Europa-Park: Roland Mack reveals his secret favorites!

Rust, Deutschland - Who would have thought that a amusement park could celebrate half a century? The Europa-Park in Rust, which was founded in 1975 by Roland Mack and his father Franz, proudly looks back on 50 years of successful entertainment. With more than 100 attractions and 14 exciting roller coasters, it is not only the largest amusement park in Germany, but is also one of the most visited worldwide. This is also confirmed by the US magazine "Amusement Today", which distinguished the Europa-Park as the best amusement park in the world-and not for the first time.

On September 7, 2024, the Europa-Park was honored for the ninth time with the "Golden Ticket Award". The park prevailed against big names like Walt Disney World and the Universal Studios. The new roller coaster "Voltron Nevera Powered by Rimac", which was able to obtain the title "Best New Right Railway in the World", was particularly highlighted. "Voltron Nevera" offers innovative driving elements, including the steepest launch in the world with 105 degrees and a gripping storytelling that inspires visitors.

personal insights from Roland Mack

The active presence of Roland Mack is particularly gratifying for the fans, who continues to personally test new rides and is also on the road itself in the attractions. "I enjoy trying the latest roller coasters to get my head free," reports the 75-year-old. This also includes a round on the "Voltron Nevera". His favorite attractions fluctuate depending on the season - in summer he is a big fan of the water attraction "Poseidon", while in winter he likes to get into the "pirates in Batavia" or on the "flight over Europe" in Voletarium.

Roland Mack emphasizes that the Europa-Park is not an anonymous company. "We are a family that leads the park," explains the owner. Occasional encounters with family members of the Macks in the park are not uncommon. When the temperatures rise, he likes to treat himself to a cappuccino in the courtyard of the Colosseo to enjoy the pleasant ambience to the fullest.

The mixture of traditional rides, digital content and first -class gastronomy create an unforgettable experience. The reconstruction of the Austria subject area, which includes the "Alpenexpress Enzian" and the "Tyrolean Wildwater Railway", was also awarded the "gymnastics styles Award".

Finally, you can say that the Europa-Park is not just a place that promises adventure and fun, but also combines a piece of German leisure story. Roland and Michael Mack, managing partner, are aware of this: "We are pleased that our innovative strength will find international recognition," says Michael Mack. So the Europa-Park looks with pride and anticipation for the next 50 years.
