Europa Park in Germany - best day of week to visit?

Question

I will be there in May. I have the option of going on Friday May 11th or Sunday May 13th.

What day of the week is it least busiest? Are weekends really busy? How long are the line-ups on weekends?

Answer 1

Im living in American,Ive Been there 2 times before... even on saturdays it is not very crowded

Answer 2

I agree with nachosmyman: try to avoid the weekends! Friday 11th of may isn't a holiday in Germany.

Answer 3

I disagree totally to answer #1.  It can get very crowded especially on weekends and holidays. I have been Europa Park four times and I would say go on Friday UNLESS that is a holiday of some sort in Germany.  The line-ups can be long and if I remember correctly, there is no fast pass system like you would find at Cedar Point or Disney.  This may have changed since I was there last year.  The roller coaster (the big one...can't remember the name of it) and the water rides are always a longer wait.  Maybe 45 minutes to an hour if it is busy.  The one thing you will notice is that they aren't very organized about putting people on rides.  Often cars (logs on the water ride or rollercoaster cars) will go unfilled during the ride.  They don't organize you early in line to completely fill the ride up.  Weird.

You'll have fun there...try to go to a thermal bath nearby.  That part of Germany has several thermal baths and they are fun to visit too.
