Last year in June me and some friends made a trip to Madrid. Long story short:
PdA: sucked, ugly park, crap rides, slow ops, queujumping guests, food disgusting and expensive (only one fast food take away open), and so on.
Parque Warner: Nice park with nice rides, with the potential to be Europeans best. but it also has to suffer from the PR-group and Spain mentality: slow ops, bad maintenance, expensive food, ....
We decided to go on a credithunt. In Madrid, there is one coaster not in the two parks mentioned, and it is in a shopping mall called parquesur. There is a Metro station a few hundred meters away.
The building was huge, so we asked a security guard where the childrens play area is, what shouldn't sound suspicious at all. With his help, we soon found it:
In the small park (that has the name Sould Park), there was only us (a group of 4 grown up men) and 3 guys running the park. This was the first theme park in Madrid where the ride op's could speak another language than Spanish. Actually they didn't speak Spanish at all. Their language seemed Russian, and one of them spoke English. He helped us during our 20-minute visite to the park.
The park was very clean and "well themed", for kids at least.
I love how they show a B&M looper in this visual.
While trying to explain we want to ride the coaster, the English-speaking-russian ride op thought we wanted to ride this horse ride. He said it was only for kids.
The coaster was no problem though. This was my second Zamperla Fiesta Express after the one in Saint Paul and I loved it.
Compared to the other parks in Madrid, Sould Park is a winner:
-No one was queujumping.
-very helpfull ride ops
-All rides open and working on full capacity
-Park was very clean
-Pay for one ride, we did all the rides we wanted to do for only 2 euro PP.
-...
A tip for fellow credit hunters: Sould park is only open during Spanish school vacation periods
