A day in High Chapparal "Wild West" Theme Park , Sweden

in #travel8 years ago

Howdy Folks , we done some visit to Wild West Theme Park in Sweden , near city of Varnamo .

Park was opened in 1966 ( this year was 50 anniversary ) by Bengt Erlandson aka Big Bengt . Sadly Mr. Erlandson has passed away this year in March.

Entrance fee is around 25 EUR depending of month . It stages several stunt shows every day so it is very easy to catch what you like . It is great for kids . Different areas cover American Civil war , Indian , Mexican and Wild West themed area , it has a museum , restaurants , shopping are and so on .

We didn't know that area is so big so on end of the day we where exhausted .

What is theme park without Dalton bros in a walk with a Lucky Luke heheh

On a Mexican area we arrived just in time for Zorro , and here he is in all of it's glory 

And what do we know , in a second guns started to blaze 

Zorro doin what he knows best , 3 vs 1 fight 

As we all know Zorro is a magnet for women , so my better half arrives thinking that Mr. Banderas will pop out from somewhere :) , what a heck , you are good to . Stand there and look me in the eyes .

Move on move on , we got plenty to see more . And after few rounds of beer and some burgers we headed to Native Indians area. Show was great . To be honest we don't have much opportunity to see something like this. I was like a kid , let's se this and that , let's go there , it was real fun .

Warrior dance 

Some nice girl too 

They look scary 

In one moment i was thinking that we went back in time 

My wife amusing the Chief , and the crowd around . Later we sit with Chief ant talked a bit , they are in Sweden every year for 3-4 months , getting good money. Really friendly people .

In a Wild West arena some robbery is going down . Really good show , shooting , explosions , girls running .

Some flying action stunts 


End of show . Time to wrap up , i have enjoyed really much , there is so much to see , park is huge with lot of attractions . Specially for kids .  I will go again it is so much fun there .

Thanks for reading

That is what I respect the West shows, they know how to create an incredible atmosphere! it looks like in our country everyone are too lazy for it :)

That place looks like a blast. There is something cool about these old days. Thanks for sharing this Iggy! :)
