Energylandia is an amusement park located in Zator, Lesser Poland, in southern Poland. It is approximately 50 kilometres (31 mi) away from Kraków[2] and 335 kilometres (208 mi) away from Warsaw,[3] Poland's capital city. Energylandia is the largest amusement park in the country,[4] at 70 hectares (170 acres).[5] The park has nineteen roller coasters, making it the second most of any theme park around the world, only behind Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California which has 20. [6]
History
Energylandia opened on 14 July 2014. For its first year, there were three roller coasters: the Frutti Loop Coaster, Mars and the Viking Roller Coaster. In 2015, three more roller coasters opened, the Energuś Roller Coaster (a Vekoma Junior Coaster), Roller Coaster Mayan (a Vekoma Suspended Looping Coaster/SLC), and Dragon Roller Coaster (a Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster). In 2016, the park opened Formuła, a launched roller coaster manufactured by Vekoma.[7]
In October 2016, the park announced another three new coasters to open for the 2017 season: a boomerang-style family coaster, Circus Coaster and Happy Loops.[8] The park also announced major plans for a new hypercoaster that would open for the 2018 season.[9] In October 2017, the name of the new mega coaster was revealed to be Hyperion.[10] In addition to Hyperion, the park opened an Intaminwater-coaster called Speed for the 2018 season.[11]
In September 2019, it was announced that a new land called Aqualantis would be opening in April 2020, which would feature a brand-new steel roller coaster called Abyssus. The coaster is a Vekoma Shockwave-model coaster.[13] In addition, a second Vekoma Family Boomerang would open to complement the new attraction. The opening of Aqualantis was delayed to July 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2022, a new 53 meter-tall Ferris wheel called Wonder Wheel was opened in the park alongside a new area in the Energylandia water park called Bamboo Bay.[15] On 10 September 2022, the Zadra roller coaster was placed on the list of 50 best roller coasters in the world by American magazine Amusement Today.[16] A new Vekoma Mine Train called Choco Chip Creek was announced for 2022 to be a part of the park's new Sweet Valley area. The project got delayed to a 2024 opening.[17]
The park features many attractions, for all ages, including several giant rollercoasters, numerous children’s rides, water rides and more. Attractions are split into different lands or 'zones' with specific themes, each varying somewhat as to the extremity of its featured rides. There is also a water park which consists of four large water “playgrounds” and play structures for children, ages 5–12. The four zones and their attractions are:
Fairytale Land
In Polish, 'Bajkolandia' (meaning ‘fairytale land’) is for the smallest of children visiting the park, featuring very mild roller coasters, carousels and numerous colourful, child-friendly attractions.
A coaster tailored towards younger kids and families, with a twisted layout of approximately 335 m (1,099 feet) of track, hits a top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph), and travels up to a height of 13 m (43 ft)
Families can board ships that will travel up and down in the same manner as a ferris wheel. This attraction is a great sightseeing opportunity for younger children
This attraction lets families test their aim with water guns and put out the fire of a building in the ride's centre.
Family Zone
In Polish: 'Strefa Familijna'. This zone of the park features attractions for the whole family, adults and children alike. It also features many so-called 'interactive' attractions like Splash Battle.

Accidents
On August 16, 2018, a 37-year-old employee was struck and killed by a roller coaster train on the Hyperion coaster. He was attempting to retrieve a guest's phone when he was struck.
On June 13, 2019, three people were injured when lightning struck a restaurant building near a pool.
Controversies
In 2019, the employee handbook contained a declaration of faith to be signed by the employee, including affirmations such as "I believe that God will give me everything I need to be successful". Energylandia's spokesperson stated that it comes from Napoleon Hill's The Law of Success and was intended to be purely motivational in nature, rather than religious.[49]
