Day 2: Europa Park and Hotel Colosseo

Click Here For The Parks Website

On day 2 we were scheduled to do 2 parks in the Black forest region. This was changed due to an unfortunate incident at the beginning of the day where the coach ran over a cyclist, and we had to wait for 4 hours at Stuttgart police station for a new driver.
I'd like to take this chance to wish the victim of the accident a speedy recovery, and to extend our thanks to the Stuttgart police for their handling of the situation, and the hospitality they extended to us, and my thanks to Justin and to the Coaster Club trips team for there handling of these difficult circumstances.

The report now continues from a short distance from Europa Park.

I think we can just about see Silver Star in the distance.

There it is, along with the observation tower, and Euro Sat,
or as it's coming to Halloween, Euro Pumpkin.

Here's the coach arriving at the amazing Hotel Colosseo.

Swish!

All the hotel, even the rooms are themed. We couldn't resist the bunk beds.

They put up the Halloween decorations early.

The first ride we tried was the Feria Swing. It wasn't long ago I was saying how you never saw Matterhorn rides at parks. Here I finally find one, all be it one almost themed beyond recognition.

Not even Disney theme their toilets this extravagantly.

The Halloween fountain on the first day at Europa. On the second day a load of pumpkins had magically appeared to decorate this fountain further.

More Pumpkin decorations, I'm not quite sure why they've got Ostriches there.
