Overview

Belantis is eastern Germany's largest amusement park, situated on the site of a former open-cast lignite mine. The park is divided into eight themed worlds including the Valley of the Pharaohs, the Beach of the Gods, and the Land of the Counts. It features 'Huracan', a roller coaster with a 95-degree drop and five inversions. The 'Drachenritt' is a family-friendly roller coaster integrated into a medieval castle structure. The 'Fluch des Pharao' is a large-scale log flume ride set within a 38-meter-tall pyramid. The park caters to diverse age groups with attractions ranging from carousel rides for toddlers to high-adrenaline thrill rides. It functions as a seasonal park with operational periods primarily from spring through late autumn. The park utilizes the surrounding artificial lake landscape of the Leipzig New Lakeland project.
