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.
