Built by Beto Carrero, a dreamer and an achiever, Beto Carrero made the park what is is today. The park has plenty of attractions for younger as well as older children and for adults too. Some of the major highlights of the Beto by Gabriela Sakamoto Carrero World are their superb shows; Madagascar, which is based on the movie Madagascar is a favorite among the kids and The Extreme show involving cars, motorcycles and truck stunts is also a crowd puller. Of course, no theme park is complete without adrenaline-pumping rides and Beto Carrero World has monsters like the Big Tower & FreeFall, Star Mountain and the FireWhip. The park also has a Zoo which is home to many exotic animals. In addition, Beto Carrero World pays special attention towards enlighting children with various cultures through interactive displays and the German Village is one such example. The park is so vast, that one day isn't really sufficient to explore the place, it is isn't called Beto Carrero "World" for no reason! So keep a minimum of two days from your vacation aside to soak in all the fun at this terrific amusement park. +55 47 3261 2222 www.betocarrero.com.br [email protected] Rua Inácio Francisco de om.br Souza, 1597, Praia de Armação, Penha Universal Studios "Wo Filme gemacht werden" Die Universal Studios, eine etablierte Attraktion in Hollywood, sind ein Muss für jeden, der den Nervenkitzel und die Aufregung eines Themenparks genießen möchte.

  • André Rieu in Wonderland
    André Rieu in Wonderland A walk through the amusement park "Efteling" where this DVD was recorded. Version 1.4, Jun 2011 The Wonderland walk. Page 1 of 34 Introduction In the summer of 2007, André Rieu and the JSO recorded the DVD “Wonderland” in the fairytale park “Efteling” in The Netherlands. From several people we received requests for more information on this park. In this document we provide some useful information (how to get there, opening times, etc.) and a "Wonderland walk" through the park, passing by many places you will see in the “Wonderland” DVD. History of the “Efteling” Ask any Dutch person above the age of 40 about the “Efteling”. Ten to one they all give you the same answers: “the flying carpet”, “dancing red shoes”, “musical mushrooms”, the “trains” and “Long Neck”, to name a few. Below a picture of my brother and I in one of the little trains. I was about eight years old at that time (±1963). The other picture was taken recently (April 2008). I don’t know why, but it looks like those trains have shrunk quite a lot, but you still have to peddle like a madman to get around the track in a record time. And still no brakes, but good bumpers. But most important: all those popular attractions from the early days of the park are still there and in high demand! The history of the Efteling goes back to 1933, when a few people had an idea to start a sports park with a soccer field and a small playground.
