Airship observed soaring above Düsseldorf: Sky-bound apparition spotted
Europa-Park Zeppelin Takes to the Skies for Advertising Campaign
The skies over Düsseldorf and the Ruhr region will be graced by an unusual sight in August, as the Europa-Park Zeppelin embarks on an advertising campaign for Europa-Park. Scheduled for August 30 and 31, the airship will fly over Essen, nearby locations, and Düsseldorf, providing a mobile advertisement for the amusement park as it celebrates its 50th anniversary.
The Europa-Park Zeppelin is one of the operating Zeppelins worldwide, and it will be showcasing the park to a broad audience in a highly visible way. With a cruising speed of about 70 km/h and an altitude of approximately 300 meters, the airship is well-equipped to cover the designated routes.
The Europa-Park Zeppelin, based at Europa-Park, Germany's largest amusement park, boasts a length of 75 meters and a width of almost 20 meters. It can accommodate 14 passengers who can move freely, watch the captain in the cockpit, or relax. The airship is filled with non-flammable helium, ensuring a safe and enjoyable flight experience.
The flight route includes Essen/Mülheim Airport, Baldeneysee, Zollverein coal mine, Veltins Arena, Duisburg, Oberhausen, and potentially Düsseldorf. Since spring, the Zeppelin has been circling over Lake Constance, the Allgäu, and the Vorarlberg region with advertising and mascots on its white hull.
Tickets for a flight with the Zeppelin are not available for general booking, as they are given away to fans through competitions. The sight of a Zeppelin flying over Düsseldorf is a rare occurrence, making it an exciting event for residents and visitors alike.
Europa-Park is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and the flight over the Ruhr region is part of a coordinated marketing strategy aimed at generating excitement and attracting visitors from populous regions such as North Rhine-Westphalia. Signing up for the Düsseldorf newsletter provides updates on news, services, and features in the city.
