More context
Ahead of Europa-Park’s 50th anniversary, Euro-Tower gained an unexpected spotlight outside the park itself. Model manufacturer Faller announced a new miniature kit of the observation tower. The model is produced in 1:87 scale, consists of 201 parts in five colours and carries a recommended price of 49.99 euros. Its release was planned for June 2025 under product number 191830.
For collectors and park fans, the choice of this particular attraction is telling. Faller had released a Euro-Tower model years earlier, but the new version was clearly tied to Europa-Park’s anniversary year. The manufacturer described the tower as a fixture of the park since its arrival in 1983. Measuring 23.4 by 19.6 by 56.7 centimetres, the miniature remains large enough to preserve the slender profile that makes the real tower instantly recognisable.
Looopings also highlighted the real Euro-Tower’s travelling past. Built by Intamin, the tower appeared at events in Switzerland, Germany and at the Floriade in Amsterdam-Zuidoost in the early 1980s before finding a permanent home in Europa-Park’s French themed area. With a 50-seat rotating cabin and a height of 75 metres, it remains a visible landmark. Its return as a model kit underlines the tower’s status as one of the park’s familiar icons.
