Amusement park opens in Accra

A family amusement park has been opened in Accra as an addition to the country’s ever evolving tourism and recreational landscape.

Known as the Shornaa Island Amusement Park, the venue will offer a distinctive fusion of entertainment, relaxation and adventure, all set against the picturesque backdrop of a tranquil black water lagoon.

The state-of-the-art amusement park promises to be the ultimate destination for both locals and tourists seeking an exhilarating day out.

Features 

It will put at the disposal of revellers a blend of thrilling rides, cultural experiences and family-friendly attractions. The park features the largest wet and dry inflatable attractions in Ghana, the region’s largest international standard bumper car rides and the first-ever giant piano.

Visitors can also enjoy the first international musical light fountain and giant piano in the sub-region. It will also feature Africa’s first fun house and many more. 

The park also combines educational elements with entertainment, and will continue to add new and exciting attractions.

Additionally, Shornaa Island will feature Ghana’s first-of-its-kind digital cashless payment system from Sacoa, the leading worldwide supplier of revenue management systems for amusement, entertainment and leisure industries.

Significant investment 

Speaking at the launch, held last Thursday, a distinguished diplomat, Dr Mohamed Ibn Chambas, who delivered the keynote address, shared the importance of such investments in enhancing the tourism and leisure sectors in the country.

The President of XtremeFun Ltd, Magnus Lincoln Quarshie,  expressed delight in seeing Shornaa Island Amusement Park become a reality, emphasising the joy and excitement it would bring to families and visitors of all ages.

The launch brought together both local and international partners, including the International Vice-President, Sales and Marketing of Vekoma Rides Manufacturing, Peter van Bilsen; Trade Commissioner of the Italian Embassy, Luigi Puca and representatives of the La Traditional Council, all of who shared goodwill messages. 

Guests then embarked on a guided tour of the park, led by the park’s General Manager, Richard Lee, who gave them a first-hand look at the exciting attractions on offer.

“We’re thrilled to finally welcome the public to Shornaa Island amusement park. This grand opening is just the beginning as we plan to introduce even more exciting attractions in the future,” he said.
