Dracula Land, a proposed €1 billion entertainment destination in Romania, has taken a major step towards construction with the completion of its masterplan.
After nearly a year of technical, financial and operational development, the team behind Dracula Land has completed the full masterplan for the first phase.
This includes a theme park with immersive zones and dozens of attractions, a 22,500-seat multipurpose arena, a ski slope, an aqua park and spa, a retail outlet, and three themed hotels with 1,200 rooms.
The theme park aims to be one of Europe's most technologically advanced entertainment destinations, while the arena will offer concerts, festivals, esports competitions and sporting events.

The aqua park and spa will include indoor and outdoor attractions and wellness facilities, and will be open year-round to guests and the general public.
Accommodation options at the destination will be called the Dracula Grand Hotel, Dracula Family Hotel and Dracula Hotel.
The plan also integrates shared infrastructure, including parking, green spaces and utility networks.
"The most important work on a project of this scale happens before construction begins," said Dragoș Dobrescu, founder of Dracula Land.
"We have completed the masterplan, advanced the engineering solutions for infrastructure and networks, and started financial structuring alongside discussions with potential international investment partners."
Talks with operators underway
Located on a 164-hectare site near Bucharest, Dracula Land will be financed through private capital and developed in several phases, without public or EU funding.
Per a press release, discussions with operators across the theme park, arena, hospitality and retail sectors have reached an advanced stage, with detailed negotiations underway.
"We are carefully selecting operators, investment funds and private investors who share our vision and long-term objectives," Dobrescu added.
"Selected partners have the opportunity to contribute to an iconic international destination with the potential to generate long-term value and visibility."
