Mirabilandia is in Pernambuco since 2002. Today it's one of the best amusement parks in Brazil. Result of a partnership between the group peixoto and an Italian group, the operation began with 15 rides and 1 coaster but today it has more than 30 attractions, and it is the Brazilian park which made the largest investment by buying new attractions. The Mirabilandia is the only fixed amusement park in the Northeast. The park features 35 attractions in categories frightening, radical, and family. It also has medical clinic, coat check, sanitary sector, lost and found, a lounge with games and a stage for plays and musicals. The park also has special programs such as the educational project "Lessons in the Park" which takes children and young people from public schools and private lessons for multidisciplinary education using the park as scenery and attractions as learning tools.
In addition, the park has several themes such as "Fazendinha Mirabilandia" the "Gardens" and "Rio das Pedras" which has the goal to greater awareness about ecological and nature. The park is being expanded for high demand.
Every month from October to December are the presentations of "Time of Terror" a terrifying event with an opening that starts at 18:00 and at the end of the show featured actors of monsters walk in the park frightening everyone to come forward. Each year the event has a different theme:
The park has 35 attractions, not counting games and contests, which are paid separately. As the Mirabilandia uses a rotation system of attractions with the other two traveling parks, Universal Park and Golden Park, rides vary from season to season (except the coasters). One of the great attractions of the park is the roller coaster Super Tornado Dutch company Vekoma which was bought at scrap value of the Luna Park when the rollercoaster was covered with rust, but the park has reformed and is now in full operation. New for the 2010 season is the Extreme and Move it (only in the country), two toys super radical. The park bought a new roller coaster, parts of it have entered the park and is scheduled to launch in early 2011 with the name Sky Mountain.
