The project is the fruit of a long-standing vision to transform the region into a modern tourist destination. Although the idea originated much earlier, its implementation required significant investments in infrastructure. Today, thanks to improved road conditions, access is fast and comfortable even for low-riding vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>This first-of-its-kind mountain amusement park in Bulgaria uses German technology <strong>Wiegand<\/strong>, which is a world leader in the production of mountain coasters. This guarantees not only maximum pleasure, but also uncompromising safety on every descent.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #2c3e50;font-size: 28px;border-bottom: 2px solid #e67e22;padding-bottom: 10px\">Location and how to get to the park<\/h2>\n<p>The park is strategically located 12 km from the town of Belitsa and only about 35-40 minutes drive from <strong><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/vbansko.com\/en\/for-bansko\/\" title=\"Day\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"9729\">Day<\/a><\/strong> and <strong>Razlog<\/strong>.
