Energylandia is an amusement park located in Zator, Lesser Poland, in southern Poland. It is approximately away from Kraków and away from Warsaw, Poland's capital city. Energylandia is the largest amusement park in the country, at . The park has nineteen roller coasters, the joint most of any theme park around the world. Since 2016, the park also contains a water park.
History Energylandia opened on 14 July 2014. For its first year, there were three roller coasters: the Frutti Loop Coaster, Mars and the Viking Roller Coaster. In 2015, three more roller coasters opened, the Energuś Roller Coaster (a Vekoma Junior Coaster), Roller Coaster Mayan (a Vekoma Suspended Looping Coaster/SLC), and Dragon Roller Coaster (a Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster). In 2016, the park opened Formuła, a launched roller coaster manufactured by Vekoma, as well as Energylandia Water park.
In October 2016, the park announced another three new coasters to open for the 2017 season: a boomerang-style family coaster, Circus Coaster and Happy Loops. The park also announced major plans for a new hypercoaster that would open for the 2018 season. In October 2017, the name of the new mega coaster was revealed to be Hyperion.In December 2017, the park published results of the request for quotation for three new rollercoasters that were supposed to be finalised before 2020,including a double launch coaster and a hybrid coaster.The park also applied for a grant to build an innovative tilt coaster, which was supposed to open before 2021,but the contract with Vekoma was abandoned in 2023. For the 2018 season the park opened an Intamin water-coaster called Speed.
On 27 October 2018 plans were revealed for a 150-hectare (≈670 acre) expansion. The first phase was to be the creation of a new themed zone called Smoczy Gród or Dragon Zone in English, of which the headlining attraction is the world's tallest hybrid coaster called Zadra (splinter), referencing the construction material. In November 2018, the designer of the coaster Alan Shilke used their steel I-Box track. He also confirmed that the coaster would exceed the height and speed records of hybrid rollercoasters set by Steel Vengeance in 2018 at Cedar Point. On 20 July 2019, the new zone soft opened, alongside two family coasters: Frida and Draken. On 22 August 2019, Energylandia debuted Zadra, a 62.8 metres (206 ft.) tall Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) creation with a vertical first drop of 90°.
During the 2019 IAAPA conference in Paris, the name for a new themed zone - Aqualantis was revealed. Its main attraction is the rollercoaster Abyssus with a height of 28,5m (93ft.) and two LSM launches propelling the train up to a maximum speed of 100km/h (62mph). It was also announced that from the 2020 season onwards, the park would be open in the winter, from the end of November to the beginning of January.
In April 2020, the beginning of the season was pushed to May 16, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The opening of Aqualantis was later pushed to 2021.
On 5 April 2021 the water park received a two hectare (4,9 acre) expansion containing the new section called Exotic Island. Five days later, the soft opening of Aqualantis took place, with the official opening alongside the two rollercoasters happening on 14 July 2021. On 22 October 2021 the park announced the new land of Sweet Valley alongside two family coasters: Honey Harbour and Choco Chip Creek, both created by Vekoma.
In 2021, the park was listed as one of Google's top ten most-searched tourist attractions in Europe (8th place), alongside the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the Sagrada Familia, Germany’s Europa Park, the Colosseum and Milan Cathedral.
In 2022, a new Ferris wheel called Wonder Wheel was opened in the park alongside a new area in the Energylandia water park called Bamboo Bay. On 10 September 2022, the Zadra roller coaster was placed on the list of 50 best roller coasters in the world by American magazine Amusement Today.
On 27 April 2024, the official opening of Sweet Valley took place.
In the first months of 2026, the park began construction of a new zone, alongside at least one big rollercoaster.
