Description
BonBon-Land is a Danish amusement park located in Holme Olstrup in the South of Zealand, about 100km from Copenhagen. This 34-acre park attracts about 450.000 each season.HistoryThe history of theme park BonBon-land can be dated back to when the Danish sweets boiler Michael Spangsberg got an idea to produce wacky candy with such funny names as 'mågeklatter', 'hundeprutter' and 'tissebleer'.From early on the candy became very popular, and children wanted to visit the factory in Holme Olstrup (a small Danish town in the countryside) to see how the cheeky and delicious pieces of candy were made. However, the production of the candy had to fulfil some very strict regulations concerning hygiene, so the factory couldn´t continue to offer visiting tours. As a result, Michael Spangsberg came up with yet another good idea - to open a small Bonbon-land.In 1992, the theme park opened with a mini candy factory, a cinema, a shop and four small boats, shaped like a duck in a small pond. The park was an immediate success with children and over the years many rides and attractions have been added making, despite with adult-oriented contents and toilet humor throughout, Bonbon-Land one of Denmark´s most popular children´s parks (in 2008 it was the eight most popular tourist attraction in Denmark) the park. In 2007, the Spanish-based entertainment company Parques Reunidos purchased the park. In total, Parques Reunidos owns 67 theme parks around the world.From the beginning BonBon-land has focused on experiences that the whole family could enjoy. Today, Bonbon-land has over 60 different attractions and numerous activities on offer. Among the most popular rides in the park are the 4 roller coasters and the 2 water rides. There are also a number of playgrounds and a pirate track that visitors can try out.
