Parque De Atracciones Madrid
Parque de Atracciones de Madrid is a theme park inside Casa de Campo park in central Madrid, originally opened in 1969. It's compact but coaster-dense: Abismo (a vertical-lift Maurer coaster), Tornado (an inverted Vekoma boomerang), TNT Tren de la Mina, and Tifón. The park is split into themed zones including Nickelodeon Land for younger families.
Because it's inside the city, the park pulls strong weekend and evening attendance almost year-round. Madrid summers are hot and push crowds into the cooler evening hours. Check live queue times before tackling Abismo and Tornado, and use our crowd calendar to pick a weekday visit outside Spanish school holidays for much shorter waits on the major rides.

PortAventura World sits in Salou on Spain's Costa Daurada, about an hour south of Barcelona, and is one of Europe's largest theme park resorts. The main PortAventura Park runs themed areas (Mediterrània, Polynesia, China, México, Far West, SésamoAventura) and major coasters including Shambhala, Dragon Khan, Furius Baco (with a 135 km/h launch), and the classic Stampida. A separate Ferrari Land with Red Force - Europe's tallest coaster at 112 m - sits next door.
Spanish, French and UK school holidays drive huge crowds to PortAventura, especially during July and August and the Halloween season. Midweek days in May, June and September are dramatically calmer. Check live wait times for Shambhala and Red Force on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a lower-crowd date - PortAventura's resort hotels make multi-day visits easy to plan.
