Lech, Czech and Rus' are the legendary ancestors of the slavic peoples. They were brothers that went on a hunting trip, were they followed different animals. Rus' moved to the east and became the ancestor of the Eastern Slavs (Russians, Belorussians and Ukrainians), Czech went west Bohemia were he became the ancestor of the Czechs, while Lech followed his prey northwesz and became the ancestor of the Lechites (aka the Poles). While the story has no basis at all in history and is only known from the 14th century onwards, at least what it got right is that the unification of Poland in the early medieval period happened from the northwestern part of the country.

Ok, to put things into context....Legendia was bought by new owners in 2015....they basically rebranded the park, rebuilt the entrance, and built some new signature rides - the dark ride, Lech, and ultimately the rapids. When they started, Energylandia was still not a thing - it was just a small park in the fields. Lech actually opened in 2017 as the tallest and largest coaster in Poland. It was only after that that Energylandia went on a rampage, and being just an hour away, totally stole the available audience - which is the reason why Legendia is pretty empty most of the time and some of the rides are abandoned. Lech is still worth the hype though - it's themed to the mythological founder of the Polish state and it even has its own music theme and a preshow (which is turned off nowadays). It stands its own agaisnt Zadra and Hyperion and still is the best themed coaster in Poland (which is not that difficult considering Energylandia's cheap and tacky and/or half finished theming).

Yes, they should totally now sell the fact that they are so close to Energylandia and seek further government funding too so that this area of Poland can really become THE rollercoaster/theme park area in Europe ❤

I feel bad for Legendia, it was really unlucky for them that Energylandia opened so close by and became what it is today. I am sure the investors would put more money into the Park but they know they cant compete with Energylandia next door.

So fun fact. Almost 10 years ago, back when this park was still just a typical Polish amusement park with a bunch of cheaper second hand fair rides, they bought a ton of stuff from a Danish theme park that had just gone defunct. That park was named Sommerland Syd, it was located near the Danish/German border, and I actually went there just one week before they went bankrupt. The Scary Toys factory coaster is from there, it was known as Himalaia at both Sommerland Syd and Legendia before the rebrand in 2017. The weirdest thing about it was that it was self operated. Like you would board one of 2 cars on the circuit in the front loading area, pull down the lapbars to a good enough amount, and when ready push a big green button next to where the carriage sat and that would activate a drive wheel that'd dispatch the ride. Kinda crazy in retrospect but its a decent little coaster. And that makes for 2 self operated coasters I've managed to ride. Also I'm 99% sure that the looping bicycles are the same ones that used to be at Sommerland Syd, they famously had some which were exactly identical, just painted fully red when they were there. And yeah Sommerland Syd was quite the place. They had a Vekoma Invertigo there for some years as their star attraction (and Denmarks at the time largest coaster, it looked HUGE) but had to sell it in a last ditch effort to keep the park alive for another season.

Seeing legendia makes me very sad you have 2 amazing rides with lech and that dark ride you can see the potential of the park a few years ago it looked really good with so many rides and now they are all shut because energylandia opened so close with so many insane rides and a hell of a large budget

Love that you made it into a travel vlog as well as just the parks. Just us more of an insight into your trip, look forward to the next one!

Devil's Loop was my first inverting coaster as a young boy when it was first based here in the UK at Lightwater Valley. It's not aged well by the looks of it, but it is nearly 35 years old. 😅

The twin looping coaster was my first inverting coaster as a kid at American Adventure, so many great memories re-riding that thing over and over. It used to only have a 1m height requirement back in the day but was quietly bumped up to a 1.4m one year.

Fun fact: that twin looping coaster used to be called The Iron Wolf / The JCB coaster at my old home park in the UK called The American Adventure... the park closed years ago, and I remember that coaster being rough and uncomfortable way back when it operated there!

Wow, I too recall the American Adventure, from the midlands, was a park from my childhood, used to go to Alton, Drayton, and American adventure in rotation in my childhood. The AA was a great small scale park but ran into financial troubles which was a shame, it was so close to Alton and Drayton an arms race it could not compete in, fun fact its final owner was the late John Broome, founder of Alton Towers, who sadly passed aged 80 this year, something interesting Taylor and Sarah and others may not know, he is survived by his son Will and his current company, in 2015 he had bought Cornwalls Crealy Adventure park and 200 acres of adjacent land, with plans to turn a family park into another top tier UK park, I don't think with covid and everything else if his company achieved it, but it is a sad day for the passing of one of the UKs giants of the industry and its history, he ran the towers from the 70s to 1990 when he sold it to Tussauds and moved on to other projects, saving the American Adventure was one of them, but he didn't strike gold second time around.

Smart play getting in Legendia before Energylandia which BTW, cannot wait for that video 😎

I went here in June, and you can tell Legendia is not thriving. It was basically a ghost town, while nearby Energylandia was absolutely slammed. It's a shame, I think it's a pleasant and clean park with some interesting heritage rides. What can Legendia do to get some of that sweet EU cash that Energylandia is doing so well off of? Music wise, this park indeed seems to have an "anything goes" mentality. At one point I heard a medieval version of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. I had the exact same mishap in the Lech queue line! So bizarre. Some signs would have helped. I have no idea if I like Lech coaster. It's right on the cusp of what is too intense for me to enjoy. I spend half the course greying out. I could stomach only two rides. It makes Legendia a must-visit for thrillseekers, but I imagine it's not the accessible, fun-for-all standout ride Legendia needs to bring in local crowds and families. The zoo next door was busier.

Respectfully, after looking at this park, I’m NOT SURE WHAT I JUST WATCHED

Hello how are you guys doing I really enjoy this video vlog it was awesome 👍 and I just hope that you guys are okay safe travels. That's a nice Park it looks so different there wow and the food looks so good 😋 take care and stay safe.

When I went to legendia I enjoyed my day in the end as most of the day it was raining and keeping the rides shut but eventually I did get all the coaster credits I could, Lech Coaster in my opinion is the best vekoma

What you probably don't know is that this was the first theme park ever established in Poland, in 1959 - hence "strange" location of some of the attractions. This place a loooong tradition and the surrounding park etc.are a staple of Silesia. It's very sad to watch, cause it should be thriving and not be weird and half abandoned like this 😢

"we are officially airborne" 🤣

I’m pretty sure Dream Hunters Society was my favorite early 90s band.

I feel like purely visually-speaking, that coaster (Lech?) looks like Velocicoaster and Hagrid’s Creatures had a baby. The setting is like the wooded scenes of the motorbike ride, but the track sort resembled Velocicoaster, and that first drop. Obvi I’ve never been to Poland though lol

I'm just 7 seconds into the video and it feels very weird, because i've never thought that i would see a subway with Aplerbeck on the front on an american theme park/rollercoaster channel. But it feels weird in a very good way.

When I eventually get to energylandia I will have to come here too!

Hi guys, I was looking forward for your opinions on the Lech coaster, it's my favorite roller coaster in Poland! If you like to visit Poland again, let me know, I can help you to figure it out as I guess Poland is sometimes a weird country.

The establishing shots of the train at the beginning made me think I was watching a Geoff Marshall video for a moment.

I see a familiar face from my 2021 September trip in that group :DDD What's up Adam ! Also went there in June (and Energylandia ofc), park is so dead and sketchy it's a bit sad to see, but Leech is such a G-force monster ! So sad you need to wait 10min after each cycle for the train to fill up (and in the end it still doesnt fill up anyway) and/or walk all the way around again.

That dream coaster looks like the galaxy coaster ride at blue bayou and Dixie landin park in Baton Rouge Louisiana home to the ragin Cajun boomerang coaster

Yeah afaik from what others have said, 2017 was pretty much the peak of their existance. They had just gotten a new management who had invested in Lech coaster and the dark ride and a bunch of theming. But Energylandia, which not only receives EU tourism development funding, but also is controlled by a pretty big and profitable corporation, completely outshined Legendia and has stolen away any and all of the audience that they were trying to capture. I mean in 2017 Energylandia was still mid sized, but from when they opened in 2014 to now they've become one of the world's largest theme parks in just 8 years. They know where to get the money for expansion from and they sure are abusing the heck out of it. IDK if its sustainable though, like IDK if Energylandia is even profitable on its own.

Six Flags New England (home of Wicked Cyclone and Superman: The Ride) and Lake Compounce (a small but charming park that has the mighty Boulder Dash, a bucket-list ride for any woodie fan) are less than an hour's drive from each other. Those parks alone get you the three most elite coasters in the New England region, and a bunch of others. SFNE's atmosphere is not the best but Compounce makes up for it. You could also hit Quassy about 30 minutes from Compounce, a tiny park that has one of the first Gravity Group junior woodies. My home park, Canobie Lake Park, is about 2 hours further on from SFNE, but that's going a bit further afield for another small park. It has a beautifully preserved 1930s woodie and a small, cleverly themed Gerstlauer Eurofighter.
