Tropical-Islands-Resort-Germany

This resort is a tropical theme park in Krausnick, in the district of Dahme-Spreewald in Brandenburg, Germany. It is located in the old CargoLifter airship hangar, known as the Aerium, the largest independent room in the world. The hall belonged to the company CargoLifter until its insolvency in 2002.

Tropical Islands is located approximately 60 km south of the center of Berlin and 50 km from the southern boundary of the city. It is close to Briesen/Brand in the south of the municipality of Halbe. The theme park is on the site of the former Soviet airfield Brand, in the Aerium hangar, at just under 70 meters above sea level.

The success of this type of construction as water park promises a second life for many disused hangars still left in the world . While some analysts expect a revival of the aviation airships for military purposes, competing for that space.

The recycling of these ancient structures to give them a reborn use is no more than a warning about the dangers of dream big and that is reflected in the case of Aerium now "Tropical Island"; one megalomaniac dome is daily witnessed one of the most visited attractions is, paradoxically, a helium balloon carrying tourists over the tropical rain-forest growing in its womb.
