History Ride / EuropaPark

* PetGetsTheKeys: In "Piraten in Batavia", there's the same scene as in ''Ride/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', with several prisoners trying to coax a pet into bringing them the keys to their cell. Only it's set in the Dutch Indies, and the pet is a monkey instead of a dog.

* DarkestAfrica: The park has its own equivalent of the Ride/JungleCruise.

* {{Pirate}}: The park's pirates-themed dark ride, "Piraten in Batavia", is notable for not featuring the usual [[Ride/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Caribbean]] setting. It instead takes place in the FarEast, during the 17th century Dutch colonization of UsefulNotes/{{Indonesia}}, with a pirate raid on Jakarta (known as Batavia until 1942). A German-speaking PirateParrot animatronic can be seen greeting guests atop a street lamp at the ride's entrance.

Europa-Park is the largest ThemePark resort in UsefulNotes/{{Germany}}, and the second most popular in UsefulNotes/{{Europe}} just behind [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland Paris]] and before Ride/{{Efteling}}. It is located near the town of Rust, in Baden-Württemberg (Southwestern Germany), near Freiburg and the French city of Strasbourg.

* TheThemeParkVersion: Each nation featured in the park is represented through recognizable clichés, cultural traits and landmarks, such as [[YodelLand chocolate shops and Yodel music in an alpine-looking village]] for Switzerland, Santorini Island-styled houses, [[AncientGreece a temple of Poseidon]] and [[UsefulNotes/TheTrojanWar the Trojan horse]] for Greece, fish restaurants and a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stave_church stave Church]] for Scandinavia, Delftware and [[LandOfTulipsAndWindmills windmills]] for the Netherlands, a statue of UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc for France, [[Myth/RussianMythologyAndTales winter-related fairy tales]] and UsefulNotes/TheSpaceRace for Russia, and so on and so forth.

* AncientGreece: The "Poseidon" and "Pegasus" rollercoasters' theme, along with "The Curse of Cassandra". The "Poseidon" queue area is decorated like an ancient Greek city, and the ride's starting area is inside a temple.

* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: Since summer 2018, the formerly space-themed [=EuroSat=] has been revamped to be about... French cancan.

* GayParee: The French district has Parisian style restaurants, a statue of UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc and [="EuroSat"=] is now themed after French cancan. Somewhat {{subverted|trope}} in that there aren't only Parisian clichés, there's also a restaurant that makes [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarte_flamb%C3%A9e Flammekueche]] (a dish from Alsace, the neighboring French region) and the dinosaurs breeder of the revamped "Universe of Energy" is an old Alsatian woman.

The park opened in [[LongRunners 1975]], and it is now home to 13 very high capacity roller coasters and can accommodate up to approximately 60,000 guests per day.

* JumpScare: Used aplenty in the HauntedHouse. The giant stone head of a Balinese mythological monster that marks the start of the "Pirates in Batavia" dark ride also counts, since it appears in the dark out of nowhere with a thunder sound.

* WorldTree: The "Wodan" rollercoaster is themed after Myth/NorseMythology. Guests enter the ride through the roots of Yggdrasil.

* {{Lilliputians}}: An area and dark ride/rollercoaster are themed after ''Film/ArthurAndTheInvisibles''. There are oversized plants and BigCreepyCrawlies inside so visitors of the park feel like they are the size of the book/film series' lilliputian protagonists.
