Europa is a wonderful and clean park. I have no idea how they keep it so clean, I do not recall seeing a single person picking up trash all day yet the place was immaculate.

I was surprised that so many people would just hang out in the fountains fully clothed and that the park would allow it.

It's time for Day 11 of this trip.

We had some more hours to spent at Europa Park and the we would drive in the direction of Paris with a stop at Walygator Parc.
More on walygator later on (next update) but first some more stuff from Europa Park.

This place was just amazing and i really enjoyed my stay there.

Later on i discovered that i did not get pictures of all the rides there.. so i guess that shows how much fun i had..

anyway.. time for some more pictures.. most of them are from the Euro-Mir..

Woo glad we could just barely fit into the last pic of this TR. I think we just barely missed the TPR Euro Mir takeover by a minute or two arriving after everyone had already gone inside. Thanks Hanno!

It was so cool when our trainload started clapping along with the soundtrack as we went up, up, up the lifthill of Euro Mir.

And then we continued clapping and singing "the Euro Mir song" as we rode on by you, and the others, Hanno.

A great memory of the park.

Thankyou for catching The Party Train!

Can I assume from the commentary that Anaconda at Walygator Parc is still, er, a useful addition?

^^ My opinion is a bit different than Steve's.

During my ride on Anaconda, I felt like I needed a bra, because my body was being jarred that much!

I will NO DOUBT put Anaconda at the BOTTOM of Mitch's poll this year.

Below Bandit, and Grizzly.
