Poland: It’s Getting Sweet at Energylandia – New Theme Area “Sweet Valley“ Announced for 2022
At Energylandia one development follows the other – just this past summer the park opened the “Aqualantis“ theme area including the new Shockwave Double Launch Coatser “Abyssus“ supplied by Vekoma (see EAP 3/2021). During a press conference to close the 2021 season, the park managament has announced new investment plans for 2022, which include the development of yet another theme area named “Sweet Valley“. The candy-themed area will be located between the “Dragon Zone“ and “Aqualantis“ and will feature a total of ten new rides and attractions on a surface area of four hectares.
These attractions include the family coaster rides “Choco Chip Creek“ and “Honey Harbour“, both again from Vekoma, of which the first will be the area’s signature ride. This Mine Train will light up the faces of the riders on a total track length of 1,200 metres. The train will be designed like a locomotive with attached wagons and will offer seats for up to 32 guests and will reach a maximum height of 16,5 metres and 55 km/h maximum speed during the ride. With the second ride “Honey Harbour“, a Kalypso family coaster, the area will offer another family-friendly coaster experience, which will reach a maximum height of 11.7 metres, a maximum speed of 46 km/h and forces up to 2.9 G.
The “Crazy Barn“, the “Choco Valley Mini Tour“ mini flume ride, the “Lollypop Farm“ tractor ride, the “Tree Grove“ interactive carousel as well as the “Tea and Treats“ teacup ride will be additional family-friendly attractions that guests will be able to find in the area. Furthermore, the „Annual Sweet Market“ playground as well as themed F&B offerings will complete the sweet experience. Dutch theming company Jora Vision is responsible for the concept design of “Sweet Valley“.
During a second development phase, the park will also complete a new multi-functional building named “Sweet Valley Town Hall“, which will serve as a restaurant, theater or event location for up to 1,000 guests. (eap)
