Amusement Park “Edenlandia”
The Italian version of Disneyland in the heart of Naples. The oldest and one of the largest theme parks in Italy was inactive for 5 years and reopened on July 25, 2018, after a major renovation. The updated Edenlandia features 38 historical and new attractions, 15 restaurants, numerous food courts, and shops of various brands, entertainment zones, and event venues. Visitors can stroll through toy and souvenir shops, attend a theatrical performance at the children’s theater, listen to their favorite band perform at the PalaEden concert hall, and participate in contests and workshops.
The idea of creating the first theme park with attractions in Italy belonged to two businessmen – Orest Rossoto and Luca Grezio. The “prototype” of Edenlandia was the legendary California Disneyland, which opened in the USA in 1955. The Neapolitan version was built by 1965. A clear reference to Disneyland is the snow-white castle with pointed spires, which still “greets” guests at the entrance.
The amusement park features 38 attractions, some of which have been operating since the 70s. Among the “old-timers” are colorful iron trains that can take you on a journey through almost all of Edenlandia – through fairy-tale worlds with glaciers, jungles, magical tunnels, bridges, and the famous castle. During the ride, passengers encounter Snow White and the 7 dwarfs, unicorns, elephants, camels, Bambi the fawn, and many other inhabitants of the magical land.
Many attractions were built before the park opened. Visitors enjoy riding the new roller coasters, carousels, jumping on trampolines, and competing at the go-kart track.
The park has its own lake, in the center of which is moored a mystical pirate galleon. From the ship, a floating path leads across the lake to a luxurious castle – the symbol of Edenlandia. This is the abode of the mysterious and terrifying Lord Sheidon, as well as many diverse ghosts. Visitors will be startled by unexpected encounters with paranormal phenomena literally at every turn. Talking paintings, magical crystal balls, and living medieval legends – only the brave of spirit will be able to pass all the trials.
The amusement park is open for visits every day of the week except Monday.
