“The Czech Republic lacked not only a roller coaster, but also a large amusement park, as we know it from most European countries. We therefore decided to merge with the Belgian company Plopsa, which operates eight amusement parks in Europe and brings a concept to children from all over the Czech Republic in Prague, which is enjoyed by millions of satisfied visitors a year, ”explained Otala Jerman, Majaland Praha’s project director. “The whole park, individual attractions and the accompanying program are thematically tuned in the spirit of the fairy-tale characters of the bee Maya, Vilík and the Viking Vik,” he added.

The most expensive entrance fees to Majaland have people taller than one meter, you will pay 499 crowns on weekends and holidays, and less a hundred crowns less. The operator also promises discounts and lower admission on weekdays.

As elsewhere, current regulations regarding covid-19 must be followed. Before entering, I must prove you with a certificate of vaccination or covid disease in the last 180 days. PCR testing not older than 72 hours can be submitted by persons from 12 to 18 years of age who cannot be vaccinated for health reasons, vaccinated persons and persons on a business trip. Children under the age of 12 do not need to provide any confirmation if they do not show symptoms of covid-19. Children under the age of 6 are not required to wear a mask or respirator.

The attractions include a 220-meter-long roller coaster, which takes up to 550 people every hour at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, a ten-meter-high carousel, a 33-meter slide, giant swings and a racetrack. “Majaland is an amusement park with everything. In addition to attractions, it will therefore offer, for example, a children’s theater, a toy store and a restaurant, “said Otto Jerman.

The roller coaster returns to the metropolis after several years. One, called Cyklon, stood at the Exhibition Grounds from 1974 to 2018. However, the modernization of the planned space had to give way. The huge roller coaster then ran until 1935 in Eden in Vršovice and its length exceeded five kilometers.
