 |
|
Well, first off I have to say thank you to Robb and Elissa for an awesome time in Spain and Mini-Europe trip. You guys really know how to put on a great trip. Thanks to everyone that went on the trip and everyone I got to know. You all rock!
As for those of you that didn't go on the trip...you suck! (just kidding)
Day 0 and Day 1:
Flying to Madrid sucked. That pretty much sums up the flight. Iberia had the worst customer service on an airline I have ever experienced. Next time I think I'll take a boat over rather than fly with Iberia.
Madrid was a culture shock for me. Everyone was so "nice" and ordering at McDonald's was a trip report in itself. The scenery was pretty amazing and the cars made me laugh. They are so sad and pathetic it's awesome. There's nothing more I love than hearing a car sound like a lawn-mower and barely make it up a hill.
Isla Magica:
Although not a coaster heavy park this place was quite nice. A surprise ERT session in the morning was a good way to start off the trip.
Ok, enough blah blah blah...onto the photos.

Day 2:
Parque De Atraciones Madrid.
I must say that I was very surprised at this park. Abismo was actually very good. Tarantula was INSANE! I loved the Jungle Cruise and SMall World rips offs. And who could forgot the Tuna and Bacon Pizza. Plus, you drink 2 liters of beer and you get a free hat!
One awesome note. Police Officer Rich survived Spanish First Aid! Watch the video!
Thanks to Carl for some additional photos!

Day 3:
Zaragoza with the awesome Bouncy Bouncy ride. This park was a HUGE surprise. Bouncy Bouncy kicked butt especially after dinner, the mini log ride was different and Carl still has a bruise where he hit his head, and Ramses has no words to describe it.
Old man Jeff was at true credit whoring fashion at the park today. Check out the video for proof!
Thanks to Carl for additional Photos

Day...I already lost count...
Port Aventura Part 1!
This was by far the best park (in my opinion) of the trip. This thing had amazing scenery, friendly staff, great food, sweet coasters and really uniques attractions. Plus, the yellow hat club was born and Port Aventura will never be the same!
Check out the video of the yellow hat club getting stuck on Diablo!
Thanks to Carl for additional photos!

Port Aventura Part 2
Furious Bacon...I must say that I had the opportunity to ride this ride on the inside my first 2 times. But after hearing how much worst the outside was I had to try it. I'll put it this way...the outside seats on Furious Bacon is like lying on a bed and having a fat lady jump on top of you and then jackhammer your spine. It was pretty rough.
Anyway, I must say this...I think Port Aventura's show at night was probably the best night show I have seen. I liked it more than Epcot's show. This park was all around amazing and it was a whole new experience at night
Thanks to Carl for additional photos

Tibidabo and Bar-tha-lona
Tibidabo was a surprise and the bus ride there was an even more of a surprise. Just think of the smallest road with the most curves on it and throw in a huge cliff off the side of it...that was the road we took to get there. I must say that this park has an amazing view. I didn't get many pictures from this park but I will never forget the view. I think it has to be the best view at any park I've visited.
Aside from that, it truly had some messed up rides like plane on a stick and skyscraper turned observation scraper. Anyway, this park seems like a challenge made in RCT...it was 6 levels on a hillside complete with glass elevator. Great park
Don't forget to check out the Ghetto Galaxi video
Bar-tha-lona.
WAY different than Madrid. Prettier, busier and smoggier. Larry was our tour guide and he showed us many sights and sounds. The Cathedral was amazing! Onto the pic
