Unipraias park, Santa Catarina, Brazil
Otros de los parques beneficiados con el estímulo tributario es Unipraias
Camboriú, en el estado de Santa Catarina y Unipraias en la ciudad de Gramado, estado de Rio Grande do Sul. Los dos ofrecen hermosos escenarios naturales que pueden ser observados desde teleféricos, pero el de Camboriú se caracteriza también por la oportunidad de recorrer las zonas naturales a bordo de tirolesas por una compañía norteamericana, o de un tren, suspendido a tres metros de altura, desde donde es posible observar escenarios como la Casa de Chocolate o el Mirador Laranjeiras. La atracción más reciente, abierta en 2015, es Fantástica Floresta, descrito como un mundo secreto, en medio de un bosque, donde habitan seres encantados que representan el bien. La primera etapa de este emprendimiento estará terminada al final de
2018, para iniciar operaciones en la temporada del verano brasilero. Este parque, que tendrá una extensión de 62,000 metros cuadrados, está ubicado sobre la fuente más grande de agua termal en el mundo, conocida como el Acuífero Guarani. Blue Park tendrá una playa de 11,000 metros cuadrados, una de las tres
más grandes del mundo, alrededor de la cual se ubicarán atracciones como el Wizzard que consiste en cuatro toboganes interconectados y Flat Line un tobogán con descenso radical de 17 metros. “Primero se construirá la infraestructura y los equipos llegarán en octubre
de este año”, dijo Edson Itiro Tsusaki, segundo director de infraestuctura de Mabu Thermas Grand Resort, responsable del desarrollo del nuevo parque. El ejecutivo añadió que en la primera fase esperan 4,000 huéspedes por día y que la segunda etapa está prevista para el año 2020.

the Galaxy roller coaster, the Sinister Mansion, the Octopus and a carousel. Since then, the entrepreneur has proposed to incorporate a new attraction for each year of operation. Splash was replaced by the Tsunami, built in Chile under license from Itamin of Switzerland. In 2008 they opened the second ‘Suspended Looping Coaster’ of South America, which received the name of Raptor and represented an investment of close to US$10 million. In 2009 they incorporated three attractions for the little ones: Rockin ‘Tug, Toing & Boing and Buggy Jump, developed by Zamperla. 2010 brought Volare, a flying chair ride by Zierer, and in 2011 Ikarus, made in Germany by HUSS, was released. In 2012, Fantasilandia added Air Race from Zamperla and in 2015 came Moby
Dick, manufactured by Wisdom Rides, and the Mining Train, manufactured by Vekoma. Then, in 2016, Tagada, by Fabbri Group, was opened. The latest innovation is ‘Fly Over’, an 80m tower, considered the highest of all amusement parks in South America. Constructed by Austrian company Funtime Handels, passengers get the sensation of flying while enjoying a view of Santiago in 360º. Spokespeople from Fantasilandia reported that as there are only 30 games operating in the parks of the world. Gerardo Arteaga Jr., current manager of Fantasilandia, recalls that his father’s
motivation to undertake this project was to see people happy. He noted that after 40 years of activities he is proud of the evolution of the park and the modern infrastructure it has, represented in 40 games and other fun alternatives, in which 700 employees work, including technical personnel and even actors who recreate the different scenarios and entertain the attending public. It is estimated that Fantasilandia has received at least 30 million visitors in its four decades of operation. The younger ones now enjoy the adrenaline, but the older ones remember with nostalgia the first bumper cars and the Octopus, which were an icon in Santiago for many years.
