Europa-Park in Rust, Germany, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025.
As part of their 50th anniversary celebration, the park is opening a new dark ride, debuting a new parade, and more! The park is owned by the Mack family, which is famous for MACK Rides attractions like Voltra Nevera, which debuted in 2024. Read Eric’s review for a review of the park.
Grand Prix EDventure Dark Ride
The Grand Prix EDventure will be a new interactive family attraction. The ride will be themed to the “Grand Prix of Europe” movie, a 90-minute feature film debuting worldwide in 2025. The attraction will leverage the MACK Rides GamePlay Theater ride system that is also being used at Paulton’s Park for Ghostly Manor.
