Surely not... European Funding causing a false market?
It amazed me how much money Energylandia screwed out of Europe over time.
A couple of rides, fair enough...but.
Twenty eight million quid on two projects alone...anyone got any clue how much they recieved in total...doesn't seem easy to find?
Great for them and thoosies, not sure that it is a decent way of spending precious taxpayers money.

I don't think Energylandia played much of a role as there is quite a few people who would go to both on their trips.

I think it's because of the poor quality hardware from before Lech got installed which is letting Legendia down the most.

I'd say that the newer installations are a result of Energylandia's success to be honest either to compete or complement.

Personally, if they gradually replace some of the older flats with a package of rides from Zamperla, it would improve the park. There are some hidden gems with the flats however a lot of them are over 30 years old and very much designed for a fairground.

I also think that if Diamond River is removed and replaced with a flume that is comparable to their rapids, I think they'd be on for a hit - Diamond River seems to throw you forwards and wants to smash your knees into the next seat.

A family coaster would also be welcome for Legendia as it doesn't currently have one that is operational.

Legendia seems to have a lot of potential however it's legacy rides seems to let it down a lot.
 
After Lech they've built a modern trackless dark ride, and a rapids.

Not sure if its just a park for locals and its gotten more exposure due to being an hour from Energylandia and Lech coaster giving them international customers.

The flying machines ride was fun, but also scary with the propellers. The big wheel terrified me.

Even a park aimed purely at locals can’t sustain itself with the numbers they get. Or at least if it was in the UK, there’s no way they’d have been able to afford Lech, the trackless and the rapids with that level of attendance. Then again, they have closed a couple of their coasters and several flat rides and replaced them with nothing, so perhaps they are struggling.

Could it be possible that Lech, the Trackless and rapids could've been funded by EU funding like Energylandia was?

It could logically explain why they were able to afford brand new rides that are higher quality.

I believe it was the two Zyklons that have closed in recent years with one still standing where nature is taking over.

In the future, I wonder if some of the rides Energylandia may remove could end up at Legendia however with it being SBF Visa, I'd have thought Legendia would afford it brand new.
