Opening of waterpark „Rulantica“ in Europapark Rust

As announced by the overall project manager Charles R. Botta since the beginning of the year, the new water park "Rulantica" as part of the Europapark in Rust was opened punctually on 28 November at 11:00 am. With an surface of approx. 40,000 m², "Rulantica" is one of the largest water parks in Germany and offers a panoramic view of the Black Forest. "Rulantica" is supposed to be a fictitious island in the North Sea, the story of which is told in the 45-minute musical of the same name. A total of 25 attractions and 17 slides are now on offer in the "Rulantica".

After 26 months of construction, the largest single investment (180 million € construction costs) in the history of Europa-Park was completed. Over the past two years, the three hectare water world has been the largest private construction site in Baden-Württemberg.

The first thoughts about the construction of a water park had been there for over 20 years, as Roland Mack explained in his speech. The new, integrated wave pool is a further part of this attraction and can assert itself as the largest one in Germany. In addition, the water park is connected to the hotel "Krønasår", which was built at the same time. Up to 5000 visitors are expected daily throughout the year. A further extension is also planned, which should increase the number of visitors to up to 8,000 a day. With the construction of the new hotel and swimming pool, 300 new jobs have been created.

In his speech, Baden-Württemberg's Minister of Justice Guido Wolf praised the good cooperation between the builders and emphasized that it is quite possible to complete construction projects on schedule in Germany.
