After almost six years of construction, the Monaco model section will open on April 25, 2024, becoming the twelfth themed section of Miniatur Wunderland.
Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco are expected to honor the opening ceremony. “There is probably no one better than Prince Albert II and Charlene of Monaco themselves to be able to comment on the result of six years of construction. It’s a great honor, but of course it also increases the excitement all the more,” reports Frederik Braun.
The Principality’s new highlight on a scale of 1:87 will be a Grand Prix racetrack with highly complex magnet technology for staging realistic Formula 1 and Formula E races.
24 track panels form the heart of the 22 m long race track. Over 100,000 lines of programming code were required to allow the vehicles to drive around the track realistically and always with a new outcome using specially developed software. On completion of the section, the construction costs for the 40 m² section will total over 5 million euros.
Wunderland will close for the opening on April 25 from 2 p.m. and the Monaco section will be open from to all guests from April 26.
We ask for your understanding that only a very small number of journalists can be accredited for the opening. If you have any questions about accreditation, please do not hesitate to contact us.
