Great to see more love for Geisterschloss, it has such an interesting history. I'm amazed the refurbishment took only so short, it turned out very well, although I do miss some of the old animatronics. Can't wait for part 2!

Man, I remember this ride from years ago... I visited pre-Batavia fire too, so I only experienced the old version of that ride too. Even back then, it was really showing its age... the reflection-ghost effect was still working but not very well, the scenes were disjointed, and I really felt like someone had jammed in too many copies of Haunted Mansion references, instead of letting it be its own story. This looks like a vast improvement, never mind that it was looking tired already back then, so I can only imagine how much it needed a rebuild. Kudos to Mack Rides, they've done a banger job.

Fantastic documentary, so interesting to hear from all the creatives. It’s amazing what a big transformation they completed in such a short time! I would love to get to Europa Park some day soon and experience the attraction myself!

I definitely appreciate the result and the creative work that went into the attraction. The Geisterschloss deserved some love after all the years of neglect. I love seeing what happens in the companies working on Europa Park rides and shows. Hope i will be able to experience Castello Dei Medici for myself one day but for now videos will have to do. When will the OST release? It sounds really nice.

Beautiful, I imagine they wanted to make sure this attraction was updated and preserved after the recent fires they’ve had. Sometimes, you don’t need to reinvent a whole attraction to thrill and surprise people. I would still choose practical, real, visceral effects over VR. Europa Park never stops getting better. 💙💛

Excellente réhabilitation, l'attraction est à nouveau cohérente et a une thématisation très originale malgré les emprunts à Disney. J'apprécie qu'ils aient osé raconter une histoire sombre sans chercher à faire sursauter les visiteurs toutes les dix secondes et que certaines scènes de la version originale aient pu être adaptées pour la nouvelle version, notamment la mythique salle de bal avec la légendaire licorne.

Das Video macht neugierig auf die neu gestaltete Geisterbahn. Es sieht wirklich vielversprechend aus. Ich war als Teenie mit meinen Eltern im Schwarzwald-Urlaub. Da waren wir auch in einem kleinen feinen Vergnügungspark, der heute der Europapark ist. Ich bin immer noch stolz darauf, da gewesen zu sein, als den Park nur Einheimische kannten. Die Pensionswirtin war dabei und fungierte sozusagen als Parktourguide. 🙂 Dabei kamen wir an eine Baustelle, von der uns erklärt wurde, hier würde ein italienischer Bereich entstehen. Italienisch sah da noch nichts aus, denn es waren gerade erst die grundlegenden Bauarbeiten im Gange. Man sah wirklich nur die Fundamente, sonst noch nichts. Könnt ihr mir sagen, wann ich im Europapark war? Denn seit dieser Zeit bin ich dem Europapark im Herzen verbunden und auch mein Wunsch, unsere Flitterwochen im Europapark zu verbringen, ging in Erfüllung. Vielen Dank an die Familie Mack und allen, die dieses großartige Erlebnis möglich machen.

@@j.n2814 Nein, ich weiß gar nicht genau, wann ich das zweite Mal dann dort war. Das sollte dann Ende der 80er gewesen sein. Aber klar war ich dann im Geisterschloss und es war bis heute zusammen mit den Piraten in Batavia meine Lieblingsattraktion. Ein Besuch des Parks ohne Geisterbahn - völlig undenkbar. Auch die Anreise, wenn man mit heute vergleicht, so richtig über die Dörfer. :-D Heute habe ich etwas Angst wiederzukehren, beides neu. Und das Video vom neuen Schloss hat mir…na…semigut gefallen.

interesting documentary but do not forget to show instead of tell. There's a lot of talk but not much images. Please show what the challenges were in keeping (were possible) the older animatronics / puppets. Now we are mainly seeing "talking heads" explaining.

Pas fan malheureusement, pas digne d'un parc qui possède maintenant voltron. J'aurai préféré une refonte totale de l'attraction en virant carrément ce système omnimover qui est pour moi un peu désuetet plus à la page et on sent vraiment le copier coller avec le haunted mansion encore une fois avec la stretch room Dommage le seul truc sympa dans le quartier italien pour ma part c vol de Vinci. J'attendais de la part de Mack qu'il' se réinvente sur cette attraction type maison hantée avec pourquoi pas utilisé leur propre système de ride track less Le flowryde. Dommage et puis pour piccolo mondo c sympa à faire mais même constat ca devient désuet et un peu kitsch. Pareil pour le quartier russe qui est vraiment dan son jus. Bref après ce voltron extraordinaire, voletarium genial, Arthur super cool. C avec ces attractions citées, le niveau de qualité que j'attend d'Europa park pas de retour en arrière

Just came back from 3 days Europa Park. 3 days of bloody hot 🥵🥵🥵 fun. Thanks to all the waterrides, there were plenty of possible cool off's. (Soaking wet. I love it) Europapark isn't very good in theming, to be honest. Of course, some rides are ridiculously good themed, like Voltron or pirates in Batavia, but many others aren't at all. Even some of the newer rides are just badly done.( I have never seen so many ugly "animatronics/dolls" together in one park. 😮 And, what about that parade from hell?. Do it well or stop it. It was embarrassingly bad. The same goes for the fairy-tale part of the park or even the great ride system, but damn ugly Arthur. I hated it. Absolutely a few levels below parks like Efteling, Phantasialand or Disney. Does it matter? Nope, Europa Park is such a fun park to spend a few days. Especially when it's 30°C outside. Highly recommend 👌

Europa Park is one the most fantastically themed parks in the world! Every corner has something to find and explore. The weird dummies everywhere are part of the oddness and fun! Other than Silver Star it’s exploding with beautifully presented rides

Europa-Park is a massive mixed bag of really well done new rides (Voltron, Batavia, honorable mentions for Snorri Touren and even dare I say Madam Freudenreich as well, yes it is an odd sight but so packed full of details that the overall quality of the decor isn't the issue here), but then also some half-baked things (Hello Josefina), which have also just been fairly poorly maintained and it already looks fairly run down, and lastly, all of the really old things, like some of the fairy boat rides or even the lil dark ride in the Russian Themed area. Euro-Mir itself is also really outdated looking, especially with Eurosat having been refurbished as well and (at least the outside n queue) looking absolutely fantastic. I have the feeling that is going to change sooner or later though. I feel like with a park as big as this and with how old it is, that might be why there's still so many really old things, both because nostalgia and because it would be too much to rebuild everything all the time. But even with all that said, in my eyes, it's still a solid park. As far as Phantasialand goes, I think it is very hard to really find anything that can really compete with that. Its biggest flaw are the massive downtimes at times that have been reported en mass by people before, and that I have experienced myself, but everything from theming, the rides, the food, it's all incredibly well made and in my opinion, Phantasialand has really pushed the bar for what a theme park can be.
