Title: funpark from above
Post by: matchboxluc on January 18, 2007, 17:49:06

Hi,

I recently got myself a new computer and had the ability to download Google Earth... Although I never visited it, I think I spotted the Playmobil Funpark at Zirndorf: ;D

Cool! :D

I've never seen it from that angle before either.  ;)
It looks even bigger than I thought it would be. :o

Thanks, MBL! ;D

It's certainly a new view and very interesting.  The shape of the building in the centre left is interesting.

Maybe if we can get one of the factory design department it might be possible to get advance info on new releases with realtime views! ;D

Thank for posting it, Jean Luc.

Cool!!! Great idea!

Just some days ago I spent hours with browsing around in Google Earth but hadn't the idea to visit the PM Funpark. Does anybody have the coordinates from the other funparks in the world?

E.g., according to the directions description on the PM homepage the Malta Funpark must be somewhere in the middle of this pic. Can anybody confirm this?

Paris ... any further details where it is exactly? Anybody knows?

For Malta, look for a Playmobil castle on a corner site.

It appears to be about 3 km north west of Orly (the airport)...

It seems that the Malta funpark was still under construction when the picture was taken...

Here is a picture of the funpark at West Palm Beach, Florida; it is visible on the left (the towers of the castle):

Good find matchboxluc! I can confirm that, since I was there last month. It looks a lot better from the inside! :D

For those that are interested in this stuff: I've created a Google Earth file containing the locations (uncertain about the Malta and Paris location). It can be downloaded from here (http://www.jr-x.de/playmobil/Playmobil_FunParks.kmz) and can be used directly with Google Earth.

I will update the file in case I got further or more detailed information.
