01History
In 1956, construction of Silesian Amusement Park started. It opened in 1959.
In 1985, a Ferris wheel named “Gwiazda Duża” was installed (now Legendia Flower).
In 2013, 26 rides were bought from Denmark's Sommerland Syd.
In 2015, Tatra Mountain Resort became a new investor in Silesian Amusement Park. It planned to invest PLN 117 million into the park.
In 2017, because of change of layout and attractions, the park changed its name to Legendia Śląskie Wesołe Miasteczko.
