Bishop Heike Springhart Rides Europa-Park's Poseidon Water Coaster
Protestant Church Bishop Experiences Thrilling Ride on Water Coaster - Driven Preacher, Operating a Water-Horned Creature
Heike Springhart, the bishop of the Evangelical Church in Baden, has ridden the Poseidon water roller coaster at Europa-Park. During an ecumenical service celebrating the park's 50th anniversary, she shared her experience and appreciations.
"I've already taken a spin on the Poseidon," revealed Springhart at the celebration held in Rust, Baden-Württemberg. The ride combines roller coaster and boat rides for an exhilarating aquatic adventure. "I haven't dared more roller coasters yet," she added with a grin.
Springhart is not shy of tackling challenges, she told reporters on the sidelines of the event. "I believe people can push their boundaries," she declared. That sentiment also extends to embracing vitality and finding joy in life. "I see what's possible and what might not be. It's also about growing beyond oneself."
A Different Shade of Life
Springhart encouraged the importance of amusement parks in our lives. She believes they provide a much-needed escape from our daily routines, giving life a different color. "It's not about escaping daily life," she emphasized. "But giving it a different twist."
Europa-Park holds a special place in her heart, she admitted. "Many who keep coming here, and I'm not the only one, allow themselves to be a child again," she mused in Rust. She shared the joyous occasion with the Archbishop of Freiburg, Stephan Burger.
