Cancan Coaster • Europa Park

Theming Pointless

This redo is my opinion Europaparks worst decision. I was personally a big fan of the old Eurosat (especially at the Punpkin coaster event) but they literally removed everything that was good about it. The queue theming is well done but as soon as the ride starts the theming quality turns from 100% to 1% The ride is forceless and the music does not really fit. The only good thing I can say about this is the train design, which to me looks absolutely fantastic. This ride does not deserve the Eurosat name on its logo. What they should have done in my opinion is theme it to Jules Verne journey to the moon. That way it would fit the French theme while still keeping the space vibes.

After all these negative reviews on the internet, the actual overall experience was surprisingly good: The theming in the queue area and the station is really nice while the one while riding is "just" okay. I like that there is an orchestral version of the former theme "In a second orbit" playing in the lift. The french countdown and the Cancan Onboard music is also quite fancy. I also can't understand people consider the new ride as "too tame" - it is not as intense as the old Eurosat, but it's still great fun and now it runs absolutely smooth with comfortable trains. The cancan coaster is different than its predecessor, but it's still good.

Theming Fun

Nothing marvelous, but nobody can say that riding a coaster while clapping along Offenbach cancan music isn't fun.

Duration Theming Disappointing!

I've been in the old Eurosat a hundred times and I loved the space theme. I found the waiting line really nicely done but the coaster itself is really disappointing now. The props look cheap and it just doesn't work. The space theme was so much suitable for the big metallic globe around it as well. Europapark stays my favourite theme park and I know they do magic so I have my hopes up high that they will make it just as good or even better than before. I hope they will listen to their guests.

Theming Disappointing!

I rode the original before the renos and it was so much better. The que on this ride is well done and it has a lot of attention to detail but the ride itself is more than disappointing. There is about 5 props you drive past which are very cheaply done and the rest of the time you drive around in the dark to some music which I cant tell if it was meant to somewhat match the track with beat. I would not ride this again.

Worth to be noted - I never rode the original Eurosat. Can Can Coaster, from a theming point of view, is a brilliant realisation that perfectly completes the now fully refurbished French zone of the park. The queue as well as the exterior aspect is spotless, full of details and references to other parks. Plus the theming of 'Le Moulin Rouge' in itself is very original. Onride, even though the coaster is smooth as butter, theming is bit cheaper - probably to suit Eurosat's original atmosphere, which is understandable but debatable. Overall, certainly a great family ride with an outstanding theming, but if it is as memorable an experience for guests as Eurosat used to be remains to be seen...
