Theme Park Review's Spain/Mini-Europe 2007 Tour!

Spain 2007 Tour
Isla Magica    Parque de Atracciones Madrid    Parque de Atracciones Zaragoza   PortAventura  
Tibidabo   Festilandia   Terra Mitica   Parque Warner Madrid
Mini-Europe Tour
 Wild-und Freitzeitpark Klotten    Tripsdrill    Holiday Park    Toverland    Phantasialand

While Zaragoza was the 'surprise' of the trip, PortAventura was certainly the 'highlight' of the trip.  We spent a very relaxing 3 nights on
property.  The whole resort is very "Disney" or "Universal" like in the sense that by staying on property it gives you a lot of flexibility
to come and go from the hotel, theme park and water park as you please.  There is a lot to do at both parks, and the resorts are
fantastic!  You'll see over the next few pages that it's a place that you can easily spend a few days at, and just have a great time relaxing at!

Furious Taco was the new for 2007 coaster and this ride was INTENSE!

The theming of Furious Bacon is very odd.  A bunch of monkey's get mischievous in a winery.  Yeah.

This is how monkeys have sex.

See, the trains are themed to wine barrels.

Once the doors open, the train is advanced in into the pre-show room where you'll see the monkeys in action.

You're doing it wrong!

If I could read it, I could explain it, but it just looks like some messed up crazy stuff to me.

Hehe...monkeys on bicycles.  Awesome.

You launch VERY quickly out of that little box. 0 to 84MPH in 3.5 seconds.

You launch right into a hill for some serious airtime!

Around the muddy curvy bit.

Into the blue yonder.

Turn into another box.

And then you do what may be the best heartline spin EVAR!

Do a sexy little jig over the water.

"Tonka."  That's Japanese for "I'm a credit whore"

"Hi I'm Hot Fuzz.  I can hand cuff you and hog tie you and get away with it.  Wanna go out on a date?"

Hey Chris...what does that say?

"This sucks."

"I'm crazy Furius Baco guy!"

There is something very "Herbie Hancock" about this.

"Raise your hands....if you're Sure!"

It's beautiful!  Don't look at it Marion!

The water isn't real.  It's made out of Styrofoam.

If you're really good you can grab some wine grapes as you fly by.

It might be rough, but OMG it's sooooo good!
