Transformation from Outdoor to Indoor Attraction: “Tønnevirvel”

The water world Rulantica, located at Europa-Park Resort in Rust, Germany, reopened its attraction “Tønnevirvel” after a major renovation in December 2024. Now, it’s covered with a Texlon® ETFE system!

Tønnevirvel transformed from an outdoor to an indoor attraction. This makes it a great destination for all visitors even during the cold days in Germany.

Illumination of the Texlon® ETFE Roof

In the evening, Tønnevirvel is now much more fun for visitors than before, thanks to the special illumination of the Texlon® ETFE roof and surroundings.

How to Keep the Outdoor Feeling for the Visitors

The decagonal Tønnevirvel building has a diameter of 28 meters, formed by 20 transparent Texlon® ETFE cushions and 1 center cushion. Tønnevirvel was an outdoor attraction that opened in 2022. The goal of the renovation was to keep the outdoor feeling for the visitors. This is easily possible with the Texlon® ETFE system. In general, it can be fully customized to the buildings and environmental needs.

The Texlon® ETFE roof is supported by glass walls which can be opened during summertime. Further, the new Tønnevirvel building directly connects to the large hall of the water world Rulantica. This provides a seamlessly warm feeling during cold days for the visitors of the water world Rulantica.
