One of the most memorable trips in my life
Most fun filled moments happened at Europa park :)..
Now lets move on how to reach our destination from Frankfurt.
It was a suddenly planned trip for us. So we went by morning 5: 30 ICE train and reached Offenburg station
at 7:30 AM. We took another regional bahn to a station called Ringsheim(reached at around 8: 20 AM). From there, we got into a bus 7231 and arrived at the EUROPA PARK sharply by 8:45 AM.
We didn't expect that it will be crowded, but there was huge number of people waiting at the ticket counter to get the entrance tickets.Luckily on that day there were 20 counters opened and we got the ticket so quickly. By that time it was 9"o clock.
Timings of Europa park : Morning 9 AM to Evening 6 PM(Closing time may get extended in summer and it depends upon the weather too)
Entry ticket per adult is 41 Euros.
We were so excited to enter the park :)
Once we entered, we were searching the luggage lockers and finally we found it.
Luggage lockers are very limited in the park.
As we reached on time, we got one locker for our bag.
There are two types of lockers, big and small.
For smaller lockers you don't have to pay, but for the bigger one you need to pay 4 Euros.
Now our actual trip started :)
We got the park map in the information center.
And one more important thing staffs are very friendly in the park and they explained us very nicely for each and everything.
Our eyes started looking at the map to decide which one to go first.
The park is divided according to the countries in Europe.
We decided to follow the entry path as it is.
As we move on, we have seen so many kids games and we tried a small boat ride there.
It was nice to enter the kids world once again after a long time :)
Then we entered into Russia first.
There was a model of space ship built by Russia and everyone was going inside to see how it was built.
Suddenly our eyes were distracted by a roller coast ride next to that space ship.
By looking at it, I thought Oh my god!How these people are going for it! Without thinking that I am gonna one of those persons :(
My friend compelled me to try that. I was really not in a mind to try that, but finally I agreed and started standing in the queue. Waiting time was 50 mins.
At that time , I understood that this waiting time should be common for all the rides as the crowd was very high.
That waiting time was more horrible for me than the ride because I was looking at the ride continuously and imagining how I gonna manage that ride :(
Finally we reached and I sat on the ride.
I have never imagined myself in the roller coaster in my life, but it happened.
Once it has started, I closed my eyes and saying to myself be confident! It looks very silly but for me it was a great achievement for me finishing a roller coaster ride :)
Once we finished it, I couldn't step out of the ride as each and everything was rolling around me :-P
But somehow I managed to get out of the ride. They have taken photographs when we were on the ride but the clarity was not that good. So we decided not to buy it.
This was the only major attraction in Russia.
We entered Holland next but there was not much to see there.
We decided to move to the Scandinavia..
In Scandinavia, there were many water games.
Actually I am just crazy about water games.
I can even manage a roller coaster if it reaches water finally.
We have seen one type of ride(which is also scary for me :) ) but in the end it hits water with a splash.
So I took a brave decision to go ahead :)
There also we stood for one hour.
But we didn't feel the waiting time here as they have built like a cave and there were some activities going on for the queue.
Finally we entered the ride and the experience was awesome :)
When the ride enters the swimming pool, we got completely wet :)
I thoroughly enjoyed it...
After that it was lunch time for us.
We have seen many fish shops, decided to buy one plate of salmon fish fry.
First time I tried salmon fish and it was tasting really good.
But it was not enough for our tummy.
We went to some other shop and bought pommes,chicken nuggets and veg salad.
It was not tasting that good but ok for us to fill our stomach.
We moved on to Greece now.
There we have seen one more roller coaster which hits the water two times.. I wanted to try that but we decided to try it later on as we had lunch few minutes back.
We were thinking to go some where to sit and relax.
Then we have seen a direction map to go to Magic Cinema 4D in France.
Entered France now and decided to watch the 4D movie.
We got the spectacles from them and enjoyed 4D movie for half an hour.
It was really good.
Then we went to one more ride there which takes you to the top to see the Europa park view from the top.
It was a very nice view and we just marked which are all the places to visit next as the top view was very clear covering all the rides in the park.
Next we tried one more small roller coaster ride in France..
I was very confident this time because already I tried two major scary rides :)
I didn't close my eyes at all during the entire ride and this is the first roller coaster ride which I enjoyed without any fear :).
Later on I realized I was bit over confident when I tried the roller coaster which hits the water two times. :)
Gosh! It was really scary.. Usually I scream in the roller coaster ride but this time I couldn't scream at all as the voice was not coming out in fear :).. I felt like I am flying in air without any support :)
After it has reached the water, I just realized I am safe :)
Ok... that's it.. now we should not try any more roller coast rides I decided myself :)
By the time time it was around 6 PM.
After that we took a train ride called MONORAIL which covers the enter park...
We sat on that and relaxed ourselves by viewing the beautiful EUROPA PARK.
People in the park were enjoying a lot and by seeing that itself we felt so happy.
We realized we have to take the bus at 7 PM.
We took the luggage from the locker and we left the Europa park.
Only our body moved from the Europa park but our thoughts were still roaming around the beautiful moments we spent in the EUROPA PARK for the entire day.
We took the bus at 7:05 PM from Europa park to Ringsheim station.
Took a train from there to Offenburg(8:00 PM).
ICE train from offenburg to Frankfurt was at 9:30 PM.
We were roaming around Offenburg to have dinner there.
The shops were closed at 7 PM itself .. The roads were rellay empty and hardly we have seen people there.
We went to a pizzeria there and had vegetarian pizza.
I have never tasted such a delicious pizza in my life. :)
We walked again to the station to get the ICE train,
It was on time and we got into the train.
We were so tired and started sleeping..
We reached Frankfurt at 11:25 PM.
Reached home with heart full of joy and happiness.
Must visit Europa park again :)
