12-29-07: Day 2: Parque de Attractionnes Madrid

[Dirk_Ermen]

The newest daily update of my TR! Hell yeah, i've been today to parque de attractionnes. Defenatly a fun park.

We started the day off in the park with first a ride abismo. Damn, I can't stop loving the hangtime on the lift and the airtime it has on the camelback! Even the small drop before flying though the station again pulls some great airtime!





After a ride or 3 we saw tarantula was still closed, it was running loads of test runs but not with people. That ride opened later on around 2pm.

Then we went to tornado, the intamin invert. I've heard bad things about it but imo the ride is allright. Not that intense but the hangtime was fun on the 2nd loop [:D] Imo this ride is build in rct when looking at the layout, some 90 degree turns, loops, cork, even the helix has that feeling! Straith turn, then lower a floor, and again straith turn


me @ the corkscrew from tornado


hangtime![8D]

Then we went back to abismo for some more rides untill tarantula opened. Shot some damn nice onride pictures:


My new wallpaper! [redsmoke]



So tarantula opened, there first was a pretty big line... Eventually the line stayed this long and we waited... About all day long it was about 15 min wait... 3 of the 7 cars were on track so yeah, low capacity...





After this we took a walk around the boring parts from the park... lol
We saw some nice theming everywhere but the rides were far from spectaculair...



We also checked out both kiddy coasters. Why the **** do they have this damn rule that you can't ride alone... I had to have a small kiddo next me to ride...

back to tornado... here are some nice onride pix:

The sunset and abismo, damn nice combination


corky


And the first loop, which pulled the most g's from all.

after this back to abismo for the last rides. Seriously, at the end of the day abismo is alot more powerfull! Loved it!





Eventually i saw a friend at the subway station... We chatted some time after in the subway. Pretty funny... We both live in holland and we suddenly saw eachother at a park in madrid




Tommorrow back to Abismo, I love it!
Oh and by the way: I got onrides of all 3 big coasters.
Abismo: 2x with videocam, because different opp wasn't allowed at the end of the day. so also 1x photocam at night.
Tornado: 1x Photocam, wasn't allowed to bring my videocam.
Tarantula: 1x Videocam.

Great photos! I say go to Coasters2k, everyone is there already.

Abismo looks tight.
