Local news reported an eyewitness saying: “It banged loudly two or three times. After that, a huge fire could be seen.” The park was first built and opened in 1975 but has since gone under many transformations. Tickets for the park cost between £40 and £300. It is located in the border triangle region of Germany, France and Switzerland and is about 34 miles south of Strasbourg. There was a previous fire at the park in 2018 where witnesses said the flames reached 15 metres high. It was currently unclear how the blaze started but it is believed it began in a warehouse in the park before spreading to rides. Flames ‘destroyed’ the ‘The Pirates of Batavia’ attraction and the ‘Scandinavia’ area at the theme park was evacuated. The attraction is the largest theme park in the country and the second most popular in Europe, following Disneyland Paris in France.
