Espace Media Group becomes Mystery Park Media Partner and Good building progress thanks to ideal weather conditions

Nov 27, 2001

The Mystery Park Interlaken has entered into its first media partnership. A contract has just been signed with the Bernese Espace Media Group (publisher of the newspaper "Berner Zeitung"). Thanks to ideal autumn weather, construction of the mystery and educational theme park, based on the ideas of Erich von Däniken, is forging ahead at full speed.

"The Espace Media Group presents an ideal partner for the Mystery Park", says Board of Directors President Oskar Schärz, stressing the significance of the new partnership. With the "Berner Zeitung", espace.ch Internet activities, "TeleBärn" television station and "extraBern" local radio, the Espace Media Group is present on all communication levels outside the region. This will enable both partners to attract a wide public to the diverse marketing activities planned for the unique mystery and educational theme park, whether special online activities, customer relations programmes, opening events, camps or workshops.

Thanks to perfect autumn weather, construction on the former military airfield at Matten near Interlaken is forging ahead at full speed. The substructure, including the ground floor slab is now complete. Work will now begin for the roof of the ground floor and central building. Within the next few days, construction will also begin on three of the seven theme buildings.

One of the three theme buildings will present the mighty Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. The last existing of the Seven Wonders of the World was once 146.60 metres high, built of approximately 2.5 million huge blocks of stone. How was it built? What lies hidden behind the slab of stone at the end of the "Gantenbrink" shaft? Ancient architecture of truly monumental proportions. What happened to the skills and knowledge behind its construction?

England's Stonehenge, though the most famous site, is only one of many impressive groups of Neolithic megaliths found all over the globe. Ancient sites full of mystery, surviving down through the ages thanks to their monumental architecture. In the Mega Stones theme building, the Stonehenge megaliths will rise again in all their original impressive might. Visitors will experience this stunning spectacle as if they were actually there, as if it were reality.

The creation of the Mayan building is the most advanced of the theme buildings. Computer animators and visualization specialists from India, the USA, Syria, Australia, Germany and Switzerland are hard at work on presentations which will plunge visitors into the heart of the Mexican jungle. Many fascinating facts including the secrets of the Mayan calendar will be unfolded. Realistic film sequences are also being shot under the direction of Condor-Films, Zurich.

Both budget and timetable for the realization of the Mystery Park are well on schedule. Opening is planned for 7 November 2002, but why not pay a virtual visit to the Mystery Park at www.mysterypark.ch ? Our homepage now records over 120,000 hits per week and may well be one of the most visited Internet sites in Switzerland.
