Universal Studio's Port Aventura

Salou, Spain

Last Visited: June 2001




A premier member of the Universal Studios family, this park rivals Islands of Adventure



El Diablo


The Mine Ride is so realistic, it seems they actually built a mine for it



The coaster even dives right through its own marquee



Stampeda


In an amazing jumble of wood, CCI created this racing coaster



Tomahawk

And they packed in a great junior wooden coaster as well,
making it three separate full circuit wooden coasters, in footprint for one



Temple Del Fuego


The new attraction for 2001, it's Universal Studios at its stunt show best



Everything you'd expect after rides like T2:3D and Twister,
this experience will blow you away



Dragon Khan


Simply an engineering masterpiece, roller coaster, or otherwise



Again, not only does Universal give us a great ride, they make it an experience



B&M takes you up 148 feet



And thanks to the use of terrain, back down 161 feet



DK is very similar in style and layout to Busch Garden Tampa's Kumba



But because of its bonus verticle loop...



It used to share the world record for the most inversions on a coaster, eight



And if you scoff at its one-up-manship, you just try to keep count while onboard
