I visited a Theme park In BENIDORM!

[@jordantaylor3169]

7:56 The poor sods were beggin' for the operator to stop the ride, the Father was like "Nah...we're on it now" Pahahahaha.

[@alejandrominguez8994]

I an from Alicante and I feel very nostalgic about this place at it is my first theme park. Its golden days passed more than 15 years ago, now its decadence is evident. I remember when they first opened the pendulum ride and the inferno roller coaster. Since then, no new rides. Bad economic management, insufient mantainance and accidents has led to very bad fame among locals. Now only school kids and outsiders visit Terra Mitica. Its a pity, so different from the way Aqualandia water park was managed... I will come back this year to Terra Mitica just because I have free tickets

[@chrisonYTtour]

Looks great! I love a theme park, but I swear, doesn’t matter what park I’ve been to, if you pick a ‘quieter’ day to go, there’s always a handful of rides ‘closed for maintenance’. Cheers Tim👍

[@lyndseymunneke5420]

We used to live in Benidorm and had season passes for a couple of years around 2013-2015 when our son was around 7 years old. However once we’d done all the rides and no new ones were added we stopped going. We only used to go for half a day as it’s all we needed to go on the rides we wanted to. When it first opened queues were over an hour long for the bigger rides. There were more places to eat but they all gradually closed. Shame as it such a big park, was always clean and the theming was good. Don’t think this park will ever be as popular as when it first opened. Brilliant video as always.

[@markwilliamlacey]

A quick bit of research would of been good Tim! Magnus Colossus at Terra Mittica has been SBNO (standing but not operating) since 2015 due to the extreme maintenance costs (woodies don't do well in extremely hot climates and require frequent retrack work) so it was never going to be running when you visited, it hasn't run for 8 years! It was originally a Paramount Park but since they sold it to current owners there has been hardly any investment, the park used to be much bigger but was divided into two parks with only half (Terra Mittica ) open this time of year with the whole park only opening in high season, since COVID though the Iberia Park side has not opened which is a shame as the rapids ride was great there. You do need to take swimming costumes for the full experience (it cost me 2 bikinis and a towel for my daughter's last time, I had shorts on that were swim shorts) it was a great day out when the whole park was open but the two coasters are very rough, the blue one is a standard Verkoma SLC which are terrible vomit inducing rides frequently removed from parks all over the world.

[@marieryan2541]

Hi Tim. Great theme to each part. Pity wooden rollercoaster wasn't working but thank you to film the roller coaster you went on. I love roller coasters but need to be extra careful as I have back problems and a heart one to.

[@melissaphillips3088]

Tim great job as always ! Looks like lots of fun there. So much to see and enjoy. Hope you had a great time. Take care💕

[@beccasjourneys22]

I went here quite alot in the early 2000's, crazy to still see the same rides going today.

[@yvonneatkins7386]

Thanks Tim great video, interesting look forward to the next Yvonne 😊

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Tim,there are some good rides there,shame a couple of them were closed,the last one you were on I couldn't do that too high for me lol.

[@dawniepiee]

I loved Terra Mitica as a kid! I have been twice and distinctively remember being terrified of the dark ride at 3:30 (I was around 7) which did make me laugh with you saying it was the worst ride you have ever been oN! I also remember seeing this bright pink plastic cow with red hearts and udders on both of my trips and it made me happy to see it again, it's been a decade since I've been, and do want to go back to relive some childhood memories. It's unfortunate you couldn't go on the big rides, and that you was disappointed but glad to of been able to relive it again from your video :)

[@rosewardale381]

Hi Tim😊 When it first opened all us locals were pleased too hear about Theme Park and we do get choice of an anual pass, which works out obviously much cheaper, but once youve been a few times things were noticable, rides not running, lack of atmosphere, more boring rides than exciting ones, so we just stopped going. Its sad because most probably cost a fortune to build and maintain, but is pretty boring for a theme park😢

[@SimonM-63]

You do so much in the name of content! I see you made a new friend on the sky ride 😂 at least there was more open than Sharm. Great video, Tim 👍 👌 👏 🙌

Hi Tim another excellent video and I really enjoyed it so much what a cool looking theme park.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@joannharrington2279]

As soon as I saw the 10 school buses I would have come another day. You are very brave to go on roller coasters and swings that hurl you out over the crowds. I could see the place being better at night when the shows are open. Maybe they need to do some upgrading.

[@julesb7707]

Can’t wait until Casper is big enough to go on these rides with you.

[@traceybeerling4776]

Hi Tim ! This looks like a nice park it could do with some updating. Nice themeing though maybe it could get better in the future. Thankyou for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

[@shyq786]

Hey Tim. Love your vlogs especially the Dubai ones ❤ you're a natural, very informative and you should have your own show! 😊

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Wow, thank you!

[@jordankuforiji3686]

Hey Tim, amazing to watch this video as I used to visit so much as a kid, unfortunately over the years, as much as the theming is still great, they’ve always struggled with money problems and even threatened to close a few times. Colossus unfortunately has been left there closed since 2015 simply because they don’t have the money to demolish it! But just wanted to say that I loved the video and it’s brought back so many amazing memories! Literally nothing has changed in years!

[@Emira_75]

Wow that's really interesting, so it's just an abandoned coster in the middle of the park.

[@DaPanda1980]

Magnus Colossus opened on 27 July 2000. It closed in 2015 indefinitely, due to high maintenance costs. It has also been removed from their website, from the list of rides

[@mikekaraoke]

I first went there when it first opened in 2000, One of my fav theme/waterparks not just in Spain but in Europe! As for Efteling theme park in Holland that is one of my fav theme parks in the world though-Shame when some rides/shows are not there to see/do! Thing I like about Efteling is you can see on website/txt messages of what rides/shows are in maintenance-Gaby said you will prob go there next year 👍🏻

[@andysmith1706]

Me and me dad were there on one of the days like that, with a million Spanish whippersnappers running around causing chaos... After being annoyed at all the queuejumping they were doing, we went to complain. They then gave us some form of fast pass thing which was great. Nothing was mentioned at the gate, though. I do still really like Terra Mitica, but its a real shame that its almost been left to die. Both the circus show in the 'Collosseum' and the pirate show were always very good if they're still running...

Does look like fun cheers Tim

Hi Tim, last time we went we asked about colossus as I really wanted to experience this coaster and was surprised to find out that it hadn't operated since 2015! so I do not think this will work again unfortunately.

[@lunacampello]

My parents live in El Campello and we visited this park from the very start. It was amazing at first and then went down hill and changed owners. Over the last few years its had a lot of money invested in it and honestly it's becoming great again. This is a theme park, not an amusement park, so it's not only focused on the rides. The shows make this park. Amazing shows in the collesium and the deals show. The restaurants also make this park, they have sit down formal restaurants which serve amazing food. Collusus coaster has been closed for many years and that is also stated on their website and the paper maps they give you. It used to be a great coaster, it just need RMC to come and make it outstanding. The water rides which you also missed are great, the log flume and the boat, where you get soaked. Revisit this park on August, see the shows, eat in the nice restaurants and I think you be converted:)

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Yes it's a shame but you also don't see many restaurants like that in theme parks

[@lunacampello]

@@WalkWithMeTim yes, its very spanish. As spanish love their food and enjoying meals together. We ate at the one in the roman area in August and it was very good food and also very fairly priced. I would live to see this park getting more money invested in it and becoming great again. Hope you had a fun time in Benidorm, great vlogs! We always go in February with my parents for a holiday within a holiday and stay at the flamingo oasis. That's a great hotel too. Keep up the great vlogs, we love following your channel

[@MrGreatplum]

The theming of that park looks great - just a shame so many rides were shut… you love those swing rides don’t you? I don’t think I could get on that!

[@queenboy1000]

Hi Tim, I went here in 2000 and I thought it was amazing, everything was open including the wooden roller coaster which was amazing but was definitely a white knuckle ride for me, we went into the cinema where the theme was you were aliens studying sports on earth, next thing you know your a tennis ball and you flying all over the place, hilarious. Also there were some rapids which were brilliant and the log flume where you came down backwards, very strange. What I found really odd was that all of the signs were in Spanish so we didn’t even know what we were queuing up for sometimes but it was a great day.

[@Bignewmo]

It's a brilliant theme park, they do need to invest a bit in a couple of more roller coasters or flat rides though

[@egriffiths8993]

[@broyds1993]

When I was a kid I used to go here all the time I loved it and everything was open back then and they had shows going on all the time. Many years ago on one of the rides that was closed, not the collossus but the big yellow one a lady died on it when the seat she was sitting on detached from the ride and she dropped a long way. It's not the reason the ride is closed as it did open up again shortly after.

That looks quite an impressive place. I've been to benidorm a few times but never ventured that far. Two rides in an hour sounded rapid compared to Alton Towers, where you could spend half an hour walking between rides to meet a one hour queue.
