An incredible theme park in Germany - near to Strasbourg. I would highly recommend it, especially for families. There is really something for everyone, and I prefer it to Disney theme parks! If you go there for a whole day then you can pretty much cover everything you want to do in the theme park.
Why is it so good?
The park is awesome because it's divided up into all different countries in Europe - hence the name. So inside, you can visit Germany, Italy, England, France, Holland, Greece, Russia, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Spain, Austria and Portugal. As well as having plenty of attractions, there are also a lot of shows and season-themed events.
What are the best rides?
The greatest attractions in the park are:
Silver Star
It has a height of 73 metres, a high speed of up to 130 km/h and enormous centrifugal forces of up to 4 g. This attraction is for ages 11+
To experience the cool virtual ride go to:

Then download the video 'Silver Star - Complete ride'. It's fantastic to watch - but still nowhere near as thrilling as the real thing I'm afraid!
Euro-Mir
This ride is so cool because it's on the side of a building and you sit in a ring-shaped seat and then you spin as you move along a track at a speed of 80 km/h! You shouldn't feel too dizzy afterwards, because it lasts for less than 5 minutes. For ages 8+
Euro Sat
This is my favourite ride of the whole theme park. At Halloween, a giant pumpkin shaped balloon covered this attraction! It's very dark, and you move slowly up and up and up a circular tower until you reach the top, and then you fall back through the darkness and experience whizzing past the planets of the universe. So much fun! For ages 6+
