Aqua Magic, $4m investment

Aqua Magic amusement park, a $4 million investment, was dedicated in the Mamaia Resort on Tuesday. The dedication was attended by Transports, Constructions and Tourism minister Miron Mitrea and by former Tourism minister Dan Matei Agathon. The park is located at the entrance to the resort, on a 2.2 ha plot of land, provided by the Constanta City Hall for concession. “Aqua Magic is the most modern aquatic park in Romania, and the authorities hope it will attract as many tourists as possible so that the investors could recover their investments in a short period of time,” independent councillor Nicusor Constantinescu was quoted as saying by Mediafax. Aqua Magic is equipped with various installations such as a “twister”, a 50 metre long and 11 metre tall chute, a “kamikaze”, a “black hole”, a 88 metre long tube (1.4 metres in diameter) with interior lighting. The park can accommodate about 3,000 visitors a day and will function as a skating rink during winter. ZF
