This is an excellent theme park, way better than anything in the UK, its very clean and well designed and something for everyone, especially those that seek the thrill of big rides. Height restrictions are spot on as some really aren't suitable for the bravest of younger children. We has express passes as part of hotel package but if you time it right you can avoid lots of queuing without if you take advantage of the late opening times.

Came here a couple of days before the end of our 2 weeks holiday. Apart from the queue for tickets overall the day was brilliant. Wee word for heads up on savings ... McDonald's in salou offer 2 for 1 on tickets of you order 2 large meals. We did it. Also worthwhile then spending the extra to skip the queue's. Overall the waterpark is fantastic. Although this is my first waterpark experience my family had said this was the biggest and best they experienced in a long time. The rides are plentiful and definitely try the jacuzzi pool which relax you and massage you. if you can bring food and drinks to make it an all day occasion. It is allowed, oh and the dolphins show is amazing.

We visited on a Thursday evening, taxi from Calafell cost 8euros, lots of places to sit in shade or sun, and a little playground.We had a drink first as you are up on a hill the view down towards the sea was lovely. The two children aged 6 and 8 absolutely loved the slide! We brought them 3 rides each, each time they were accompanied by an adult, we found it extremely fun too! It can go very fast, or very slow so it’s completely up to you to control the speed. It had a lovely atmosphere so we were going to have dinner there, but as it wasn’t summer season yet, they were not serving pizza but we would have eaten there ova wise. Staff were very friendly and helpful, they ordered us a taxi back after we had been there for an hour and a half. We had no ques, had the whole place to ourselves at one point. Definitely recommend a visit as it will be our children's favourite memory from the holiday. If you have a car then even better, there is a little car park and is only short ride from town. We will return for sure next summer!

For all thrill seekers this is a must go to experience. The Red Force rollercoaster is scarily amazing and very addictive. Visiting during the off peak season is better as it's quieter and less queue times. Even though there aren't many rides the park offers many experiences and a acrobatic show is performed a couple times throughout the day which is great for all ages.
