Virdu_ Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 I visited Terra Mítica with a friend Thursday 12th April, and I want to show you my photos. The park is simply fantastic. The SLC is incredible, I can't believe that a Vekoma SLC is smooth Magnus Colossus... Well, I rode it in November, and now it's better, Terra Mítica has taken the train to the Intamin factory, and now it isn't so rude like a few months ago, it's rude, but not too much. The Flight of the Phoenix(Intamin 60mts. Free Fall) is, for me, the best Free Fall I've ever ridden. PE, in Hurakan Condor I only feel the velocity, but in TFOTP I feel a lot of airtime, a special and unic airtime. I don't know why, but I feel more airtime in The Flight than in Hurakan Condor... About the rest of the rides, well, the water rides are very good, with a 20mts. height Log Flume(Falls of the Nile), a typical and well themed(with a lot of chewing gums ) Splash(Tryton's Fury), and a very good rapids, with a section with falls that enter into the boat(Argos' Rapids). 2 Dark Rides, The Labyrinth of the Minotaur, with Sally's signature; and other with a very strange(but interesting)mix of Rapids and Dark Ride. A lot of kiddie and Family rides, a boring and bad simulator(inside a enormous and very real Parthenon), and some animations and shows very interestings, with Red Beard, a fantastic Pirates Stunt Show, and Tarantela, a show with the Style of Cirque du Soleil, but with Roman theming and a shorter showtime(about 30 minutes). Animations with Espartans, Cavaliers, Bold Pirates, and a very interesting Gladiators' Fight in front of the Circus Màximus. I really liked the park, and I hope to go again in a few weeks. And now, the photos. I hope you like them! See you Egypt! Red Beard's theatre when the show is finished. Vekoma is here! MuaHaHaHaHa!!! YAAAAAARGH! My ship!!! BOOOM! Come here baby! YAAAARGH! He's going to cut my neck!! Red Beard Show!! My Favourite animatronic! LOL Inside Ulysses' Rescue. "Achiles was here" Amazing theming in Ulysses' Rescue. A view of "The Islands" zone. Brave Train's entrance. This family coaster will be closed this summer... The Black Knight's dead in "The Tournment" show. More black Knight(But now he's alive)... And more... Iberia's Zone, my favourite zone of any park. Oh! A church! I can see a SLC from my garden! And from my window! Iberia's amazing theming. More amazing theming... Are we in Morocco? Some ancient Caesars with Tizona's hearthline at the end. The Flight of the Phoenix! I just love this Free Fall! Detail of the awesome theming in Magnus Colossus pre-entrance. And more... And More Circus Màximus and Via Apia(the red building) Going into Magnus Colossus. The Achropolis The Labyrinth of the Minotaur station. Keops' Pyramid seen from Greece. Another god at Pyramid's entrance. The obelisk in detail. The bank of the River Nile. An Egyptian God. The new rides weren't working(they're not build...)
coastermaniac1 Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Good photos. Looks like a nice park with some good themeing. The coasters dont look that great though. But I think Hurakan Condor looks way better than Flight of the Phoenix.
Divv3k Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Terra Mitica has always looked like an incredibly well themed park and is definitely a place I will visit someday but the thing that continuously puts visits to other places ahead of it for me is the coaster selection - an SLC and an RCCA woodie, it doesn't really scream "get here now and ride these things!". Hopefully the new Intamin ball coaster will get some good reports. I'm looking forward to hearing the reports on this place from the TPR Spain trip participants! Thanks for the photos Virdu!
Virdu_ Posted April 14, 2007 Author Posted April 14, 2007 I didn't say that The Flight looks more amazing than Hurakan Condor. Hurakan Condor LOOKS more amazing, but it's(for me) the worst Intamin ride I've ever tried... The Flight doesn't look amazing, but the airtime is incredible
coastercrazed49 Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Nice trip report. That park has some amazing scenery. I have to agree with coastermaniac 1, the coasters don't looks that impressive. But what the heck they count as credits, and thats all that counts.
