Water fun, relaxation & Nordic mythology
The Rulantica water world is a central component of the MACK Group's strategy to establish the Europa-Park Resort as a year-round destination with water attractions that perfectly combine adventure and relaxation. Michael Mack, Managing Partner of Europa-Park, has implemented a vision that combines adventure, relaxation and immersive story worlds.
Since opening in 2019, Rulantica has established itself as one of Europe's leading water worlds. Both thrilling and leisurely water attractions, lovingly themed, relaxing retreats and the Hyggedal sauna and wellness area offer adventure and relaxation for all ages.
For generations, the MACK Group has stood for innovation and quality - with Rulantica, we have created a new dimension of experience.
Action, relaxation and pleasure in a unique atmosphere
Rulantica offers a wide range of attractions for all ages. The world's only water carousel, Tønnevirvel, developed by MACK Rides, combines round boats with interactive elements for a thrilling experience. The VR water attraction Snorri Snorkling VR, developed by VR Coaster, immerses guests in a virtual underwater world.
Vikingløp, Europe's largest speed slide, offers visitors a thrilling race down eight parallel mat slides. Other highlights include the half-pipe slide Vinter Rytt and the lazy river Snorri's Saga, offering additional variety.
In addition to the action-packed attractions, Rulantica also offers plenty of retreats for relaxation. Exclusive Komfort Offers allow for individual relaxation in the midst of the water world. Whether it's Komfort Hyddas with its own service, an entire luxury suite ('Svit'), your own yacht or cosy sofas in a quiet location, Rulantica has something for everyone. Hyggedal is a Scandinavian-inspired wellness oasis with panoramic views of the water world, a spacious wellness area, saunas and a steam bath for pure relaxation.
A wide range of culinary delights ensure moments of indulgence - from the Mediterranean self-service restaurant Lumålunda to the swim-up bar Tempel Krog and the Scandinavian food court Strand Kök. A direct link to the 4* superior hotel 'Krønasår' provides a seamless resort experience with exclusive access via a private hotel bridge.
The world of Rulantica - a saga of magic, mysticism and adventure
Rulantica is more than just a water world - it is a mystical story inspired by Norse mythology. Michael Mack, Managing Partner of Europa-Park, was the creative mind behind the development of this fascinating story. His vision was to create an immersive experience that guests could discover not only in the water world itself, but also in books, audio books, comics and digital media. The story revolves around the mermaid Aquina, her brother Mats and Snorri, the mascot of the water world, who together protect the secret of the island.
With each new attraction, the story continues to grow, making Rulantica an immersive experience that captivates guests even when they’re away from the water world.
A milestone for the MACK Group
With an initial investment of €180 million, Rulantica is the largest single investment in the history of the MACK Group. The water world is a central component of the strategy to develop the Europa-Park Resort into a year-round holiday destination, regardless of the weather. Every detail, from the thematic design to the innovative water attractions, has been implemented with passion and a quest for perfection. The combination of water fun, relaxation and Nordic theming makes Rulantica unique in the European leisure industry.
Sustainability and leisure fun in harmony
Rulantica combines innovation, family friendliness and environmental awareness. Even during the construction phase, the focus was on sustainable concepts. The protection of the surrounding flora and fauna also played a central role: A large green area serves as a retreat for animals and plants, and the water world offers a harmonious interplay between nature and leisure activities.
For generations, the Mack philosophy has been one of constant innovation.
