History

Zoo Budapest has a complex history which the database cannot reflect properly.
The zoo opened -- two decades before the area's first amusement park.
Old Vurstli opened and was located entirely south of Állatkerti krt, the zoo's southern border road. This park was home to the Hullámhinta. This area has always been outside of the zoo's perimeter.
Old Vurstli closed.
New Vurstli opened north of Állatkerti krt. The Ródli existed in New Vurstli.
Angol Park opened north of Állatkerti krt. and east of New Vurstli. This was home to the Hullámvasút or Magasvasút at that time and the Amerikai Magasvasút.
The coexisting New Vurstli and Angol Park combine to form Vidámpark. The Hullámvasút became the park's only roller coaster and remained so until modern steel roller coasters came in the 1970s.
Vidámpark closed and was incorporated into the Budapest Zoo keeping only rides considered to be of historic significance. This once again made the Hullámvasút, the park's only roller coaster. The area is referred to as Holnemvolt Park.
Holnemvolt Park closed and this is likely the last use of the Holnemvolt Park name.
The entire area that was Vidámpark was cleared excluding the Hullámvasút.
Construction started on the Biodome which occupies most of what was Vidámpark.
The Biodome opens housing many of the park's existing animals -- not as the one-of-a-kind tropical attraction as originally planned.
