How is it different?

I had the privilege of being able to go to an amusement park on this past Thursday. It is called Europa Park. There are some definite differences between how it was run and how parks are run in the states. First off, the lines. They stop the lines periodically at different points in the waiting so that the ride queues don't back up as far. I don't see why they do it, but they do.

One thing they do that is awesome is to quickly load the ride. I would say that at most, 30 seconds passes from when a train arrives to when it leaves. No corny announcements. Just people getting off and on the ride. The food is better than at most American parks...and cheaper.

It is a nice park although not many huge rides. There was more food stuff than ride stuff it seemed. It did have one huge ride called Silver Star and that was completely awesome. What a thrill.

I had another post coming, but forgot it. It has been pretty busy, but I will try to stop by here as much as possible.
