| Attractions |
Abismo, a Maurer Sohne Extended Sky Loop, can attract a long line. Close by is Tarantula, another Maurer Sohne creation, which features spinning cars that can create a unique experience on every ride. The other major coaster is an Intamin version of the Suspended Looping Coaster, Tornado.
As is the case with all Spanish parks, the water rides are very wet. There are also quite a few intense flat rides (Drop Tower, Frisbee, Pirate Ship, Top Spin, Condor), two shooting rides (Ceuva de las Tarantulas and the always entertaining Desperado), and two rides inspired by Disney, Fantasia and Jungula, which are similar to It's a Small World and Jungle Cruise on a budget.
The Walkng Dead Experience is an upcharge haunted house with limited show times. Groups of 8-10 people walk through at a time. The hours are posted in front of the attraction.
Nickelodeonland exists as a ride area for kids and family |
| Food |
| Buffet Gran Avendia offers all you can eat (burgers, hot dogs, chicken, pasta salads, and even paella) at affordable prices. Throughout the park there are many other quick-service stands/kiosks, which have hot dogs, sandwiches on baguettes, and pizza. Pizzería La Fragua serves individual pizza with traditional (chorizo, sausage) and not-so-traditional (tuna fish) toppings. |

| TPR Notes |
|
In typical Spanish fashion, this park has excellent water rides. However, this park also has two medium-sized coasters that are surprisingly fun.
The park also offers a couple of larger flats (some well run, some not so) and a couple of relaxing rides both indoors and out.
Some things you might miss if you don't research the park are an excellent fun house that looks like a riverboat and an upcharge haunted house that opens at night.
