ADVENTURE WORLD WARSAW Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Poland
OPENING 2015
Billed as the first themed amusement park in Poland and the biggest resort devel- opment in Eastern Europe, Adventure World Warsaw Parks & Resort is on target to open in June 2015.
Since building permits were issued earlier this year, Polish contractor Imtech Pol- ska has started work on the 230-hectare (568-acre) site in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, near the Polish capital city of Warsaw. International consortium Las Palm is funding the €620m (£530m, US$830m) resort, which will include a large at- tractions park comprising six themed lands: Adventure Harbour; Old Town; Castle Island; Creature Lagoon; Lost Val- ley; and Land of Legend.
At the heart of the amusement park will be the 12,010sq m (129,275sq ft) Adventure Harbour, featuring magical shops, while stories will be brought to life within the 16,750sq m (180,295sq ft)

Old Town where guests can meet iconic legends of the past like mermaids. The larger 43,290sq m (465,970sq ft) Castle Island will be populated with characters such as Merlin the wizard, King Arthur, the three witches and a dragon to create a medieval kingdom, whereas the 31,670sq m (340,893sq ft) fun-filled Creature Lagoon village will entertain children with Griffins and the Loch Ness Monster. Lost Valleys will comprise mythical pathways and thrilling rides, while the final zone – Land of Legends – will allow visitors to discover the remains of ancient civilisations with Egyptian tombs and Mayan temples. The theme park will be complemented by the country’s largest indoor water park – Aqua Dome – two themed hotels offering 630 rooms, conference and meeting facili- ties, as well as restaurants.
More than four million visitors are antici- pated to visit Adventure World Warsaw in its first operational year, with a growth factor of three per cent. Water ride manufacturer Hafema and Netherlands-based JoraVi- sion, Vekoma Rides and AGS Architects are involved in the project.
