Seasons
Season 1
The start of the anniversary year at Europa-Park means, above all, tinkering, renovating, and renovating in every nook and cranny before the season opens in March. Ed Euromaus, the meter-high landmark and mascot that greets park visitors, is getting quite old and is to be repainted by painter Daniel Klausmann. CEO Roland Mack was initially unhappy with the idea. But now he's excited to see the results. The Rulantica water park features a new light show, in which the diminutive artist Hammou Bensalah enchants the audience with soap bubbles. Roland Mack's infamous inspection tours through the park are not without consequences and provide insights into what makes the founder of Germany's largest theme park tick. So, there's a lot of construction work, and the opening of the anniversary year is inexorably approaching. But amidst inspections, creative decisions, and extreme time pressure, the special spirit of the large Europa-Park team is also evident.
