Plans have been unveiled for Poland's first Theme Park, Adventure World Warsaw, due to open in 2014. The park is situated approximately 30 minutes from the city centre. It is expected to create approximately 1000 jobs, and attract 2 million visitors a year.
The heavily themed resort will include a hotel, water park and restaurants. The designers are aiming for the park to draw comparisons with Alton Towers, Efteling and Europa Park. Whilst there have been no announcements yet as to what rides to expect in the park (although the video on their website might give a few clues!), Vekoma are involved in the development.

Their press release said:The largest theme park in CEECs to be developed in Grodzisk
Mazowiecki
After long wait Poland will finally have a theme park offering a standard comparable to
Alton Towers, Efteling or Europa Park. Adventure World Warsaw will be opened in spring
2014. This magic spot is going to be developed within mere 30-minute travelling distance
from Warsaw, in Grodzisk Mazowiecki. The investment will cover the area of approximately
240 h. It will consist of the theme park, two hotels, an aquapark and the entertainment
area with cinemas and restaurants.
Poland will be able to boast the largest year-round fun park in this part of Europe. Adventure
World Warsaw is the first investment of its kind, combining the theme park with over 25
surprising attractions, 2 hotels offering jointly 800 rooms, Poland’s largest aquapark, as well
as an entertainment area with cinemas, restaurants, shops and clubs. The fun park itself will
comprise five theme islands, with the following working names at the design stage: the
Adventure Harbour, the Creature Lagoon, the Castle Island, the Land of Legends and the
“Polski” Plaza. All kinds of attractions will be available on each island, including super
coasters, water slides, wave pools, interactive fountains, boat cruises or carousels. The yearround
part of the park will include indoor playgrounds for children, interactive shows and
animations and a huge aquapark. All in an amazing scenery of fairy tales and legends.
The funding required to develop the Adventure World Warsaw will be provided by an
international consortium of private and institutional investors having a registered seat in
Luxembourg. Las Palm sp. z o.o. (an LLC) was established to coordinate the process of the
Adventure World Warsaw theme park construction and management. The value of
investments in the first phase of the project will amount to approximately EUR 400 mio.
The construction of the park will commence in spring 2012 - says Peter Jan Mulder, the
President of the Board in Las Palm sp. z o.o. – We expect approximately 2 million visitors
annually in the first phase of the Adventure World Warsaw project.
Owing to Adventure World Warsaw, approximately 1000 new jobs will be created in the
Grodzisk Mazowiecki area. The Park is the first stage of the planned investment. Among
other things, the second phase will provide for the construction of another theme park, an
extensive entertainment village, conference and business centre and a luxurious wellness
centre.
Over 100 experts from all over the world are involved in the development of the Adventure
World Warsaw. The Adventure World Warsaw team comprises such companies as e.g.: AGS
Architects, Jora Vision, Vekoma Rides Manufacturing, Hafema and International Destination
Strategies having many years of experience in the field of theme fun parks.
