Is there a Theme Park like Europapark or Gardaland somewhere on the Balkans?

If not, some billionaire should build one, people have enough money to fill it nowadays. Crossroads somewhere "easily" reachable for the "big 4" BG RO GR RS...

Came to write jokes about theft or poor construction but I see y’all beat me to it. You guys never disappoint. 🫡

Once a few highways are finished in Bosnia, Macedonia, and Bulgaria I’d say Thessaloniki is ideal for a massive park.

Its not close to Belgrade or Bucharest though. Just from Sofia its relatively close and same for Skopje.

Vialand Istanbul is a bit expensive for average turkish citizen (40 euro per person, allowed to use anything inside) but it's "the in Anatolia and Balkans"

A construction company making an amusement park in the Balkans would probably steal half the rivets on the roller coasters and sell them to scrappers. And the best part is: they would do it per government instructions.

Would not recommend.

Steel beams would be stolen overnight as well. 😂

Good thing rivets aren't used in main construction since the 60s.

And then a certain national minority fondly called African Croatians would steal the rest. The amusement park wouldn't last a few months.😂

Why?

RammRras@reddit

Because we are not amused

Put that smile away, this is Balkan!

Because the construction company will use some shitty chinese rivets that were procured from the newly founded import company owned by the mayor of the city who imported them from China.

Normally they're run by gypsies over there from what I've seen, and overall I just don't want to go on something that can kill me, whilst knowing the parts are probably not new, not maintained to standard, probably 90% of the parts are fake/2nd hand. Service men are drunk as a skunk, and many many more reasons

Last of it's years it increased prices and did not invest in new toys. Also.. we got broke 😄

shoutout to Europapark, cute concept and nice rides

"easily reachable for the big 4" --> Blagoevgrad, Vidin, somewhere else in western Bulgaria?

No need, get a car and drive around a little, way more intense.

The whole Balkans in a giant amusement park!

There aren’t any parks of that scale in the Balkans. There are plenty of alpine roller coasters. The one ones seating one or two people and you control the brakes but there aren’t really any noteworthy coasters. There’s one park in Croatia called Dalmaland that’s located near Zadar. It’s got 3 coasters and some thrill rides, but that’s pretty much it.

To me, theme parks seem too Western and cringe. We have enough money, but would we spend it there?

[-]

Bro westeners hike more than us and still also go to such parks. I dont see one excluding the other honestly saying.

It’s not the best theme park but there is “Vialand” in Istanbul.

The whole peninsula is one gigantic wild ride.
