BonBon-Land
Holme-Olstrup, Sjælland, Denmark
About 100km from Copenhagen lies the 34-acre BonBon-Land, one of the strangest and wackiest amusement parks in the world.
The park's creation stems from Danish candy maker Michael Spangsberg who makes funny candies with names like Mågeklatter, Store Babser, Tisse-bleer, Øre-voks, and Hundeprutter.
(Those names translate to Seagull Droppings, Big Boobs, Diapers, Ear Wax, and Dog Farts!)
After the candy became popular with kids, people started wanting tours of the candy factory, but this was
not possible due to strict hygiene requirements. Instead, Spangsberg opened a small theme park in 1992. BonBon-Land
has expanded a few times since then. In 2007, the Spanish company Parques Reunidos, which owns over five dozen theme parks, purchased BonBon-Land. Presently,
the park has over 60 attractions, water rides, a few playgrounds, and a large number of strange and unusual statues and lots of examples of humorous architecture.
Two coasters have left Bonbon-Land:
- Hvin & Hyl Rutsch was a 2-passenger Sunkid Butterfly self-operated coaster that was here from 1993 until around 2007.
- ZimzalaBon was a Zierer Tivoli coaster that operated here from 1997 to 2002. It reopened with an new paint job, a new character on the train, and the new name of Kaninus. For some reason, it only ran one year before it was placed in storage.
