) Coaster Kings has posted a new update from Europa Park this week where they sneak a peek at not only the construction progress on the Rulantica indoor waterpark project, the awesome winter holiday decor on display inside Europa Park itself. During a ride on the seasonal ferris wheel they set up in the park every winter they also managed to get pictures of the repair and rebuilding taking place after the summer fire to rebuild and replace Piraten in Batvia and the Norway/Scandinavian area of the park.
From the look of things the former Piraten site has been cleared and is undergoing site-prep and ground utility work, while the rest of the focus right now appears on getting the Scandinavian area rebuilt first, which makes sense as it serves as a primary access path over to the Blue Fire Megacoaster section of the park. If this can be reopened in 2019, then hopefully a [COLOR=#1B8EDE !important]new version[/COLOR] of the Piraten dark flume ride can be ready for 2020, though the park has yet to announce any kind of formal timeline, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
