Vertigo Announces, "Colombia - The Right Location"

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Vertigo Theme Parks, Inc. (Vertigo) (Pink Sheets:VTPK), a theme park company
featuring Adrenaline Rush Adventures, today announced a Feasibility study
conducted shows this its Vertigo Theme Park-Buga is very much on track with its
plan to build in Buga. Vertigo Theme Park-Buga is located in Estancia which is
located only two miles from the famous pilgrimage city of Buga, Colombia. This
old city serves as a pilgrimage center for over 2 million visitors a year that
arrive from the different towns and cities of Colombia and the rest of South and
Central America to visit the Basilica de Buga, home to the sacred shrine "EL
Senor de Los Milagros." In Buga, besides the visit to the Basilica, there are
currently few other activities for visitors. Vertigo Theme Park-Buga will serve
as the new tourist magnet to keep visitors in the area.

Vertigo Theme Park-Buga will see the launch of a new kind of Theme Park, a
"Mixed-Use Development," combining many diverse elements in a synergetic fusion.
The site will occupy more than 200 Hectares of land. Vertigo Theme Park-Buga
will be a Theme Park of international standard, a driving force generating a
high profile and the capacity to attract from an immediate demographical area of
5 million people that reside within a three-hour radius, 20 million that reside
within five hours and 200 million that reside in the surrounding countries. The
Park has been built to handle a maximum capacity of 12 million visitors per
year.

Colombia's population is estimated at 44 million with a population growth rate
of 1.5% per year. About one quarter of the population lives in rural areas.
Natural resources are plentiful, and include agricultural land, water for
irrigation, energy resources (oil, natural gas, and coal), and minerals such as
nickel, gold, and emeralds. Colombia has a significant advantage in terms of its
location: it is close to North America with coasts on both the Pacific and
Atlantic Oceans. A wealth of physical resources, a literate and dependable work
force, a robust private sector, competent macroeconomic management, and
political stability are major factors that have explained Colombia's good record
of economic development and social improvements over the last 30 years. Colombia
is considered a medium-sized country in northern South America, sharing borders
with Venezuela, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. Colombia`s economy improved
markedly in 2006, due largely to recovering coffee prices and President Alvaro
Uribe`s strict financial policies. There was increased foreign direct investment
in the Colombian economy in 2005 and 2006, improving the major economic
indicators by an impressive 4 points. President Uribe`s economic and security
policies continued to gain approval from Colombians and he was granted the right
to run for a second term by a constitutional court. Besides fitting all the
criteria of our business model Colombia was chosen as the first park location
for many other reasons, some of the additional reasons are:

* First park in South America built to a global standard
* There is an estimated 22 million people in Colombia under the age of 25
* Colombia has been nicknamed the "Happiest Country in the World"
* Colombians are known to spend 16% of the gross income per year on
entertainment
* Colombia moves holidays to facilitate long weekends, 15-3 day weekends per
year, 3 holidays that last 1 week or longer.
* The area chosen in Colombia already has over 2 million people visiting per
year
* Colombia is currently undergoing a massive updating to its highway systems

Vertigo Theme Park-Buga will create a large social economic impact on Colombia.
The park will ultimately add many thousands of jobs to the country's work pool.
It is our belief that these jobs will aid in Colombia`s economic recovery and
will provide jobs in much needed rural areas. The project will also provide
temporary jobs in the US regions where the roller coasters and other rides are
being manufactured. The project will provide more than $40 million in economic
benefit to those areas.
