Poland: Construction Contract for Majaland Gdansk Signed
After Majaland Kownaty (2018) and Majaland Warsaw (2021), another Plopsa theme park is being built in Gdansk. For the construction of the third park on Polish soil, the Plopsa Group joint venture and Momentum Leisure (part of Momentum Capital) now signed a contract. The Belgian company CFE, which has already implemented the other two parks in Poland, which together welcome 600,000 visitors per year, was commissioned with the construction of the new park as general contractor. The new park on the Baltic coast in the north of the country is scheduled to open in summer 2024. A total of 27.5 million euros is being invested in the construction of the new park, which is expected to attract 300,000 visitors per year.
Martijn van Rheenen, CEO of Momentum Leisure, says: “The construction of our third theme park in Poland, this time in Gdansk, is part of our overall strategy in Central and Eastern Europe. Momentum Leisure has the ambition to be the leading party in localising, thematising and launching theme parks with the best business partners. With CFE and Plopsa we have had a successful relationship for years. In the coming years, we also want to grow the number of theme parks in Central and Eastern Europe.“
CEO Plopsa Group Steve Van den Kerkhof comments: “On the basis of the long-standing good relationship we have with CFE, it is a logical step that we entrust them with the construction of the third theme park in Poland, this time in Gdansk. The first two parks were delivered by CFE both within budget and on schedule. This is a remarkable achievement and we look forward to the construction of the Gdansk theme park with confidence.”
Bruno Lambrecht, responsible for CFE Poland, says, “As a multidisciplinary group, we always go to great lengths for our partners and strive for maximum customer satisfaction for each project. As with the construction of the two previous theme parks, we are again committed to a successful implementation of this third theme park. We are therefore delighted with the award of this new contract and thank Plopsa Group and Momentum Leisure for the trust they have placed in CFE.” (eap)
