  • Water Coaster "Atlantica" Supersplash
    New Attraction: Water Coaster "Atlantica" SuperSplash Off to new shores: Since March 19th 2005, the visitors of Europa-Park can look forward to a brand-new attraction. "Atlantica? SuperSplash is the name of the new water coaster which set sail for its maiden voyage at the beginning of Europa-Park's 30th anniversary season. A world novelty is one track section with turns and a backwards ride, which was never realised with boats of this size before. The new water coaster was designed by Mack Rides in Waldkirch, it is the first component of the Portuguese themed area, which will be completed in 2006. According to its history as a traditional seafaring nation, the main theming of Portugal is the era of the great Portuguese seafarers and discoverers in the 15th and 16th century, when it was a challenge to conquer the oceans. Go aboard and experience an adventurous ride through the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean! A 16th century Portuguese fortress is the center of the area around the "Atlantica? SuperSplash. Its interior is dominated by "Henry the Seafarer?, who points at the endless Atlantic Ocean in order to challenge everybody to set sail and discover the unnknown. Because once the visitors leave the strong walls of the protective fortress, they are put to a severe test? With a height of 32 meters, the "Atlantica? SuperSplash is Europa-Park's second-highest attraction (the "Silver Star? has a height of 73 meters). In five large boats, each one for up to 16 persons, the visitors are pulled up to the highest point of the water coaster.

  • 3. Guida Europa Park
    GUIDA TURISTICA IN BREVE EUROPARK INGRESSO GERMANIA: inaugurata nel 1997, quest'area ha sostituito il vecchio ingresso di Europa Park. Qui gli Ospiti trovano la stazione di partenza della monorotaia che permette di godere della vista di quasi tutto il parco divertimenti, i giardini del Castello di Balthasar e alcune attrazioni per bambini. ITALIA: inaugurata nel 1982, ospita le dark rides Ghost Castle (a tema horror) e Piccolo Mondo (a tema Italia), il Teatro dell'Arte, lo show "Carnevale di Venezia", l'Open Air Stage dove si susseguono spettacoli di acrobati o giocolieri e l'attrazione Volo da Vinci. Ghost Castle: attrazione al buio nella quale i visitatori compiono un viaggio attraverso stanze infestate da fantasmi e scenografie ispirate al mondo del horror. Simile a quella dei parchi Disney, questa attrazione è adatta a tutta la famiglia ma alcune scene possono impressionare i più piccoli. FRANCIA: dominato dalla sagoma della sfera metallica del roller coaster indoor Eurosat, la quale si ispira alla struttura di Spaceship Earth del parco Disney EPCOT situato ad Orlando in Florida, il quartiere francese si sviluppa attorno ad uno specchio d'acqua. Nei pressi di Eurosat troviamo: Universe of Energy - Dinosaur Ride, il cinema 4D con effetti speciali in sala, la torre panoramica girevole Euro-Tower ed altre attrazioni minori. L'area ospita anche la stazione di Silver Star, il secondo Hyper Coaster più alto d'Europa (73 metri). Universe of Energy Dinosaur ride: un'attrazione dedicata al mondo dei dinosauri nella quale si compie un viaggio nella foresta dell'epoca jurassica, a stretto contatto con gli animali preistorici.

Every May, Canobie sponsors a PHYSICS DAY for high school students. This educational experience is designed for older students who test and apply scientific theories on our major thrill rides. The INTERACTIVE CLASSROOM is also a day dedicated to teaching how principles of science are applied to amusement park rides. This day is geared towards the middle school grades. Both days feature demonstrations and exhibits in addition to the lessons learned on the rides. Still, requests for additional learning guides beyond those previously produced continued. It is to this need that Canobie Lake Park Corporation proudly responds with “ELEMENTS OF FUN!” Your comments are welcomed, since this program’s raison d’être is the educational enrichment of your students. Understanding teachers’ need for a formal focus, and using the same to create examples, activities, extensions, problems and enrichment samples, educators from around New England have listed in general terms both the desired learnings and minimum essentials for this curriculum as an appendix to this document.

  • “LITTLE LOVE”, Release October 30 Swedish Singer/Songwriter Jessica
    JESSICA FALK - “LITTLE LOVE”, release October 30 Swedish singer/songwriter Jessica Falk and Nashville based singer/songwriter Jenn Bostic originally met in a very special and unique way. You see, the girls both do a bit of the same thing. They both write songs and tell their respective stories in the lyrics of their songs with the goal of helping other people. Jenn is best known for her song “Jealous Of the Angels” which reached # 1 in the United Kingdom’s “Singer-Songwriter” charts. Jessica happened to be attending a concert in Nashville where Jenn was appearing at the Grand Ole Opry. Afterwards Jessica, who was very impressed by Jenn’s music, wrote to her to ask if she would like to try writing some songs together. This collaboration resulted in Jessica’s previous single “Make a Change” and her latest single ”Little Love" which is due to be released on Friday, October 30. Listening link "Little Love": https://promo.theorchard.com/XmpUKdVyJ9sKn46A3QkB As an artist and songwriter in pop and country, she has had the opportunity to work with many top level musicians and producers such as: Charlie McCoy (Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash), Pat Buchanan (Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Billy Ray Cyrus), Chad Cromwell (Neil Young, Diana Krall, Mark Knopfler), Greg Morrow (Carrie Underwood, Bob Seger, Kenny Rogers). Jessica also has a long standing history with the producer/mixer of “Little Love”, Scott Baggett (who is known for past work with Alison Krauss, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy and many #1 writers in Nashville). As a trained music teacher, Jessica has also had the opportunity to work as a music therapist which she finds to be very rewarding.
