Slagharen
Attractiepark Slagharen is an amusement park situated in Slagharen, Netherlands. It also contains a bungalow park and a water park (Aqua Mexicana). It's one of the most visited parks in Europe. It was in the top 20 in 2010 and 2011.
In 1963, shopkeeper Henk Bemboom built a number of holiday cottages on a piece of land around an old farmhouse. As an added attraction, he offered a Shetland pony and a carriage to the occupants of each cottage. Over time, more and more attractions were built, so that the resort gradually developed into a fully-fledged theme park. In 1990 Bemboom gave the park to his children, who sold it to the Spanish group Parques Reunidos in 2012. Bemboom died on May 27, 2014.
The park is divided into two sections, connected by a Main Street which is lined with shops and restaurants. The park has more than 30 rides, including two roller coasters. There are six themes: Indian, Yellowstone, New Orleans, Mexican, Wild West and Jules Adventureland (named after the French writer Jules Verne).
