About Poseidon
Poseidon is a water coaster in the Greek area of Europa-Park, opened in 2000. The 4-minute ride combines an indoor dark-ride section through a flooded Atlantis-themed space, an outdoor coaster segment, and two water drops with predictable soakings. Minimum height 120 cm for riders alone; kids 100-120 cm can ride with an adult. The Greek-themed architecture around the ride (including a Poseidon statue and a Mediterranean courtyard restaurant) is among the strongest area theming in the park. Queue times typically 15-45 minutes. Bring a change of clothes for kids or buy a park poncho (EUR 12) at the ride entrance. Back rows get the wettest; front rows get wet but with less impact. Riding Poseidon and Atlantica SuperSplash back-to-back and drying out in the French quarter terrace for 30-40 minutes is a standard afternoon move.
