The 32C heated pool is in the 'Dynstrønd' area of the park and is the largest open-air pool in Rulantica to date. It also has several features including geysers, water mist and an infinity area. In addition, there is a rock cave with bubbling water loungers and a discovery tour with mascot 'Snorri' - perfect for little ones.

Visitors can also get to the outdoor swimming area from the indoor area. Europa-Park's owner, Ronald Mack, said: "With 'Svømmepøl', we are expanding Rulantica's year-round offering with a spacious and fascinatingly designed outdoor pool that promises both relaxation and adventure. Advertisement "The numerous details and special features create an impressive bathing experience and once again set new standards in innovative water attractions," reports EAP Magazine. The pool even took an entire week to fill. Inside Universal Epic Universe with incredible thrill rides and amazing food Rulantica first opened in 2019 and in total spans 32,600sqm with 14 themed zones based on Nordic legends including Rangnakor. There are 50 slides and attractions in total, as well as a wave pool and two swim up bars.

Rulantica is operated by Europa-Park, which sits just next door to the waterpark. There is even a free shuttle that runs between the two attractions. Tickets to enter Rulantica cost £38.50 and tickets to enter Europa-Park cost £54. Advertisement What is Europa-Park like? WRITER Lee Bell recently visited Europa-Park and has shared his thoughts. Within just one hour, I wake up in Rome, stroll through the streets of southern Spain, and whizz through Scandinavia on a rollercoaster. There are still 15 more countries to see before the day is through. But that is easily done at Europa Park — a mega theme park in Germany where different areas are designed to look just like European countries. Spanning 230 acres just outside Rust, a small unassuming town in the southwest of the country near the borders of France and Switzerland, this theme park and hotel resort is an adrenaline junkie's dream. And its theming means you can travel the continent on a whirlwind tour. The attention to detail is off the chart. The Greece area captures the feel of being in Mykonos while the Switzerland section transports you to the heart of the Alps. From the architecture to the street signs, it feels like you're really visiting these different lands. Its extravagance reminds me of a family-friendly Las Vegas, just without the casinos and flashing neon lights. Instead, it's packed with 13 rollercoasters, 100 attractions, six themed hotels, and a full-blown water park. Back in February, Europa-Park celebrated its 50th anniversary and with it, opened a new ride. Featuring the park's mice mascots Ed and Edda, the ride is a train journey with an interactive gaming element. The ride is based on the upcoming film, 'Grand Prix of Europe' - a cartoon film that stars Ed and Edda voiced by Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Gemma Arterton. Visitors can ride on 'Grand Prix EDventure' with Ed and Edda's racing crew and take a trip across Europe.
