Rust, Germany
Following a terrific morning at the Mack factory, we returned to Europa Park for an afternoon of rides gone wild.
"You only have four hours," Mats reminded us before the park closed.
In the next four hours, we toured the best Europa had to offer. The park offers a buffet of dark rides. From haunted to enchanting dark rides and space-themed roller coasters with their own techno music sound track, Europa is more than an Amusement Park.
"That's just a queue," Mats said of the park's "Universe of Energy" attraction. An exhibit at Epcot by the same name sends passengers past dinosaurs. One peek inside revealed more than a walk-through. Like it's Orlando cousin, the Universe of Energy was indeed a fantastic ride, just minus Ellen.
At 4pm, Mats friend Donna joined us for some wet and wild water rides.
We sneaked through back areas of the park, thanks to Mats special gate key, thus reducing time spent walking, and increased time spent riding.
We ended the day on Adam's "favorite" ride, EuroMir. The spinning coaster really packs a punch.
"I think I'm going to be sick," Adam shouted in the dark during the last few moments of the ride. Meanwhile, Scott was hoping not to be the recipient of a protein spill.
In the end, Adam kept his crepe down and Scott purchased the coaster's sound track to rock out to.
We leave Europa Park wanting more and thankful for Mats and Donna for playing excellent host.
