The castle-themed main entrance to Energylandia, Poland's largest amusement park, welcomes visitors to a day of rides and attractions.

As some of you might know, I am now into my roller coasters, with the bigger and more extreme ones being better to fulfil my adrenaline junkie lifestyle. So, after I got recommended this theme park by one of my Polish friends from work, how could I not go.

Energylandia

4th August

Energylandia is quite a bit theme park being about 170 acres, whereas the Disneyland Paris park is only 140 acres in size and has about 120 different attractions. Did I try all of them, well no, there is not enough time in the day to do that, but there was a shortlist of rides to go on.

I decided to make my way to the other side of the park and start with one of the hyper coasters, Zadra, which is a wooden hybrid coasts and throws you through twists, turns and even upside down. I queued up for the front seat, which is where we had to put goggles on, so nothing went into our eyes as we reach speeds of 121 KPH (75 MPH).

The imposing Zadra roller coaster dominates the skyline of Energylandia, combining a wooden structure with a high-speed steel track for one of the park's signature thrill rides.

On the way back from the other side of the park, I went on a number of different rides that varied from extreme ones similar to Zadra, like one called Abyssus, where there was no lift hill and was a launch rollercoaster that launched you twice, Mayan which is a fairly tame suspended coaster, Grotto Expedition which is a nice relaxing water cruise ride and a water coaster called Anaconda, where I got soaked to the bone.

The last ride I went on which is right near the entrance is the other hyper coaster they have there called Pepsi Hyperion. I again crazily queued up for the front seat and got a pair of glasses again, but this time, we reached speeds of 142 KPH (88MPH), which was insane as it is just above the speed limit for some of the express ways in Poland, which is 140 KPH.
