Best Rides in Southern Germany?

I'm going there in 2015 possibly and I need to know the best rides. So what are your favorite rides? Btw it will be my first time in a foreign country (I live in the USA)
 
Probably a better question: what are the best parks in the region?

From the ones I have been to:
-Europapark
-Tripsdrill
-Holiday Park (getting better every year, + one AWESOME coaster)


Even the smaller parks in Germany are usually nice, not expensive, beautifull and cosy (Is that a right word to use? I hope everyone understands what I mean :D)
 
What do you mean by Southern Germany? Do you mean Bavaria, B-W or broader?
In Bavaria Skyline park is your best choice, but in broader means Europa Park is just a must-do when in the region
 
Yeah, realistically, if you're going to Germany purely for parks, then the only major one in the south of the country is Europa. Sure, there are plenty of smaller parks as well, but I'm guessing that you'll want to hit the more major parks and won't have a great deal of time anyway.

Holiday Park has Expedition GeForce, which is a brilliant coaster, and Tripsdrill is nice, plus they're getting a fairly major new coaster now. Skyline Park is ok, but there's nothing special there really. Then there's Legoland and Bayern Park, which are basically kids' parks.

Realistically though, while there are some excellent coasters dotted around the country, the parks you should be seriously considering hitting in Germany are:

Europa Park
Phantasialand
Heide Park
Hansa Park
Movie Park (??? haven't been myself, and reviews of the place aren't great, but close to Phantasia and one of Germany's more "major" parks)

The only one out of those that is in the south of the country is Europa.
 
IMO Moviepark isn't a great park. The only descent coaster is a small indoor one and they have only 3 rides I like to do more than once on a visit. Mp express, Bandit, High Fall, even the Dora flume are all pain machines...
 
^The reason I mentioned it is that it's close to Phantasialand, so would be an easy park to do. None of the other big parks in Germany are anywhere near each other really.
 
Thanks for the replys! I'm probally going to end up staying for 2 weeks in Germany, so we will might be able to hit some Northern parks and a couple smaller parks. If we do hit the Northern parks, which we probally will, I've decided Heide Park and Phantasialand are must, and Hansa Park and Belantis Theme Park are a MAYBE. Thanks for the advice, you guys mean a lot making my trip better. :) Oh yeah ansd between that time we're going to Dollywood, Walt Disney World, Fun Spot Orlando, Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and Six Flags Over Texas. So i'll have plenty to do between that time btw.

Even though I've never been there, I probally wouldn't consider Hansa Park a major park. The only special rides are Fluch and Nessie.

^ Yet you're planning to go to Belantis.

Whatever.

I said it was a maybe. Anyway I've decided not to go to Belantis, it was just a small idea.


Heide Park, Phantasialand, Holiday Park, Erlebnispark Tripsdrill, Europa Park are the for sure parks.
 
^^ Also the reason why I was even having an idea of Belantis is because Hansa is like right by Denmark, and I'm not going THAT far up north. While Belantis is just kinda in the central part. I'm not going to Belantis anymore.
 
^To be fair though, Hansa Park and Heide Park really aren't that far apart, you're looking at maximum a couple of hour's driving and it really is a great park.

So I take it you'll either start with Europa Park or Heide Park and either work your way up or down then? If you start at Heide Park and are flying into Hamburg Lubeck airport, you may as well pop in to Hansa, because it's only like, half and hour away and then you just travel downwards with the rest of your trip, easy.

I'm going by train, so we'll see about that. Also I live in the USA so I can't drive there from like a think they have a bridge from London to Europe so it's easy for you guys but I have to fly and then take a train throughout the country. But still, we'll see about that. (A little bit of extra information I've kinda got a small idea of going to Denmark and Sweden a few years after the Germany trip, but that dosn't matter right now.)
 
^ Yeah, the bridge from the UK to mainland Europe makes travelling a lot easier.
 
Pahahhahahahaaaaaaa <3

Why ask for help if you're just going to shoot down everything everyone says, especially people who have done these trips before and know what they're talking about.

I find the tolls on the UK - Europe bridge too much so I usually fly too, so no different from you, but I'm telling you doing a trip this big just with public transport in a land that doesn't speak your brand of English is going to be tough.
 
I personally won't be satisfied until the Japanese build us a Pacific bridge so we can drive over there too.
