Ratanga Junction is an amusement park located in Century City, Cape Town in South Africa.[1]

The park opened in December 1998 as part of the development of the Century City area, adjacent to Cape Town's biggest shopping centre, Canal Walk. Its biggest ride is the Cobra rollercoaster. Part of Ratanga Junction was closed in 2014 to make way for the Century City Square development, with the Diamond Devil Run and Crocodile Gorge rides decommissioned. Diamond Devil Run was reopened as Tren Minero at the Fantasilandia park in Chile.[2] Ratanga Junction is likely to close in 2018.[3][4]
