That feeling when we step through the gates and immerse ourselves in another world: the smell of fresh pastries and crispy snacks fills the air. Everywhere colorful attractions shine like a kaleidoscope of joy. Here, a realm opens up where everyday life fades away and pure fun takes center stage. Leisure parks are known to make both adults and children happy and in Germany we received the award for the most beautiful two days ago: the Europa-Park in Rust.
In the competition against Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, the number 1 always remains one: Germany’s largest theme park triumphs for the ninth time. On September 7, Europa-Park once again received the Golden Ticket Award for “Best Theme Park in the World”. But it’s not just an award! The fascinating high-tech roller coaster at Europa-Park, Voltron Nevera, was named “Best New Roller Coaster in the World”. The park also received the Turnstile Award for the successful reconstruction of the Austrian themed area with the “Alpenexpress Enzian” and the “Tiroler Wildwasserbahn”.
The award ceremony took place at the American theme park “Kennywood” in Pennsylvania. Despite strong competition from the USA, the family business from Baden was able to come out on top. The jury of the international trade magazine “Amusement Today”, which presents its Golden Ticket Award every year, emphasized Europa-Park’s unbeatable offer: the successful mix of traditional rides and digital content, the first-class entertainment, the outstanding gastronomy and the excellent accommodation offer. The reconstruction of the Austrian themed area with the “Magic Gorge of Diamonds” was also particularly praised.
Voltron Nevera at Europa-Park
The Voltron Nevera is a masterpiece of modern technology and visual brilliance. With 3D projections, VR elements and control systems, it offers adventure seekers an immersive experience. This 32 meter high roller coaster, manufactured by Marck Rides and inspired by the Croatian landscape, has become a true highlight of Europa-Park. No wonder it was named the most spectacular roller coaster of 2024!
