The Eurosat dark coaster will undergo extensive theming work to become the Moulin Rouge |
|
Mack Rides has announced a new collaboration with the Moulin Rouge, that will see the Eurosat coaster at Europa-Park, transformed into the iconic Paris theatre.
The Eurosat dark coaster, which is located in the futuristic sphere in the France-themed area of the park, will be renamed the Eurosat - CanCan coaster, and will undergo a considerable refurbishment, including a tech update and extensive theming work, before reopening this summer.
The new roller coaster will take visitors back in time to 19th century Paris. It will offer a significantly improved rider experience, due to new cabling and a new track, that will measure approximately 900 m (2952 ft) and have a very similar layout to the original, to commemorate the ride’s inventor, Franz Mack. The ride’s theming will also be completely redesigned to become a true-to-life replica of the Moulin Rouge.
In addition Mack Media, the media arm of Mack Rides, has developed a new VR experience, Eurosat Coastiality, that will be located at the back of the Eurosat sphere, making it the first ride to host two attractions within the same space. A second station with a shift track and separate trains will be integrated into the roller coaster, to make space for the experience.
There will also be a Parisian curiosity shop, Madame Freudenreich Curiosités, at the entrance of the ride, where guests can shop for souvenirs and curios.

Small Footprint, Big Significance: Studio City Water Park |
|
Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must
diversify its tourism scene to attract new crowds. With the ambition of becoming the
leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
