Terra Mítica started last week to show once a week an artwork of park's transformation. Changes are going to be radical, they want to create a big oasis theme park. Terra Mítica's main problem was the lack of green, so they want to re-start again with a new park concept.

This year won't open new rides, but they've been checking all of them to keep them in working order. I hope Synkope (giant frisbee) reaches at 120º. Supposedly, all shows will be new or redesigned.

Here you are two artworks they have uploaded to their Facebook profile, only about Egypt:

Image

In this pic they compare Egypt before and after. It says the park's aim will be to become a heavenly place with big waterfalls and green. They'll reconsider more places where kids can play. Big hot Summer will be transformed in a refreshing sensation. At the main entrance green will be reinforced. Morevoer, there will be a big integrated fountain.

Image

Image

There will be a big change in different views. Alexandria's lighthouse will change its historical position to surround it by green. By this way, they'll try to create more places between eyes' guests and the horizon.

Image

This is the quarry's final appearance. They have done a great work, but it hasn't finished, because it's going to be green too, as you can see in artworks.

Terra Mítica will open its doors again on 16th April, not on 14th. Next week they'll show us other artwork, hope to be about Greece.

I found this park a real odd one. Sadly I never had time to see everything and I was still in serious pain after riding the most horificly-rough-wooden coaster, that I've ever been on!

In front of The Islands zone, where are Ulysses' Rescue and Rapids of Argos, they'll add a big waterfall and surround Alexandria's lighthouse by green.

Sorry, it's in Spanish. The man says what I've been telling on my lasts messages. However, you can see Egypt waterfalls in action.
