Parque Warner Madrid is suitable for all ages. It is divided into themed worlds, according to Hollywood models. You can find here DC Superhéroes World (become your favourite superhero for a few hours), Cartoon Village (meet your favourite characters in mad situations), Old West Territory (stroll down the dusty streets of the Old West), Hollywood Boulevard (Take a stroll down the magical streets of Hollywood) and Warner Bros. Studios (a real movie set with real live action).

The perfect solution for the lovers of adrenaline is the Super Heroes World. The smallest visitors will love the Cartoon Village. Among the most popular attractions is the roller coaster “Superman: la Atracción de Acero”, which has 7 inversions and is 50 meters high. Furthermore, there are other roller coasters “Batman La Fuga” with 5 inversions and “Stunt Fall” with 3 inversions.

Very interesting is also a wooden roller coaster “Coaster Express” which is located in the section of the park called “Old West Territory” (formerly known as the “Wild Wild West”). If you like free fall you should try “La Venganza del Enigma”. The three water rides belong to the best one in the category.

Parque Warner Madrid is open from early March to December, but opening hours vary, so it is best to check Parque Warner Madrid official website before visiting the park. The basic daily admission fee is 38,00 €.

Parc Asterix is one of the best amusement parks in Europe, located in France, about 35 km north of Paris.

Parc Asterix is based on the stories of Asterix and Obelix – who are famous French comic book heroes (the Gallic warriors). They lived around the year of 50 BC, and fight successfully against Roman legions with the help of a magic potion. Parc Asterix offers more than 30 attractions, especially the large variety of roller coasters and 3 different performances.

Among the favorite characters from comic books and movies you can experience the adventure on a bobsleigh and the turbulent water flow. You will find here also the Dolphinarium, classic Gallic village, and if you will have a good luck, one of the Druid offers you a magic potion.

In the complex there are also sections devoted to ancient Greece, Roman Empire and the Vikings. There is a roller coaster La Trace Du Hourra that transports you to ancient times in a speed of 60 km/h. For those of you who are more adventurous there is a roller coaster Goudurix, where you will be several times upside down. Another interesting fun is a wooden roller coaster Tonnerre de Zeus, which can ride at speeds up to 85 km/h. The track was even named the best wooden roller coaster in Europe.

Parc Asterix is open during the summer season from April to August almost daily from 10:00 to 18:00. You can visit it also throughout the whole year, but at first check the opening calendar at their main website to ensure it is open.

Very close to this park you can enjoy fun also in France’s and Europe’s most visited tourist attraction – Disneyland Paris, which is only approx. 30km far.
