Pop stars and superfans

The stands are to be freshly painted for the SWR show "Immer wieder sonntags" (Every Sunday) with Andy Borg. However, painters Daniel Klausmann and Dirk Schöpflin have to overcome a few obstacles first. Event manager Ludovic Zimmermann is organizing tents, refrigerators, and catering for the hit show. Hundreds of guests and VIPs will be there. He hopes the open-air event will go ahead without rain. It will also be strenuous for Florian Frey, who is responsible for the roller coasters at Europa-Park. Today, he and industrial climber Julien Thillou are inspecting thousands of screws on the wooden roller coaster "Wodan" – 40 meters above the ground. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, the park also has spiritual moments: The church at Europa-Park is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a special service, which will also be attended by an archbishop and the regional bishop. For the operators of Europa-Park, the Mack family, it has always been clear: pleasure and faith belong together.
