Trevor Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Well, I just came from the fair now, and I post you my review! Today is a very, very cold day here in Girona, but that is no problem to the lots of massive crowds that were visiting it! I will make the review a little different from the last year one, because most of the rides are the same, so I will focus on "other things".... I've to advice you that this fair is full of repeated rides and unlicensed characters! First of all, this fair is located in the Devesa park, in Girona (Catalonia, Spain) [100km form Barcelona]. Is a huge green park full of trees, than are more than 40 meters tall! The fair is divided in the adults area and the children area. You'll see it in detail in the review. In the park is also located the concerts area with lots of little bars of differents associations of the city, where you can eat or drink. You can see the park here: http://maps.google.es/maps?q=devesa+girona&ll=41.98787,2.819806&spn=0.003434,0.004823&fb=1&gl=es&hq=devesa&hnear=0x12bae6959d1e974d:0x400fae021a469c0,Girona,+Catalunya&cid=0,0,11076313206587311749&t=h&z=18&iwloc=A The stage All the area next to the stage is full of little bars. You can see the Girona's Cathedral in the back The concerts area. You can see the bars all over the place. This area is really FULL of people late at night... if I took the same pick you won't be able to see the floor!! I see something between the trees.... All the fair area is also full of little food parades. In this case, you can see "Castanyes", a typical spanish food in this time Lots and lots of crowds today! We go to the child area and this is our first ride... ok, I've counted 3 of this ride in the children area, spaced every 50 meters... sweets!! More spanish typical food Mini frog hopper Mini Ferrys Wheel Bumper cars nº1 Bumper cars nº2 (yes, this ride was 20 meters away from the last bumper cars) Oh! A Disney train coaster.... let's look in detail... UNLICENSED MICKEY MOUSE TRAIN COASTER Nº1!!! Fun House nº1 THE UNLICENSED MICKEY MOUSE TRAIN COASTER Nº2!!!! 100% made in Spain Lots of lights in the unlicensed Mickey Mouse train coaster nº2! Fun House nº2 Bumper cars nº3.... A 3D Halloween dark ride!! People from Inside Circuit Cars nº1... THE UNLICENSED SPRITE RIDE!!! Of course the name of the ride was "SPRIT" Inside the bottle has a soft surface that goes round and makes the children happy! Family roller coaster Bumper cars nº4... (relax... there are lots more to come lol) Children cars nº2 Circuit cars nº2 Mini rodeo ride! Notice the lady in black was doing a choreography and all the children did the same, the fact was trying not to fall off the buffalo! UNLICENSED SIMPSONS FLAT RIDE!!! Ponny Ride..... Ok! So now let's take a look to the adult area, where the amazing ride are! First stop.... BOOSTER XXL! THROUGHT THE TREESSS!!! a Fabbri demon ride!

This is an inverted wild mouse with a splash section! Each train has a button, and you can choose if you want to get a pneumonia or just a cold.... Splash section!! Rodeo family ride! Fun House nº3 Some other children rides... Bumper cars nº5!!!! Lots of crowds The cold weather was not a problem for anybody! I don't know the name of this ride, but anyway that was the number 1. I don't understand why they put repeated rides on the same fair!! Buffalo ride for adults This ride always have the same typical music that goes to the beat of the ride. I don't know if this only happens in Spain lol More buffalo fun! Frog hopper nº3 Terror walk throught! And now, everybody... the ride you've been waiting for.... the hightlight of the fair.... THE UNLICENSED TOWER OF TERROR FAIR VERSION!!!! Once you step into the elevator, you put this 3D glasses on. And when the doors close... the elevator starts to go up! .... to the first floor, where a 3D film is projected. I've not still been on the ride so I can't tell you what is about. Do yo imagine a knock off from the really Tower of Terror preshow or something like that? jaja Then, the elevator rises to the top of the tower, where is a window (without doors...). People can see the outside before dropping down!! Here you see the elevator at the top! It's a 24 meters tall structure! The doors closed from the station, waiting for the elevator to drop If we move to the side.... we can see the laundry service of the hotel! lol More rides! This one is Alcatraz, a "rainbow" jail that goes up and down very fast! The huuuge ferrys wheel!!! It's really impressive! And the LED lighting is really amazing! Here is a flat ride.... inversion here's a coaster! With electric tires in each train it goes up and the it goes down! blurry... brakes nerd shot The last curve Here's another flat...

Trevor Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Here the drop moment from the Mistery Hotel. Sorry for the final, I was not looking at the camera and I didn't film the station doors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thanks for that update! I was wondering about that "V" coaster from the original post, though. I can't find any information on it via Google. Can someone fill me in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewoplis Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Am I the only one who thinks that Spain has some really messed up fairs? Great TR BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8899 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Great pictures! Also love the ride selection, specially the Inversion and Huss Take Off. And this fair has even more bumper cars the Vienna Prater... Do you have more information about the last coaster with the electric spiral lift? Looks familiar even if it could be a knock-off, at least the cars look new... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Finally last night we went on the Mystery Hotel My thoughts... it was terribly awful!! First of all, as expected, the 3D projection didn't have any relation with the "story" of the ride.... it was a standard egypcian mystery 3D animation film!!! Featuring some water sprays inside the elevator, and also some seat vibes.... then, the elevator goes up, and in each floor there are some "paintings" on the wall.... several of them were of the actual Tower of Terror from Florida!! The drop was so fake.... it was not dropping "by gravity", it was a hydraulic platform that drops fast but no airtime at all. Well... one more experience in our bag! Do you have more information about the last coaster with the electric spiral lift? Looks familiar even if it could be a knock-off, at least the cars look new... Yes! The layout was the same!! The classics never die! Thanks for that update! I was wondering about that "V" coaster from the original post, though. I can't find any information on it via Google. Can someone fill me in? This year there was no V coaster and other rides. Also several rides were relocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 This year there was no V coaster and other rides. Also several rides were relocated. I saw that. I was just curious about it in general. You mentioned it was infamous, haha. Any history on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Khan Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Awesome contrast between nature and pieces of engineering. It looks like a forest on acid trip ! The proximity to the trees must give a crazy feeling of speed on the booster ! I had missed this thread last year but I'm glad you revived it. Fantastic pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 A great ride lineup in a unique location---awesome! I would be terrified riding that booster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

805Andrew Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Wow, what a cool setting for a fair with such a great variety of thrill rides! I went to Spain this summer and went to Girona for a day and walked by this park late in the day without knowing it hosts this great fair this time of the year. We didn't explore this park as we wanted to grab something quick to eat (we got Doner Kabap to go and ate it on the train) and make our train back into Barcelona. We did spend the day walking around the historic and river parts Girona and really liked it - Girona definitely is a "culture" place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
