History
Construction of Qingdao Fantawild Dreamland began in 2009, as the third large theme park in East China by Huaqiang Fantawild Group, following Wuhu Fantawild Joyland and Tai'an Fantawild Joyland. The project was located in Qingdao's Hongdao area to leverage the city's coastal tourism advantages and create a new "technology + culture" tourism landmark. On September 23, 2011, the park officially opened, receiving 1.5 million visitors in its first year. In 2013, the park added the "Water World" summer project to enrich seasonal experiences. In 2016, it introduced the "Boonie Bears" IP-themed area to strengthen the family market. In 2019, the park completed a second-phase expansion, adding the "Tanggula Snow Mountain" roller coaster and the "Magic Castle" interactive project, with an additional investment of 500 million RMB. During the 2020 pandemic, the park launched the "Cloud Tour Fantawild" online experience, and after resuming operations in 2021, it implemented reservation and flow control measures. In 2023, the park initiated third-phase planning to build the "Sci-Fi Future City" themed area, expected to open in 2025.
