Belmont Park celebrates 97th anniversary with park updates
ollowing the celebration of its 97th anniversary on July 4, historic amusement park Belmont Park, located on Ocean Front at Surfrider Square in the Mission Bay area of San Diego, California, has been making an array of updates to ensure it is in the best condition ever when the time comes to celebrate its centenary.
Over the past year, Belmont Park has added murals by local artists throughout the park, increased its safety measures, improved rides,
added new rides and most recently opened a new escape room.
“Belmont Park has had an incredible life these past 97 years,” said Steve Thomas, general manager at Belmont Park. “As we prepare for 100 years of Belmont Park, I want to make sure we’re in the best shape we’ve ever been in and that means new rides, better safety, new games, more fun and so much more.”
Island Theme Park. “We partnered with Sony Pictures in order to achieve an authentic experience that will be the first attraction of this level in Russia, in one of the world’s leading theme parks.” “In line with our growing Location Based Entertainment strategy, Dream Island Theme Park has done a fantastic job bringing this beloved brand to life and giving audiences the unique opportunity to transport themselves into the thrilling world of Hotel Transylvania,” said Jeffrey Godsick, EVP of Global Partnerships and Brand Management and Head of Location Based Entertainment at Sony Pictures Entertainment. In addition to the Hotel Transylvania ride,
guests will also find a “Tavern of Fear” snack bar, a “Vampire’s Bite” burger cafe and “Transylvania Treasures,” a gift store filled with Hotel Transylvania themed souvenirs and memorabilia.
New rides
Belmont Park recently added two new rides at the park: Dip ‘N Dive and Wave Jumper. Now open, the Dip ‘N Dive is a submarine voyage featuring a full-size mural backdrop of an underwater scene. It consists of a replica mini-submarine attached to two large mechanical arms that rotate the ride clockwise and counterclockwise through the air, lifting riders to a maximum height of 20 feet at a speed of 10 RPM. The Wave Jumper, also now open, features boats that race up, down and all around on an imaginary trip through the ocean. Fun for all passengers, Wave Jumper allows riders to explore the ocean waves as the boat “jumps” up and down in a circular motion just as one would on an open sea exploration. With speeds just reaching six RPM, this ride is perfect for smaller travellers.
New games Tornado Springs opens
Danish theming firm MK Themed Attractions assisted UK family park Paultons Park in getting its brand-new themed area, Tornado Springs, ready for 12 April by producing and delivering customised props for the entire area.
For the first time since opening Escapology in 2016, Belmont Park has released a new Escapology room, Mansion Murder. With a 9 out of 10 difficulty rating, the new room takes place in the Scottish Highlands on New Years Eve in 1999. Gamers play the role of Robert Montgomerie who is attending a family gathering, hosted by Grandfather, Hugh Montgomerie. As the guests raise a toast, a scream fills the air and Grandpa is found dead in the library – and it looks like murder. Locked in a room, Robert realises that he is the direct heir to the Kildermorie Estate and the Montgomerie family fortune – he’s being framed. Players have 60 minutes to prove Robert’s innocence and escape the room. Looking ahead, Belmont Park plans to build an additional building with new escape rooms in 2023.
and experiences, all with a heavy Midwestern US theme. The majority of the themed elements were produced and delivered by MK Themed Attractions. Guests will be immersed in the new area completed with themed signs, props, objects, and coasters, all telling the unique story of Tornado Springs.
