The first Mack wooden roller coaster made its appearance in 1921. Michael Mack says: “I think it’s in the DNA of the Mack family for each generation to try to reinvent the business and that is literally the fact while we succeeded for 240 years. We started doing carriages, then rollercoasters. We founded Europa-Park and brought the hotel business t...
In 2009, Mack had conversations with Luc Besson. This eventually led to the start of Mack Animation. “I thought Luc’s ARTHUR brand would integrate beautifully at Europa-Park,” says Mack. “So, we opened ARTHUR and shortly afterwards it won the THEA award for the “best ride system” in a theme park. “It was not so much AV and picture-driven, but more ...

It grew into a high-quality all in-house production studio for animated films and computer-generated media production. “I called Hanover,” says Michael Mack. “It happened that the CEO, Holger Tappe, took the phone and I said to him, ‘Listen, I’m from Europa-Park…...

Michael Mack contends that working with the right intellectual property (IP) is crucial: “It depends really on the park, on what your set up is, on your DNA. “With us, the problem was that we are so European; we live through our architecture. A Marvel ride, for instance, wouldn’t fit in our environment, because people would feel it to be a bit wron...
One major advantage of content-driven rides is that the content can be changed easily. The ride can be given a fresh lease of life, with new IP, if necessary. “I would always go for content-driven or AV content-driven ride systems,” says Mack. “Because you can easily change the content once the IP is not in demand anymore. That’s all we did with th...

The ridefeatures detailed sets with animatronics, effects and an extensive range of cutting- edge media elements. It combines the current trend for nostalgia with an immersive 21st-centur...
Contemplating the industry’s future, and the imperatives for those working in that industry, Mack says: “It’s so important to be innovative, to think about what the future of themed experience could be. Everything is a competitor in this market: people won’t spend the money twice. “Invest globally. It starts with your staff wearing beautiful clothe...
