Belantis

Belantis is an amusement park near Leipzig, in the German state of Saxony. The park occupies roughly 27 hectares and was developed as a themed leisure destination rather than as a conventional collection of standalone rides. Its attractions are organized around themed settings and include family rides, water-based experiences, and high-intensity roller coasters. The park's documented attraction base includes more than 60 rides and other attractions. Its roller-coaster portfolio contains four coasters, with Huracan serving as the clearest example of its thrill-oriented offer. Huracan features a first hill and drop that goes beyond vertical and includes five inversions. The park also includes Fluch des Pharao, a water attraction built around an approximately 38-metre pyramid. Its combination of family and thrill attractions gives Belantis a broad visitor proposition for regional leisure trips. Operationally, Belantis was run by Parques Reunidos from 2018 through 2025. The ownership and operating structure then changed during 2025. In April, Compagnie des Alpes was announced as having taken over ownership. Later, in December 2025, Compagnie des Alpes announced that it intended to convert the site into a Parc Astérix park. The available reference does not clarify whether the Belantis name continued during the transition, when the conversion would be completed, or whether all existing attractions would be retained, removed, or re-themed. Consequently, the park's current status cannot be established with certainty from the supplied material.
