Europa-Park is once again “Best Theme Park”

The awards of the family-oriented “Freizeitpark Tester Team e. V.” (FTT) are considered as the most important independent expert jury prizes in the German-speaking world. For 12 years already, its members from Germany, Switzerland and Austria evaluate European theme parks and elect their favourites in different categories.

This year, Europa-Park, which is situated in the border triangle Germany-Switzerland-France, was honoured with the award as “Best Theme Park” for the second time in a row. According to FTT, “Europa-Park has countless high-class and unique attractions as well as a great range of fantastic show programmes and entertainment offers. All this is combined with a nearly perfect presentation, elaborate theming, a beautiful park landscape, fantastic themed hotels and the Camp Resort, which is getting more and more attractive”.

Also in the category “Best Theme Park for Children” Europa-Park is placed first once again, because the members of FTT agree that no other theme park offers such a large choice of attractions for children of all ages. And also the launch coaster “blue fire Megacoaster” powered by GAZPROM was able to convince the jury already for the second time. The coaster, which was realised by Mack Rides in Waldkirch/Germany, was voted “Best Rollercoaster in Europe”. According to FTT, the combination of outstanding track layout, great theming, catapult start and innovative seats make “blue fire Megacoaster” currently the “most perfect rollercoaster”.

In addition to a total of three first places Europa-Park was able to achieve second places in the categories “Best Family Theme Park”, “Best Staff Members”, “Best Novelty” (Europa-Park Historama), “Best Price-Performance Ratio” as well as “Best Hotel” (Santa Isabel). In the category “Best Hotel” the 4-star superior hotel Colosseo is ranked third and also the show “Magia Nuova” has reached a fantastic third place in the category “Best Show”.
