Compagnie des Alpes just announced that Belantis amusement park in eastern Germany was purchased from Parque Reunidos. It is a return for them to operating theme parks in Germany after the sale of Fort Fun and the removal of mechanical rides from Panorama Park.

Damn, that could end up being a very good thing.

CdA run their parks well, invest in them amazingly, and do well in general. The Eastern part of Germany is lacking a good theme park, and whilst Plohn is vaguely nearby, there's not exactly a lot of competition here. The park could easily be transformed into a really solid attraction with lots of appeal; only a couple of hours from Berlin isn't exactly bad.

Look at what CdA have done with Walibi Rhone Alpes; could very much see them having similar success with Belantis.

Exciting times.

Didn't Parques Reunidos buy Belantis only a few years ago? Good thing it was rescued already, the rot may not have set in as deep yet.

Amazing news!!!! Walibi Germany incoming Belantis has tonnes of lands and tonnes of potential, hope this is successful!

Just dropping my two cents

Couldn’t that be a second parc d‘asterix ?

Asterix is quiet big in Germany as well, plus the park has already some Rome / egyptian theming. I think this would make a lot sense. The park always had a lot potential but nobody really took care of the park.

Walibi Germany incoming

Good be a pretty good idea!

Another good idea.

Both very marketable.

I know this probably isn't entirely relevant although kinda is considering their expansion. I could see Compagnie des Alpes acquiring a UK park at some point in the future.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see Walibi Britain if this happens.

Walibi Pembrokeshire perhaps - we can dream!

When I visited this place I remember thinking 'I am never gonna come back here'.
Wasn't a fan of the place at all. There's pockets of niceness attached with basically zip ties, temporary facilities and as a whole the place just gives off a kind of weird vibe.

I can see why CdA would want it though, the location is great and there's at least some decent foundations there. I even like Huracan quite a bit. Here's hoping CdA can work their magic and convince me that I need to return to Belantis!
