BonBon-Land

About

BonBon Land is a 34-acre Danish amusement park located in Holme-Olstrup in the South of Zealand, approximately 100 km away from Copenhagen.

The Bonbon Land theme park dates back to Danish sweets boiler, Michael Spangsberg. He began producing candies with names that children would find humorous, such as 'mågeklatter' (Seagull Droppings) 'hundeprutter' (Dog Farts) and 'tissebleer' (Pee Diapers).

As the candies became popular, consumers began wanting to tour the factory in Holme-Olstrup. However, the factory could not offer tours due to strict hygiene regulations, leading Michael Spangsberg to opening Bonbon-Land.

In 1992, the park opened with a mini candy factory, a cinema, a shop, and four small boats shaped like ducks located in a small pond. Bonbon Land’s park covered an area of 85.000 m² (21 acres), increasing to 110.000 m² (27 acres) after the Beaver Rafting course was finished in 1998. The park was expanded to its current size of 130.000 m² (32 acres) when the ’Vildsvinet’ ride was added in 2003.

BonBon Land was purchased by the Spanish entertainment company Parques Reunidos in 2007.

The most expensive attractions are the Beaver Rafting course, with a price of 32 million DKK (Danish Krones; 4.7 Million US Dollars), 'Vildsvinet', with an estimated price of 25 million DKK (3.7 Million US Dollars), and 'Hankatten,' with a price of 20 million DKK (3 Million US Dollars) as of 2024. The new amusements added in 2010 were 'Svend Svingarm' and a new 4D cinema. In 2012, it was ranked as one of the weirdest parks by Time Magazine.

Bonbon-Land has over 60 different attractions with 4 roller coasters, 2 water rides, various playgrounds, and a pirate track.
