Today, we’re continuing our series of posts about attractions that you can visit in Spain by taking a look at Parque Warner Madrid, a theme park which is situated in San Martín de la Vega, about 25km from Madrid.
Parque Warner opened in 2002 and was originally known as Warner Bros Movie World Madrid. It is divided into five themed areas: Hollywood Boulevard; Old West Territory; DC Superheroes World; Cartoon Village; and Warner Bros Movie World Studios.
Hollywood Boulevard is the entrance point of the park and you’ll find the Teatro Chino (Chinese Theatre) here, as well as a number of restaurants and shops.
Old West Territory’s rides include the Coaster Express (a 1,275m long wooden roller coaster) and the Río Bravo log flume ride. You can also watch a Wild West themed show, and there are several food outlets and gift shop.
DC Superheroes World is home to rides such as the thrilling Superman and Batman La Fuga coasters and the Mr.Freeze tower ride, whilst Cartoon Village will keep younger members of the family entertained with its children’s rides and appearances by Looney Tunes cartoon characters.
If you’re an adrenaline junkie, make sure that you ride the Stunt Fall coaster in the Warner Bros Movie World Studios area of the park. You can also watch a driving stunt show, take the “Cine Tour” and stop off for something to eat in one of the restaurants here.
Parque Warner is the perfect place to visit on a day-trip if you are staying in Madrid particularly if you are on a car hire holiday. It will only take you about 30 minutes to drive from Madrid to Parque Warner Madrid and you can park your rental car in Parque Warner Madrid’s car park for a small charge. There is so much to do at Parque Warner Madrid that you should allow a whole day to explore it.
