Europa-Park


On Saturday, Nasha, Karly, and I jumped on a train and headed to Europa-Park!  If you don’t know, this is a huge Amusement Park in the southern part of Germany.  Inside you can visit different countries in Europe such as France and Greece!  After a long 6 hour train ride, we reached the park around noon.  You should have seen us…we were acting like kids as we entered the park!  We were so excited!  Once inside, we only had 6 hours to see the entire park!  We had a battle plan to hit all of the roller coasters and then go through and look at the other stuff if we had time. 

The first ride we came to was a roller coaster in the dark!  It was in this giant silver ball and during the ride you saw stars and lights…it was like you were traveling through the solar system!  After that ride, we went to a bigger roller coaster that was outside…it was fun!  Then we got one one that took you up inside these towers and and then when you got the top the coaster started and while going around all the turns and hills, you were spinning around!  So half the time you would be going backwards! And the other half of the time I was in the very front! Ahhh!  Anyway, it was pretty small coaster. 

After this one, my friends wanted to go on Blue Fire!  This was the one ride I said I didn’t want to go on because it went upside down.  They were like come on and I really didn’t want to wait for them to get off because we didn’t have a lot of time in the park and that wouldn’t have been any fun!  So I jumped in line.  The entire wait I was freaking out and by the time we got to the front of the line my eyes were starting to tear up…I was so scared!  We sat down and the ride and before it even shot us out, I was crying!  And when it started moving I was screaming!  I had my eyes closed and screamed the entire time!  I had no clue where in the coaster we were and I couldn’t make myself open my eyes, I was asking Nasha if we had just went around the upside down part and I guess she didn’t hear me otherwise I didn’t realize her answer.  But there was one other upside down part…not a big loop, but a little spiral thing.  And she was yelling at me to open my eyes!  I finally opened them right at we were coming up on the spiral and I shut them again really fast and started screaming again!  That was the worst part of it!  Worse than the big loop!  Finally the ride was over…and it wasn’t actually as bad as I thought it would be, but I was shaking for like ever after we got off! 
Then we grabbed a quick drink at one of the snack stands and jumped in line for the new big wooden roller coaster.  This was the longest line we had to wait in; it took about 30 minutes. We got so lucky that there were barely any lines and it was great weather all day! After the disappointment of what was supposed to be this big bad coaster, we decided to grab some food!  We headed to Greece to get some Gyros and Water!  After eating, we went up into the tower to look over the whole park.  We realized there was a coaster we hadn’t gone on; we thought it was a water ride, but from the tower we realized it wasn’t.  But by the time we got to the entrance, we decided the line was too long and we wouldn’t have time to go on before we needed to catch the bus. 

So we decided to go grab some of the delicious, cheap cotton candy we had passed earlier and then head out to the bus to beat some of the crowd out of the park.  We had so much fun, even though I got sunburned!  Then we had a long 6 hour train ride back home.  On the ride home, Nasha was talking about Blue Fire and she was like “I looked over and you were crying…like seriously crying and I was like I don’t know if I should be sad too or keep having fun!” This made me like roll of the floor laughing…my stomach was hurting so hard from laughing!  Our train was also late and so we ended up having to take a bus back from Wiesbaden because we missed the last train…which made us get home even later because the busses take longer!  Finally we got home, I took a quick shower and jumped in bed because I had to be up early!
