Visited from the UK for the preopening Sunday and my god since the park closed in Jan they have made phenomenal progress
Looks like the front half of the Minetrain is ready to go just waiting for the rockwork & slides/equipment to be finished in the main Helix

Its just so pretty, pics are from Jan & March comparing from same location

Currently watching the live conference looks like the Austrian area will reopen 14th May, less that 11 months after it burnt down

Not sure about the bright blue on the trains but everything else looks marvellous. I remember the blue in the concept art being a bit darker but I imagine this will fade a little in time so it looks like the old trains a bit more. I can't wait to see what part of the park they burn down in 2026 because they're really showing off now!

Only Europa park can rebuild an entire area including 2 big rides in less than 1 year. I'll be sure to visit this year.

Alpen Express has completed its first slow speed test yesterday & is now testing at full speed!

*also only Europa can burn down multiple rides in the space of a few years by ignoring fire safety recommendations to save money

Tiroler has been testing with water going around today!

 

[VonRolland]

Both Flume & Alpen both testting with boats & trains going around additionally the old Alpen train is being reused in the ride area as theming, such a nice nod to the past Love it!

With Voltron down Alpenexpress has opened for season-pass holders, here is a POV.

 

[Efteldingus]

How Europa Park has turned a wrecked area into something this beautiful in 10 months is beyond me

 

[VonRolland]

I'd also like to say how amazed I was when i heard they opened this area 3 weeks early to passholders because Voltron was closed, so impressed

 

[CSLKennyNI]

Was due to soft open tomorrow as a surprise for Voltron opening weekend; so they simply pulled it a day forwards to fill in for Voltron.

Tiroler and Enzian threw open today after what appeared to be a 2 1/2 hour delay from park open, at least going by queue-times.com.
