Walkable heart in Traumland Park, 1990

The Traumland Park emerged from the Kirchhellener Märchenwald (opening: July 7, 1967) and existed from 1977 to 1991.

The attractions of the dreamland park were Europe's largest dinosaur open-air museum (an area with life-size dinosaur dummies, see also the dinosaur park ), the roller coaster Super-Spirale and the walk-in heart (the largest heart in the world, construction a few years before the park closes). In 1979 there was also the then new 180-degree cinema Cinema 180 , also called Cinema 2000 .

The dreamland park was opened on May 19, 1977 by Lena Valaitis , but sold in 1986 due to financial problems (debt of 22 million  DM ).

In 1986 it was reopened as Das Neue Traumland . The new operators were also denied sufficient success, and so the park finally closed on August 31, 1991.

successor

The Bavaria Film opened in 1992 at the same place after a far-reaching transformation of the Bavaria Film Park . Unlike the conceptually similar Bavaria Filmstadt at the corporate headquarters in Geiselgasteig near Munich , this branch closed at the end of the 1994 season due to a lack of public interest.

In 1996 the Warner Bros. Movie World opened there , which has been operating under the name Movie Park Germany since 2005 , after the interim operator Six Flags , who had taken over the park from Warner Bros. , withdrew from Europe.
