Fantasilandia is a Chilean amusement park. The park opened in 1978 and is located in a corner of O'Higgins Park in Santiago, Chile.
History
On January 28, 1978, the park opened for the first time, with just 8 attractions including the Galaxy coaster, Mansion Siniestra, Ford T and Century 2000, among others. Over the years the park has replaced many of its classic rides with modern rides like Top Spin, Xtreme Fall, and Boomerang.
In late 2007, Fantasilandia opened a new shoot the chute ride called Tsunami to replace the old ride Splash. It was built in Chile under licence of Intamin of Switzerland. With this milestone the park celebrated its 30th anniversary. The ride Villa Magica also opened in the Kids Zone, located next to Cine Magic 3D and fast food locations.
In 2008 Fantasilandia opened the second Vekoma Suspended Looping Coaster in South America. It is called Raptor and cost around US$10,000,000. In 2009 three new rides opened in the Kids Zone area, including Rockin' Tug, Toing & Boing, and Buggy Jump, all of them made in Italy by Zamperla.
In late 2010 the Wave Swinger (a flying chairs ride) made by Zierer was opened and is called Volare. A German-built Condor ride called Ikarus was introduced in late 2011. In December 2012, Fantasilandia added an Air Race ride, built by Zamperla, to celebrate 35 years since the opening of the park. A year later, the S.D.C Galaxy rollercoaster was closed due to an accident and the Fun Karting ride was removed. Also a restaurant with a kiddie theme was added in front of the Air Race, and construction began for the new Mack Rides Twist 'n' Splash ride, which opened 21 December 2013. In December 2014, Fantasilandia soft-opened the Moby Dick ride, manufactured by Wisdom Rides, which opened officially to the public in January 2015.
