Drakula Park: “Transylvanian Disneyland” to be built in Romania!

Csíkszereda (Miercurea Ciuc) in Transylvania, Romania, is set to gain a new tourist attraction: Drakula Park—dubbed the “Transylvanian Disneyland”—is slated for completion by 2027 on a 25.6-hectare site in the Zsögödfürdő district.

The development is poised to become one of the largest and most unique theme parks in Central and Eastern Europe, with a total budget of EUR 56 million. It was spearheaded by András Lénárd, founder of Csíki Beer, and will include the expertise of the Italian company Antonio Zamperla Spa.

The park’s theme will evoke the world of 14th–15th century medieval Transylvania, where visitors will encounter legends like King Matthias and Dracula, experience scenes of Ottoman and Tatar sieges, and explore the diverse cultural heritage of the region’s four major groups: Székely, Saxon, Romanian, and Roma communities. Attractions will include a castle reminiscent of Hunedoara Castle, Székely and Saxon village sections, a Roma camp, and an Ottoman siege camp.

Classic amusement park features such as roller coasters, carousels, and haunted houses will be built in traditional local architectural styles, blending entertainment with historical authenticity.

More than just a tourist draw, Drakula Park is expected to have a wide-ranging economic and social impact on Csíkszereda. The project is set to create 220 new jobs, and according to Lénárd in an interview with Székelyhon, the park anticipates roughly 600,000 visitors annually, potentially boosting the town’s economy.

Mayor Attila Korodi emphasised that the involvement of the Italian partner guarantees quality, but also noted that the city faces major infrastructure challenges. As such, the local government plans to sign a memorandum of understanding to support the project, according to Szereda.ro.
