Called Legendland, the Croatian amusement park will have six different zones and a water park.

It hopes to open by 2027 outside of Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.
They have big plans from creating six different worlds within the resort with some of the biggest rides being an Intamin LSM rollercoaster, a hyper coaster and an Aquatrax.
But, creators are still waiting for funding and the go-ahead.
Their website states Legendland will be the first “Slavic theme park in Southern Europe” and one of “Europe’s leading theme parks, where visitors can enjoy the sun, beach and the exquisite Mediterranean cuisine.”
While they haven’t secured land to build the amusement park, Legendland founders have made AI images and have even created a map of attractions which include 40 rides.
The six zones around the park will be based on Croatian history and mythology through time.
Neanderthalica is inspired by Neanderthals and have rides set in caves, mines and water rapids.
There’s also Antiquitica, The First Kingdom and Luka Renaissance.
In the Gothica zone, which is inspired by the 17th and 18th centuries, there are gargoyles, witches and vampires.
Gothica attractions include a house of horrors exhibit, and a ride with two swings that reach 62ft.

There’s also the ‘Tesla Institute for Time Travel and Monsters’ which features a huge drop tower and a rollercoaster with a top speed of 86mph.
They also want to open a huge water park with a lazy river with a variety of slides from tornado to racing and a Skybox slide where you fall into the water tunnel from a see-through tube.
As for food and drink, there’s a plan to have six themed restaurants on site from classic pub food to romantic dining, and one place where you can cook your own steak.
The organisers are currently asking for people to subscribe as a sign of support in the hope that public interest will secure land and they can get building.
Until then, the park is no closer to getting the sign off to be built.

Their original site was in Zaprešić, a town 18 miles from Zagreb, but Legendland creators have been unable to secure it so far.
There are lots of theme parks in Croatia, but most of them sit on the coastline where tourism is higher, rather than inland.

Use these tips on your next theme park trip
Next time you visit a theme park, you may want to use our top tips to make the most of your adrenaline-inducing day out.
- Go to the back of the theme park first. Rides at the front will have the longest queues as soon as it opens.
- Go on water rides in the middle of the day in the summer – this will cool you off when the sun is at its hottest.
- Download the park’s app to track which rides have the shortest queues.
- Visit on your birthday, as some parks give out “birthday badges” that can get you freebies.
- If it rains, contact the park. Depending on how much it rained, you may get a free ticket to return.
