Germany: FORT FUN Announces “Yakari’s Adventures” as Novelty for 2023

FORT FUN Abenteuerland near Bestwig in the Sauerland region of Germany has now revealed the first details of its planned new attraction for the 2023 season: visitors can look forward to a new adventure world centered around “YAKARI”, the little boy from the Sioux tribe who is well-known from the KiKa television channel’s animated series of the same name. Together with Yakari, the wild horse “Little Thunder” and other friends, visitors will be able to experience three different adventures and discover the exciting nature and wildlife of the steppe landscape, as the park mysteriously teases. In order to keep the guest excitement high, more details are to follow later this fall.

“Being able to take our guests into Yakari’s world from 2023 on is very special for us. Yakari and Fort Fun fit together perfectly. Yakari’s messages of living in unison with nature, taking care of friends, striving for more solidarity between humans and treating animals respectfully correspond to our attitude as a cosmopolitan leisure and family park seated right within our beautiful nature. Our guests can expect a wonderful symbiosis of the typical nature of the Sauerland area and the world of Yakari,” comments Andreas Sievering, Managing Director of Fort Fun. In terms of design, the park says to have an eye on using mainly natural materials. Moreover, a photo-voltaic unit is planned to energize the new attractions.

Within the next two years, two additional expansions with further highlights are planned. In total “Yakari’s plains” will reach a size of 10,000 square meters. “Yakaris adventures are a big and important step for the further development of our park. With this we will also increase our capacity and herewith react on our success of the last years,” Sievering adds. Just recently, Fort Fun reported one of its most successful seasons to date, and the park, operated by the French Looping Group, is also celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. (eap)
