Europa Park ~ GERMANY


The official Europa Park Mascot 'Euromaus'. Just like Mickey Mouse at Disneyland. That's what I felt like I was at. A big Disneyland in Germany. It is the largest theme park i Germanz and 2nd most popular theme park resort in Europe. I guess Disneyland in Paris is the most popular one. Will I go some day? My dad promised me! So dad, when are we going to go!!! hahahaha. When we were kids, my parents promised that we would go to very disneyland in the world. I've been to Flordia, LA, HK...a few more to go! Not many. HEHEHE.
So, as you can see, we made our masks. We didn't wear it during the day as it was hard for us to see and go on the rides. We didn't want to loose our masks on the roller coasters. hehehe.
So, enjoy all the pictures. We took lots....well, I took lots to show you. There are more, but here are the ones I choose for you to check out. We had so much time that we didn't rush, but we also didn't go on all the rides. It is too much for our stomach. The picture of the pumkin whale is huge. It has 10000 mini pumkins on it. Can you believe it. This theme park and so many decorations of pumkins everywhere was amazing. I couldn't believe how many pumkins there were. There must have been 100000 pumkins everywhere. There are so many different areas in this park. All named after European countries or reigons. There were so manz roller coasters here that i was amazed. We took a lot of time to watch many shows as we didn't want to tire ourselves out. It was going to be a long day. We got there at about 8:30 and doors open at 9am. We stayed until 11:30pm. It closed at 2am but my body was screaming for the bed as I got really sick. Not due to the ride, sick from a cold. Not fun at the end of the day. But it was fun. We painted our faces so that it would match our masks. It turned out okay. We did look funny as not a lot of people dressed up. We felt out of place at times as we got lots of looks. Not that I don't get looks anyway so I was use to the looks. hahaha. (Picture of the huge pumkin) There was a rollercoaster ride in there. It was fun. We went on it twice. Once in the morning and once at night. Just like Disneyland, there were thousands of people and rides had lots of line up. The main rollercoaster us up to 90 mins. That sure isn't worth my time in a line. Maybe next time if we had more people...that would be a lot more fun.
Sorry for all the random photos everyehre. Im trying to fit them accordinly,  but it is not working well, so you'll have to just look at the photos. Hopefully I can give you enough hints that you know which picture i'm talking about. There are a few that I have nothing to talk about as it's just a picture for you to see. hehehe. Some were taking during one of the rides. Like this one with the kids and the dog playing tug-a-war. hahaha. We didn't go on any water rides. We didn't want to get wet as Jan is getting over his sickness and me, don't want to get sick. Too late for that huh!

Alright, these pictures with the angry corn I thought was really funny. They had all these decorations of these angry corn. I don't know what it means but it was so funny that I had to share with you.Tell me what you think! I should give all these corns names. HAHAHA. They sure like pumkins or do they hate them. Perhaps they hate them as thez are hanging them like the olden days when they hang people or when pirates hang humans. hahahaa. But on the other hand, they look like they want to eat pumkins. hehehe. Guess what? Pumkin in German is Kurbis. hehehe. I've been learning a lot of food items, but not progressing too much. I sure need to study more.  Who knows when i'll be fluent. Learning another language is challenging. I guess who said it was easy!



This was taking during our train around Europa Park or should I saz Europe. hahaha. Volleyball scene, but no volleyball. They should have used a pumkin!!! hahaha






 Here is the start of the parade. Europa Park is celebrating their 35th Anniversary this year. There was so much confetti and Jan wanted to catch all of them. He was happy that he caught one just for me.




At the park, there were lots of shows to see. We saw some of them to relax from all the food we ate. This is a picture from the Gladiator Show at the remake of the Roman Colosseum. I sure like Gladiators don't I. hahhaa. There is a  video on my facebook. Check it out. 




Beside the Halloween Ice Show that I didn't take pictures of, we did see the Acobatics Show. There wasn't a huge 'Wow' factor, but it was cool. An old guy, world famous someone, don't remember his name rode a motercycle on a typerope while another girl was doing acobatics under him. Then another girl, 'Anna' was up 50 meters high doing other acobatic stuff. The girls were both sisters. It was interesting to see. 



 She was pretty high up. Yikes. Not for me.








So some foods that we had there were the famous mini donuts just like any amusement park. hahaha, but they like it with chocolate syurp. I do perfer the sugar and cinnomon. But these were alright. I also has the cheese on bread in Switzerland. hahhaaa. 

 Here are bird's eye view of the park. We went up on this tower, i think similar height of the eiffle tower. It was high. But beautiful.

Here we are, at the concert with our masks. It was quite a challenge to see but we loved making it. I will post pictures of that soon. Perhaps after another nap. hahaha. 




Here is a picture of the stage. It was amazing how they set it up. All the songs were in English and annoucements in German. hehehe. IT was fun.  On the left is one of my last pictures that I took as my camera died after that. We were to watch a 3D show. It was interesting what it feels like being a cat in a haunted house. Scary...but also fun, when you are a bit buzzed. hahaha. Yeah, we brought some vodka into the park. It was all good. Enough to get buzzed. It didn't help that I was getting sick. Perhaps relaxed me more to stay up a little bit longer.
So, here you have it. My Halloween day at Europa Park. What a party it was. I know I haven't finished mz Italy trip. It's on its way. I promise.
Hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween.
