cut grass lies frail

Capsule review : Europa-Park

Talk to locals in Europe as a tourist and they will immediately impress upon you the unique character of their particular place : here we eat our spätzle like this, here we say good morning like that. Yet they happily apply the broadest stereotypes to their national neighbors, and Europa-Park serves as an ideal place to introduce such stereotypes to their children. Harmless enough, and at least the park does not stink of the crass commercialism one might encounter elsewhere—imagine America-Park and the gauntlet of money-squeezing methods to which one would be subjected.

Rating : ★★★☆☆
