gus1971 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hey there! I have just arrived from Spain and I would like to share with you a great afternoon spent at Tibidabo! This is the weirdest park I've ever been to, but don't take it in a negative way, please. Tibidabo is fun, fun, fun and is worth a visit if you are in Barcelona. Although being a family park, the uniqueness of it's rides offers you a great experience, not to mention the magnificent views of Barcelona city. Right beside Tibidabo, there is this incredible catholic temple where you will pray in 3 different instances (the temple, the Gothic Cathedral and the statue of Christ Redeemer) for Heaven to keep you protected while you ride the craziest rides ever. And also for you to thank life for being in such a fun and beautiful place! Enjoy the report, then! Cheers from Rio, Gus. Once upon a time, there was this far away mountain called Tibidabo... ... a place you will get to after riding a plane, a train, this street car (Tramvia Blau)... ... and a funicular ride. A penny for his thoughts! My guess: "I cannot stand the ups and downs of this job anymore" sic sic sic And then, after this long journey you get to the top of the mountain, where a magical (and very weird!) place waits for you. TIBIDABOOOOOOOOO!!!! First, a quick stop to ask for protection and to thank for having the privilege of being there... (ok, this One is nice! But it's not Rio's Christ the Redeemer) Sorry! And then, Avió appears in the sky... This ride is unique, and offers you a mix of a fun museum experience and a great viewpoint of Barcelona! Nice! Really nice! It's Tibidabo version of Soaring over... BCN! It's tiny but very cozy inside the plane. After landing back, it's time to check the other crazy ride... ... TALAIA! The ride is gentle and delivers great views. El Magatzem de les Bruixes i els Bruixots is a fun dark ride with open air suspended parts. And then, Vekoma's custom family coaster: Muntanya Russa This bunny hill does not offer negative Gs at all. The train goes thru it at a very low speed. But it's a good time to look to your right and enjoy the view. It's twisted layout among the trees delivers a very nice ride time. Going down the first hill at night is magical. As it faces the hill side of the mountain, it's like flying over Barcelona. Much better than High Roller in Vegas (IMO) I believe it is the smoothest Vekoma I have ever ridden. The 2 trains - red and blue, are shaped as cars This ride was also cool to watch. Riders have water cannons that wet the audience. Tibidabo takes advantage of every single corner of the park to place its attractions One more look at this great view and it's time to say "hasta luego, Tibidabo!"

RollerCoasterSmi Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I always thought (by the looks of it) Muntanya Russa was just a crap version of Liseberbahnan, but it is much better and safer!)than Montaña Rusa (the homemade coaster)...

gus1971 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 I always thought (by the looks of it) Muntanya Russa was just a crap version of Liseberbahnan Hum... I would not compare the rides. First because Schwarzkopf has designed the first one, and that is the guy I call MASTER! Lisebergbanan is wild. The incline helixes deliver good forces and it is much more of a thrill ride than a family coaster. But I think Muntanya Russa, despite of being a terrain coaster as well, is an easy ride, designed to attract families and young adventurers. If I had to choose between the 2 of them, for sure it would go for Lisebergbanan, which I rode this last July, in a quick visit to Gothenburg.
