Movie Park Germany is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2021 with a big surprise for its visitors, a brand new Multi Dimension Coaster from Intamin Amusement Rides.

It will be the first double-launch indoor roller coaster in Europe, Germany's first multi-directional roller coaster and also the first indoor roller coaster in Europe to accelerate backwards.

The new family-friendly roller coaster will include a 360-degree rotating platform, numerous sound and special effects, plus multimedia elements.

Movie Park Germany has started to promote a new attraction opening in 2021, with a teaser video depicting a delivery from the ride manufacturer Intamin Amusement Rides.

Promotional banners have also been erected in front of one of the 'sound stage' buildings at the park, previously occupied by Ice Age Adventure and before that Looney Tunes Adventure. Both of these were water dark rides, using a boat ride system supplied by Intamin.

For the first time ever, Europa-Park in Germany will be opening between the Halloween and Winter seasons.

The park says that the new HALLOWinter season will offer the perfect mix of gruesomely spooky times and wonderful winter magic.

Between 9th - 27th November 2020, witches will wear red pointed hats next to lovingly decorated pumpkin figures.

Parc Astérix is one of the fastest-growing theme parks in Europe, with a 7% increase year-on-year to 2.3 million visitors in 2019. This impressive growth, fuelled by an extended 30th anniversary season, pushed them up four places from 14th to 10th most-visited theme park in Europe.

In 2020 the park has opened Les Quais de Lutèce, their most ambitious hotel yet and the first 4-star hotel at Parc Astérix. A visually arresting masterpiece that transports guests to the Roman city of Lutèce, the predecessor of Paris.

The popular dark ride Pirates in Batavia reopened today at Europa-Park.

At the end of May 2018, Pirates in Batavia was destroyed in a fire at the park. Europa-Park made the decision to rebuild the attraction, taking the opportunity to update it with new technology and story enhancements.

In addition to over 100 new animatronics, 8 'survivors' of the original ride feature in a 'survivors boat' after being restored.
