Europa-Park announces the return of the high diving show “Retorno dos Piratas” this summer, following an incident last year in which the water tank burst, injuring seven people.
The High Diving Show Returns
At Europa-Park, the spectacular High Diving Show is set to make a comeback this summer. Titled “Retorno dos Piratas,” the performance will once again take place in the park's Portuguese-themed area. From June 1 to September 1, visitors will have the opportunity to witness breathtaking acrobatic feats. Despite last year's accident, the park is relying on the same exciting staging to captivate its audience.
A Look Back: The 2023 Accident
In August of the previous year, a serious incident overshadowed the show when the water tank of the attraction unexpectedly burst. This accident resulted in injuries to five performers and two park visitors. The tank, an integral part of the Atlantica SuperSplash water roller coaster, had a significant crack in its wall. The incident immediately triggered investigations and reviews of safety standards.
Measures and Responsibilities
In response to the accident, Europa-Park's management emphasized the role of the external supplier, Vertical Limit Event, which was responsible for the safety and quality of the tank. It was made clear that comprehensive measures had been taken to ensure the attraction's safety and to restore confidence in the show.
Confidence in the Future
Despite the challenges of the past year, Europa-Park looks to the future with optimism. The decision to continue the High Diving Show reflects confidence in the improved safety measures and the quality of the performances. Visitors can look forward to an impressive show that is now safer than ever.
Conclusion
With the return of the High Diving Show at Europa-Park, a statement of resilience and trust is made. After last year's accident, extensive safety precautions have been taken to make the popular attraction safe for performers and visitors alike.
