Holiday Park, Germany — Attraction in Haßloch

Holiday park was beautiful, but it is mostly made for children.

Not very big, but big enough to spend a whole day there(or two if you have kids and they try every ride on the park) and have fun.

The queues were not very long, except of the geforce expedition where you have to wait much longer due to its popularity.

You can find arcade games in every section of the park which is fun. There are also the games were you win tickets to exchange for items.(these don't really worth it, you can buy these items on your own much cheaper. Don't spend so many euros on games just to get a couple of tickets for a toy car or a bubble gum.)

The BEST thing in the whole park? The desserts! Obviously the whole park has expensive snacks and food, but the desserts come in big portions so they totally worth it! All the sections in the park sell the same ice creams,pop corn and cotton candy. Also the slushy with soda taste(fanta and cola) is the best!

My reason for taking one star off is for the person working in the "one shot" games in the wickie the viking section(which is the best one in the park). You pay 4 euros for 1 game, 10 euros for 2 etc. We paid with cash, we gave him 5 euros and apparently he didnt have 1 euro change. Then my man wanted to play one more game with 4 euros but we only had 10 euros. Still they couldnt give us any change, so he kept the 10 euros and gave my man more balls to play the game. Unfortunately i was not aware that my man was not taking any change back and when i found out it was already late because he had played the extra game. Just stay away from those one shot games in the park. Plus most of these have a trick that wont allow you to win anything. (Except of the basketball game with the puppies near the entrance of the park - you just have to be careful there not to aim very high because they have a net.) For example in the one we got scammed, there is a rubber bottom in the pit where you are supposed to throw the ball, so the ball will bounce back and you lose everytime. Unless you throw it very softly. My man won one shot but we got nothing. Supposedly he had to win more.

The last part is the shopping. I loved both of the holiday park shops. Especially the big one in the entrance has everything and even more. You can find accessories from characters that dont really exist in the holiday park(like pokemon, spyro the dragon, tom and jerry etc) but it doesnt make much sense to buy them from there. Still you have the option...

Excellent day out for the family! I've taken one star away, because the remote controlled cars and boats are not well maintained. We wanted to play the remote controlled cars with three people (2 kids and one adult) together and put at the same time 1€ each into the control devices. Cars number 2 and 3 did not move at all and car 4 moved only very slowly about 1 feet and then stopped. After waiting a bit and trying again, it moved another one or two inch and that was it. Similar situation at the remote controlled boats. Boat number 2 did not move at all. As Holiday Park charges extra for remote controlled cars and boats, they should ether keep them in working condition or mark them as 'Out of Service'. The controller for boat 4 moved boat 3 and the controller for boat 3 (although the coin slot looked broken on first sight, my brother managed to insert 1€) moved boat 4. Only one water cannon was working. In think the controller number 3 controlled the water cannon of boat 3, although the controller 3 moved boat 4. What a mixup.

UPDATE May 2022: The remote controlled cars and boats are now gone. There was also no water ski show anymore. On the other hand, there have been a few new attractions since our last visit, like Splash Battle, where you can shoot from a boat with water guns.. However, I've taken another start away, because of wrong advertising at the food stalls. The food stall "Fear Slush" (to the right of the Sky Scream) advertised candy floss for 2.99€, but charged 3.99€. They also advertised the Slush drink in a plastic cup for 4.99€ and in two long design cups for more money. We wanted it in the normal plastic cup and they charged 6.99€ per drink, explaining that they have only these cups for 6.99€ because it is with gas. One Slush machine had a Coca-Cola sign and the other a Fanta sign, but the colour of the drinks didn't look at all like Coca-Cola or Fanta. However, my sons confirmed that this Slush was with gas and therefore tasted better than normal Slush. The food stall "Fear Snack" (to the left of the Sky Scream) had no menus hanging on the side where you queue for the till. Only on the side where you collect your food after payment they had menus hanging up. We've ordered one sausage with chips and two curry sausages with chips. They sold us all three sausages with "Brötchen" (bread roll) and the chips extra. We should have ordered a "menu" with a drink. Then the chips would have been with the sausages instead of...

I was in many parks, and can not really recommend this one: Too expensive - the price is too high compared to what it offers. If there is no crowd, you can finish the park in 2-3 hours max. There are many much better parks. Also, there are two roller-coasters that are serious, limits are 11 and 14 years, there is nothing for smaller kids (no medium roller coasters as there are in other parks). We had 3 kids and they were desperate because there was no possibility to ride any roller coaster. Once we tried on G-Force, my daughter was fine with height-limit, but since she is still not 11 years old, they refused her! The stuff not friendly: I have bought 7 tickets online. First 3 tickets for my family, and then also some days after, 4 tickets for another family. Because of the sickness, we postponed our planned visit. As we finally went to the park, it turns out that the first bought 3 tickets are valid (until 2020), but 4 tickets (that we bought after first 3) were expired for several days! And they insisted that we can not go in, unless we pay again for 4 expired tickets. So we paid for 4 persons again, but since there were 3 kids among us, we wanted to pay for 1 Adult and for 3 kids, since we could save in this way few euro. But then the stuff insisted on measuring the kids, and since two of them were 1 cm above 140cm limit, they refused to charge them as kids, but as an adults. At the end, we paid again 135 € for this 4 tickets. Insisting on 1cm after we throw out 100€ because of some ticket limitation is SHAMELESS! Shame on you Holiday Park! At the end, this family of 4 paid 230€ for the visit. The weather was bad, there were no people, and we finished all attractions in 3 hours and we went home. We tried to visit "Stunt Show" at 14:30, but after few minutes we were really ashamed of such a bad taste, terrible "humor" and as our kids asked us to leave this show, we were relieved. So, everything put together, we were terrible disappointed, never again, there are much much better alternatives...
