Port Aventura--Dragon Khan ---http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery760.htm

One awesome coaster that i will hopefully have the privelidge of riding next year. Port Aventura Also have a massive deuling woody *i actualy believe there is 3 tracks, and generaly the main theme park in Spain.

Terra Mitica -- Magnus Colossus---
http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery1081.htm

Aone of a kind woody built into the side of a hill. Pretty cool. Terra Mitica is probaly the second best park in spain after Port Aventura. If i remember correctly the two parks are pretty close together.

Other parks in spain --- http://www.rcdb.com/quicksearch.htm?quicksearch=spain

Hope that helps

I've heard that Magnus Colossus sucks. It's also made by a crappy coaster company.

Its made by the same company who made Son of Beast (Rollercoaster Corporation of America) and 4 other lesser coasters, which include Montezum, White Canyon and two wild wild west rides [;)]

Btw if your gonna book a hotel near salou, id would be careful. I heard that some places are right shitholes in and around there. I would stick to the outskirts of the city

Why didn't anyone mention Warner Brother Movie World Madrid? It's a really cool park with some cool B&M rides and a good woodie from what I've heard. I'd like to go there once myself, those B&M's really look sweet.
I think you should go to WBMWM or Port Aventura, but they don't have that much coasters, however Dragon Khan rocks [:)]

the woodie at WBMW isn't good, I heard it has no air and terrible lats, which means its not exciting at all

As others have mentioned, Port Aventura is excellent. I've ridden all the coasters there and they're all pretty good, even the rather tame little old mineworking train (not sure of its name). Dragon Khan is amazing. Again as others have mentioned, Salou is a bit of a dump, typical overgrown resort really. Nearby Cambrils is far far nicer, much better restaurants and places to stay, better beaches, and far fewer bright pink Brits!![:O]
