YULLBE WUNDERLAND welcomes its 100,000th guest. Guest

Less than six months after the opening of YULLBE WUNDERLAND, the virtual reality attraction, which was created in collaboration between Germany’s two most popular attractions – Europa-Park and Miniatur Wunderland – is celebrating its 100,000th visit. Guest. In the late morning of September 27, Ben Lennart Endres was surprised by YULLBE initiators Sebastian Drechsler and Stephan Hertz and a celebrating team after his 30-minute excursion into the virtual world. In addition to gifts from the old world, a very special surprise awaited the jubilarian: Ben was scanned using photogrammetry and cloned twice – once on a scale of 1:87 in Miniatur Wunderland and once digitally in the virtual world.

Since April 1, 2022, it has been possible to virtually “shrink into Wonderland” thanks to state-of-the-art VR technology. 100,000 visitors have already tried out this technology wonder and experienced an exciting adventure in the person of small model figures in a kind of walk-in metaverse of Miniatur Wunderland. With this visitor mark, the newly opened VR attraction already ranks among established Hamburg attractions such as the Hamburg Chocoversum or the Planetarium in the first six months of its existence.

Wunderland co-founder Stephan Hertz is more than happy about the success of the first six months: “Ever since Miniatur Wunderland was founded, our guests have been dreaming of actually being part of our miniature world and strolling through the streets of Knuffingen or climbing the Swiss Alps as a little character. We had to wait a little over 20 years for this dream to come true and now we couldn’t be happier about the success of YULLBE WUNDERLAND.” Sebastian Drechsler adds: “The technical innovations of the past two decades have made possible today what was unimaginable back then. With this VR experience, not only are our guests breaking completely new virtual ground, but Miniatur Wunderland has also entered a new digital age.”

The new attraction in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt warehouse district has big plans for the future: the two existing Wunderland experiences will be continuously optimized in terms of graphics and technology, and the operators can also imagine developing another new VR adventure.
