Europa-Park
Europa-Park is a theme park and the largest in Germany, and the second most popular theme park resort in Europe, following Disneyland Paris.
Europa-Park is located in Rust, in south-western Germany, between Freiburg and Strasbourg, France.
The park is home to 13 roller coasters, the oldest being Alpenexpress Enzian, a powered coaster that speeds through a diamond mine, and the newest coaster being the Ba-a-a Express, a small kiddie roller coaster. Europa-Park has very high capacity roller coasters and attractions meaning the park can accommodate up to approx. 60,000 guests per day. It counted just over 5.5 million visitors in 2015, generating an estimated total revenue of EUR 30 million per year.
Europa-Park is run by the Mack family, which have produced vehicles since 1780, circus wagons since 1880 and rollercoasters since 1921. Franz Mack (1921–2010) in 1958 took over the family firm, Mack GmbH & Co (now Mack Rides), together with his brothers. Together with his son Roland (b. 1949) he visited the USA in 1972 and was inspired to open a theme park in Germany, as an exhibition site for his company's products.
At first the park was planned to be located in Breisach. It was named "Europa-Park" after Breisach's nearby Europaweiher, a small artificial lake which commemorates a historical pilot poll in Breisach held in 1950, in which 95.6% of voters were in favour of European unification. The Breisach site was deemed unsuitable because of flooding hazard, and the project was moved some 30 km further north, where the Macks bought the park of the historical Balthasar castle in Rust. The park opened in 1975 with an area of 16 hectares. It counted 250,000 visitors in the first year, 700,000 in the second, passing the million mark in 1978.

One more posting from my foray down to Reigate to get a few shots of the road tunnel down there for the week’s challenge. I decided to play with one of the series to see if I could recreate what a photo of the tunnel taken 100 years ago might have looked like. This is the southern approach, looking northwards from the town centre, and the main change, other than slinging it into silvertone, was to airbrush out the fluorescent lights along the roof. Not too difficult to look back 100 years, but wind the clock back another 100 years and my self-appointed task would have been just a touch more difficult, because the tunnel wasn’t opened until 1823 so it would still have been under construction, and - though different sources give different dates - it seems to be generally agreed that the world’s first photo wasn’t taken until 1826.
Notice that this southern parapet has two rows of blind arches above the portal, as compared with only one row on the northern parapet, as can be seen by one of my other postings.

Rudy Warman's Silvertone Guitar identified!!
Guitar in this shot: SILVERTONE 1454, circa 1965
(Actually a rebadged Harmony H78)
Every spin
Every cycle
They imagined their control.
Every keystroke played along and added
The needle outlast them all.
Notes dancing on one axis
No more groove space left to notch.
The maker's still left standing
But their time has lost its watch.
