Best Madrid Park?

[Gavin]

Ok, I was going to put this in Q&A, but since I've already pretty much decided what I'll do and I care little for your advice, I thought I'd put it here as a more general opinion topic.

For people who have visited both Parque Warner and Parque de Atracciones (I'm assuming that most people do both on a Madrid trip), which one do you prefer and why?

Basically, I'll be going to Madrid for a few days after Ghosterforce, but have to leave on the Sunday morning to get back for work. Madrid's two parks are only open at weeekends in October, meaning that I only have the Saturday to work with, meaning only one park.

¡Qué dilema.

I've basically decided on Parque Warner, as it looks to be the better park overall, but Atracciones has a couple of interesting looking coasters, too.

Off you go then...

Warner.

But Halloween opening hours mean Parque D'A is open 'til 23:00. So both?

Hmmm, I had thought about that.

The rides close at 10 though, and neither park opens until 11am. It's doable, but don't know if I'd want to rush to get both parks "done" instead of just enjoying one of them properly.

Warner is the better of the 2, de Atracciones is just confusing to find your way round

Edit: There are some silly things they do at de Atracciones, like Tornado has to have a full train before it departs, and their wild mouse gets fully loaded in the station (all 4 cars) then sent off. Plus you will not get 2 coasters there as they are only for kids.

^Well, that takes it down to four CREDZZ then, which seems to be all the park is really good for, so a couple of hours in the evening might be an idea.
