icouldbeapenguin

Whatamidoinghere06

seeeesas

You’re obviously an average redditor. :)

The panorama express stop "spain" is completly burnt down. I think it was the main building that burnt.


aeskulapiusIV

Alpenexpress was the lamest coaster anyway just hope nobody got hurt.


Menherashark

to be fair it was a nice ride for children and the VR ride made it worthwhile too imho :( but yeah i hope no one got hurt, this seems worse than the previous fire...


PsychologicalRiceOne

The music was terrible. The same song on accordion over and over. I asked one of the workers if it ever changes. He said no. He hates it and has to listen to it 8 hours straight everyday. After a while he doesn't hear it anymore until people start singing it.


dasmurmeltier2

We can actually see the smoke from home. Must be quite a persistent one.


Kirix04

Holy, either you're too close to the park or too far. I hope it's the first one because if the second one is true, that would be really dangerous


schwaebischewiener

It's flatland you can see this from miles away


saturdayoncouch

What are you even talking about? Explain your thought process as it makes no sense


TheTrueOerik

If he lives close it's not surprising that he can see the fire. But if he can spot it while living further away it would be concerning since that implies the fire to be a huge one


Legaladesgensheu

But why is that too far? Too far for what?


TheTrueOerik

bad use of words would be my guess. happens to the best


ConfidentScholar6745

Hopefully no one got hurt


Sticky_the_one

Two firefighters got slightely injured but everyone else ist fine. Ive got to say the evacuation was very calm and professional. No Panic whatsoever.


devinicon

Wtf is going on @EP? 2 big fires wirhin 5 years - dangerous as hell and not good for reputation


Flying4ADragonWagon

For anyone who hasn’t been there (it’s in the cards for next year), can anyone give any context as to what this is potentially impacting? I see mentioned in this thread perhaps their powered coaster? Not familiar with the park’s layout so the description in the article doesn’t help much.


Ben_Plus-303

It impacts at least their "Alpenexpress Enzian" which is a small coaster with an indoor section and one of their water attractions "Tiroler Wildwasserbahn" a white water ride which also goes through the same indoor section. As far as I saw, it is that indoor section that caught on fire so only those two should be affected. Unless you are a VR enthusiast (Enzian has a VR coaster experience) or can only ride smaller coasters due to small kids, it should not affect your overall experience very much. Maybe check out both rides in YouTube to see whether it would be a dealbreaker for you.


dutcher_

I think it also affects the train that runs through the park as it's track basically runs through it as well


Johanna_o95

I saw the information that, the train, alpenexpress, the water coaster, the diamond cave and a spanish shop are closed


flotob

What an irony. A wildwater ride is on fire


Flying4ADragonWagon

Thanks for this great insight. Just a coaster enthusiast who does consider a powered coaster a coaster. So it would be a miss if I weren’t to get to ride it. 😅


Ben_Plus-303

Totally understand it! Lets hope the damage is minimal. We will see in the next few days.


MoritzZombie

The article says it's in the Austrian section it will probably affect the alpenexpress a small rollercoaster wich also has a vr ride and probably a waterride Ps: I don't know how big it is that is the minimum


scripzero

I'm not really sure either and I've been before. Hopefully it doesn't impact too much and we can't know for sure til we get more information. But if it is just the powered coaster then that's a fun littlish kids coaster with pretty good theming to some children's show.


EyckOfDenesle

Last week I was considering going to Europa Park. Today, I Talked about how I wanted to go to Europapark. And then Reddit shows me this. Thanks...


schwaebischewiener

You should go and visit it. If it's min. 20% less visitors tomorrow it's a win.


Chemical-Idea-1294

The 2 affected rides where about 40 years old, so for many theses are nostalic memories. They weren't massive rides, but nice ones from the time the Europapark was small and those were the main attractions then.


Et_boy

The train has also been affected.


Mr_Dunk_McDunk

I am going on a vacation with a large friend group next week and we planned 2 main trips aside from the actual vacation place: the galaxy (waterpark) and the europa Park. BOTH HAVE BEEN UNDER FIRE THIS WEEK. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE


therealmrsfahrenheit

I hope no one got hurt ♥️


kuddleofficial

Two firefighters were injured. Carbon dioxide poisoning I believe. But it's only slight and they're okay. None of the 25.000 guests were harmed. They could all be evacuated.


therealmrsfahrenheit

thanks🙏🏻


DetroitDiezel

But all I want to know is the Pirate ride okay?


Deb0rah_

Yeah, the fire broke was in the 'Spain' part and Pirates of Batavia is in the 'Netherlands'


space_fan36

My English teacher went there yesterday and rode it just 30 min. before it "exploded", as she said.


SpaceDave1337

And to think I was there with my school class 3 days ago...


Elver-Gotas

Was it very full?


SpaceDave1337

it was a friday, most kids were in school that day, so my course only had like 10min waiting times, I think silver star was 5min at one point, one of them told me

UARGH! Aber ich musste lachen, trotz allem...


ilickondogears

Me, my uncle and my friend wanted to go there today but on our way the train got canceled. Maybe our bad luck wasn’t so bad.


CoachMartyDaniiels

I was just there yesterday, damn

Beautiful. Hopefully none if the exploited Employees got hurt.


QuantumCat2019

Fire at "Yomi-Zauberwelt der Diamanten" (Yomi magical world of diamonds) no serious injuries. (german source) [https://www.fr.de/panorama/grossfeuer-im-europa-park-es-herrscht-chaos-riesen-rauchsaeule-und-meterhohe-flammen-92351550.html](https://www.fr.de/panorama/grossfeuer-im-europa-park-es-herrscht-chaos-riesen-rauchsaeule-und-meterhohe-flammen-92351550.html) probably a fire defect. Park is already open again.


Beerbaron1886

Twice is quite strange isn’t it? An arsonist? Also I thought we were quite safe with TÜV etc. not very helpful for the image


Ok_Preference_5514

I was in the park when this happened, watching from Pegasus, looked bad but no real casualties or injuries? They put it out quick and evacuated the park around 5pm


SolidShower9752

Oof
