Euro-Mir

Goodbye, Euro-Mir!

After 30 seasons of ‘Get in, go up, spin around’, an era will come to an end in January 2027!

Since 12 June 1997, Euro-Mir has been a defining feature of Europa-Park – with its striking silhouette, unmistakable soundtrack and unique ride experience, rushing forwards and backwards down the track. Generations of visitors have made memories here. Before a new chapter begins, we would like to say goodbye together with you – as an icon deserves.

A farewell and a new beginning

A new space-themed attraction for the whole family is being built on the historic site of Euro-Mir, due to open by 2028.

The Euro-Mir will be making its final run during the 2026/2027 winter season – but the space theme will remain. A standalone space-themed area is being created on the site of the existing attraction, combining tradition with the future: featuring a new family rollercoaster from MACK Rides and much more.

The farewell event on 9 January 2027

Before dismantling begins, we’ll be saying goodbye to this iconic rollercoaster with a big event on 9 January 2027. Together with guests, fans and those who have been with us along the way, we’ll look back on almost three decades of Euro-Mir and celebrate once again everything that makes this special attraction so unique. Further information will follow shortly.

A glance into the future

In the new themed area, visitors will be able to experience the fascination of space travel in an inspiring and accessible way – particularly for children and families. To achieve this, we are working with strong partners – such as the European Space Agency (ESA), with whom we officially sealed a partnership on 8 June 2026. By signing this agreement, Europa-Park and the ESA are setting an example for the integration of science, education and emotion. The aim is to convey the fascination of European space travel in an inspiring and accessible way, particularly for children and families. In future, the collaboration is set to feature in educational programmes, events and other interactive experiences, as well as playing a key role in the planned space-themed area.

Further details on the new themed area will follow in due course. Completion is scheduled for the 2028 season.

Unforgotten since its first launch

The opening of the Euro-Mir in 1997 marked the start of a new chapter at Europa-Park.

After three years of construction, Euro-Mir opened as an attraction that deliberately set itself apart from traditional rollercoasters: nine trains with rotating gondolas, futuristic architecture and a track layout that uniquely combined speed, rotation and a sense of space. The slogan 'Get on, rise up and spin' aptly summed up what guests could expect from then on.

Even at its opening, it was clear that something extraordinary had been created. Euro-Mir was billed as a 'galactic world first' and proved a huge draw with the public from day one. Guests at the press conference included the well-known cosmonauts Alexandre Viktorenko, Yuri Malentshenko and Alexandre Serebrov. A particularly symbolic touch: the three cosmonauts were trained in the very same Mir station that forms the entrance area of the Euro-Mir.

Space history brought to life

The Mir space station made Euro-Mir something special even before the mission began.

A centrepiece of Euro-Mir is the Mir space station in the attraction’s entrance area. The training module arrived at Europa-Park back in 1995, bringing a piece of real space history to Rust. The module was used to train Russian cosmonauts. It is precisely this combination of themed ride and real history that has given Euro-Mir a special atmosphere right from the start.

From its opening day on 12 June 1997 until the end of the season in early November 1997, around 1.5 million guests rode Euro-Mir.
