This weekend, our Olympus boys dived into an epic adventure at Europa Park, Germany’s biggest theme park! After a long bus journey (with a pit stop for KFC), we arrived in Rust, just a short walk from both Europa Park and the splash-filled Aqua Park.

Europa Park is no ordinary theme park—it’s like traveling the world in a day! The park has 15 themed areas, each representing a different European country. From the high-speed twists of Silver Star, one of the fastest coasters in Europe at 130 km/h, to the wet and wild water rides of the Scandinavian Fjord Rafting, there’s something for everyone. Some of the boys faced their first-ever roller coaster rides, but by the end of the day, they were pros!

We also stopped for a break at an Italian buffet that rivaled any real trip to Italy—pizza, pasta, and gelato galore! After the day of thrills, the boys had the option to cool off at Rulantica, Europa Park’s Aqua Park, featuring everything from massive slides to wave pools. Fun fact: Rulantica has over 25 water attractions, so there was no shortage of ways to chill out!

Sunday was another chance to enjoy a few more hours in the park before heading back to campus, returning at 7:30 p.m., full of stories and excitement from the weekend!
