With the Alpine Express “Enzian” and the Tirol Log Flume, two traditional classics return to the Austrian themed area of Europa-Park. The family rollercoaster and the log boat ride wind through the Magical Valley of Diamonds and bring fun for all ages. The Yomi Adventure Trail is completely new, an adventurous high-altitude trail with suspension bridges, climbing elements and two slides that take guests up the rocks that reach up to twelve meters (39 feet) in height to the Gemstone Grotto. Alpenexpress Coastiality also has a new VR adventure.
A returning classic: The Alpine Express “Enzian”
With the completely renovated Alpine Express “Enzian,” guests can fly through the Austrian mountains as the family friendly rollercoaster rushes past rock formations and thundering waterfalls at up to 45 km/h (28 mph), through the Magical Valley of Diamonds. With a lift for wheelchair users, the attraction also now features barrier-free accessibility.
In the new virtual reality adventure Fina & the Yomis – Magical World of Diamonds VR, visitors experience a virtual carriage ride on the Alpenexpress Coastiality. What begins as a quiet journey, however, quickly develops into an exciting swoop through a magical landscape of caves that are reminiscent of the former Yomi’s Magical World of Diamonds. There are also six additional VR adventures to choose from.
Refreshing ride in a tree trunk: The Tirol Log Flume
First opened in 1978, the Tirol Log Flume continues to delight all future visitors, as passengers sail over mountains and valleys in a hollowed-out tree trunk. The journey begins with climbing a steep rock. Things go rapidly downhill into the Magical Valley of Diamonds, where there’s also a Yomi or two to spot. The small, green mythical creatures were thought up by MACK Magic and have been hidden throughout the Austrian themed area and in the Enchanted Forest Cinema.
Awaken the spirit of discovery: The Yomi Adventure Trail
The Yomi Adventure Trail is completely new for 2024. The circular route is filled with suspension bridges, climbing elements and slides that take guests through the Magical Valley of Diamonds across rocks up to twelve meters high. In addition to an all-round view, there are also one or two optional challenges waiting for adventurers of all ages.
Memorabilia and souvenirs: The Gemstone Grotto
In the newly-designed, mysterious Gemstone Grotto, there are also plenty of surprises all about the Yomi Village. Visitors explore the home of the mythical creatures, who use their magical nature powers for lots of practical jokes. The shop offers a large selection of jewelry, as well as sparkling gemstones and crystals.
