Flight of the Phoenix, a roller coaster with free fall from 35 meters high, which will leave you breathless reaching 100 km/h in 3 seconds; Inferno, which is one of the most spectacular and unique roller coasters in the world, despite its small size, it provides a great intensity in a few seconds, with spins up to 360 degrees and a maximum speed of 60 miles per hour.
In the Iberian space we will find Arietes and Jabato, childrens carousel rides in the shapes of pigs and wild boars, and finally we can visit the zone of the Islands with the Rapids of Argos and the Anger of Akiles, a boat drawing shapes in the air reaching heights of 15 meters.

After so much adrenaline, we have plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose different menus and sample food from specific areas.
