Dear Sir or Madam, accompanied by the Mack family, French star director Luc Besson presented the world of "Arthur - In the Minimoys Kingdom" to about a hundred international journalists at Europa-Park.

Construction work on Europa-Park's most elaborate indoor attraction, which will open in time for the start of the 2014 season, is progressing well: the unique world of the Minimoys, including an interactive theme ride, a free fall tower and a large slide paradise, impresses with its detailed creation based on Luc Besson's successful trilogy "Arthur and the Invisibles".

Along with Michael Mack, Luc Besson presented the new major attraction and the fascinating new 4D movie "Arthur", which was jointly produced by EuropaCorp and Mack Media and can now be seen in the Magic Cinema 4D in Germany's biggest theme park.

During his visit to Rust, the French film-maker praised the Franco-German cooperation as well as Europa Park's creative ideas, which the Mack family continues to promote. Luc Besson and the Mack family also planted a sessile oak at the entrance of the new major attraction.

The young tree is a gift from State Forest President, Max Reger, to Europa-Park. The State Forest President highlighted Europa-Park's environmental commitment; the natural world and sustainability are also central to the new major attraction "Arthur - In the Minimoys Kingdom".
