Fort Fun Abenteuerland in the middle of the Sauerland near Bestwig-Wasserfall, North Rhine-Westphalia is a medium-sized amusement park that has developed from the western city Fort Fun City. Even today the western city is still the figurehead of the amusement park. With its large number of family-friendly rides – including the breathtaking Trapper Slider summer toboggan run – the theme park, which belongs to the French Looping Group, is an ideal destination for the whole family..

Fun Fact #1: The Fort Fun Abenteuerland is a seasonal amusement park, but can offer additional attractions all year round. For example, you can ski here in winter or visit the indoor playground Fort Fun L.A.B.S.

Fun Fact #2: The theme park offers a drive-in cinema on selected days. Current films are shown, as well as a selection of classic blockbusters. In addition, during the Covid-19 pandemic, church services, comedy shows and concerts were shown.

Preface

I didn’t intend to drive back to the Fort Fun Abenteuerland via Hesse so soon, but the revised roller coaster Speed Snake was a good reason to do so. In order to avoid the expensive 25€ ride photo this time, I drove through the village Niederwetter out of protest always well below the posted speed limit; to be honest, one doesn’t deserve anything other than artificially caused traffic jams, thanks to the unclear signposting, alleged traffic safety or not. Shortly after surviving the Hessian part of the Sauerland, one passes through the much more beautiful North Rhine-Westphalia, passing a single speed camera at a place where it actually makes sense. Funnily enough, the state on its border with Hesse makes fun of its neighbour, because you could be flashed.

Fort Fun Abenteuerland

Arrived at the park, Sheriff Fuzzy showed us the way to the parking lot and welcomed us shortly after with even more flattering sayings in the park. For some people a little bit annoying, but for most of us quite entertaining. Later in the day he draws the visitors into the shows and performs in them, where he gained cult status some years ago.

Retracking Speed Snake

Beside him, the new Mascot and the unfortunately still closed Funny Fux Bau there is another novelty this year, as the Vekoma Whirlwind Speed Snake has undergone a retracking. It would be wrong to say that the ride would have needed such a treatment, after all it still performed quite well, but it makes sense if you want to use the ride for the next 20 years. The money used for this could have been saved outside of the unfinished repainting of the ride. The ride has definitely changed for the worse, what used to go round and round is now driving strangely angular. This gives a oddly interesting and exciting ride in the corkscrews, but during the course of the ride you get to know the restraints, although quite gently.

Closing Words

Although the visit at Fort Fun was only a rather trivial meeting compared to the previous day at the Holiday Park, it saved me a few hours of travel time back to Hamburg. The novelties of the Fort Fun Abenteuerland are at least pointing quite consistently in the right direction and so a test of the Funny Fux Bau would have been certainly interesting.

Theme Park:	Plopsaland Deutschland (since 2025)
	Holiday Park (1973 - 2025)
	Pfälzer Märchenpark (1971 - 1973)

Operated by:	Studio 100

Plopsaland Deutschland in Haßloch, Rhineland-Palatinate, is one of the most interesting amusement parks in Germany. Although the park is not too large, its large number of German and European premieres makes it one of the most innovative amusement parks in Europe. Since the takeover by the Belgian Studio 100 Group, however, the focus has increasingly been on expanding the amusement park’s family-friendly offering. As a result, there are now significantly more rides in the park, all of which have been designed with great attention to detail.

Fun Fact #1: The roller coaster Expedition GeForce is considered one of the best roller coasters in the world. Since its first season in 2001, it has been voted best roller coaster in the Internet Steel Coaster Poll five times by fans and won the Golden Ticket Award for best steel coaster in Europe eleven times in a row.

Fun Fact #2: The roller coaster Superwirbel, whose corkscrew still decorates the amusement park today, was Germany’s first stationary inverting roller coaster.
