this monorail would be pretty close anyway). So it's quite easy from that station to the park. The main issue until now was that high speed trains aren't connected because of the delays with the tracks. But this is about to change over the coming years and the direct TGV connection is the second step (after the Italian ECE fast train connection to Frankfurt, Milano and Basel last year). It's a huge middle finger for Disneyland Paris. So France, Italy and Switzerland will have it more and more easy to arrive at EP by train. The only thing that's still missing are German ICEs (as always)... ;-)

[@zafuw1462]

Nice vid

[@douglaspitcher3560]

I want to be a coaster designer for MACK, Intamin or Zierer when I grow up.

[@basti0007]

Thanks so much again! I agree: On the design-side Phantasialand is the better park. Europa-Park is the better resort when you stay onsite. While Europa-Park does not really shine in Darkrides compared to what Disney and Universal are able to do, they do out-perform any other park in their hotels. Staying in there and enjoy their amenities (not only the early hours, but also the theming, the incredibly themed spas, the food, the shows and the additional attractions) can be 50% of the "EP experience". Phantasialand is delivering the same within the park, but not to that extent in their hotels. If you consider to come back one time, I highly recommend trying staying onsite. 🙂

Very nice vlog! That dish you had certainly looks interesting. I can't say if my eyes are tricking me but it looks a lot like Boller i Karry, aka meatballs in curry which is a traditionally Danish dish. Also before I forget, when does the vlog from the fair with Alpina bahn get uploaded? or like when do you plan on uploading it in relation to the episode order? (EDIT: I found a tweet about it, I'm gonna assume its a few episodes down the line just before you guys go to Austria right?)

i choose max en moritz but in particular max (the blue side)

[@maxhagenauer24]

I'm wondering, why aren't you aloud to film inside?

[@CoasterStudios]

Trade secrets. They don't want competitors to see how they build their rides.

[@fabulousk9014]

You really need more time in Europa Park, why didnt you make the Tour one Day after? You really dont so the Park justice imo

[@Vice4Life]

Europa Park, the most anticipated park you want to visit exactly one time. Edit to clarify: I don't necessarily have this opinion, I was more summarizing the video.

[@StamfordBridge]

If you’re Taylor and Sarah, at least. I think Europa is amazing and I’d love to get back there. It’s even the kind of place I’d love to go just to hang out and be in that atmosphere.

[@flaffstar_99]

Europapark isnt for die hard Rollercoaster Enthusiasts. It feels like a vacation - I mean it kinda is, especially when you stay in an on site hotel. Even if you have visited the Park multiple times, there are always new attractions, Shows, restaurants and hidden areas to discover. The atmosphere is just so laid back and the guest Service is on point. It"s still not my favorite Park in the world, but I always Look Forward to my anual visit!

[@IroAppe]

Yeah it's just the atmosphere of these areas. Relaxing, much space, lots of water and/or green, well-themed like a vacation destination, candy for the eyes, calm and uplifting soundtracks, everyone is happy and excited to see everything, there are friendly employees and entertainers, good choice of food everywhere. And again, the atmosphere. There are many parks that feel a bit tight or hectic, or, I don't know, just maybe also with the design language, they're not doing anything wrong, but it's not as relaxing to totally let go. But at Europa Park you can just let go and relax. It's that feeling of a second home that many speak about.
