Parque Warner Madrid: General Discussion

[Benjsh]

The B+M has more of an Arkham Asylum theme nowadays than being specifically Batman.

Fair enough but that's close enough for me. Arkham is still Batman related really isn't it?

Yeah Arkham is were the criminally insane batman villains end up.

Think it's more a case if you're building a brand new headline coaster into the Gotham City area of the park it makes the most sense to theme it to Batman than someone from his rogues gallery, Robin, or Alfred.

 

[Poisson]

It's close enough to the Invert iirc to make sense as connected to it thematically wise

Some great images from The Coaster Kings on the construction of the new coaster. Full article here.







Really looking forward to riding both this and Toutatis next year!

 

[Rob]

Wowee, definitely going to need to get back to Parque Warner for this!

 

[Poisson]

Definitely was needed, the park has 3 standout rides and this makes it 4. Now if they'll put some new wheels on Superman it'd actually be pleasant to ride...

 

[Rick]

Appears to be fair sympathetic towards its surroundings which can only be a good thing.

 

[Rob]

The track is now complete:

 

[Poisson]

Almost regret doing the park this year instead of next year. Might have to return for this and the Intamin SFC at PdAdM at some stage

 

[Rick]

What used to be on the circular pad behind Stunt Fall ? I don't recall anything ever being there.

 

[Danny]

The park have announced the coaster will be called Gotham City Escape.

 

[Poisson]

Trains are confirmed to be on site

 

[Danny]

Niiiiiiice.

 

[Benjsh]

Trains are confirmed to be on site

Now that's a good looking train.

Definitely got my eye on a re-visit in the next few years.

Does anyone have any intel regarding when this will open? I’m looking into a Madrid trip and don’t want to miss this!

Saw a few people discussing this on Twitter the other day and there doesn’t seem to be a opening date announced yet

 

[Poisson]

I'm sure it'll end up on here. I'm waiting to book a trip too

 

[MattyH]

Minibus hire rates are going to shoot up when this opens I'm sure.

Looks like the park are exploring building a hotel at the moment as well

San Martín de la Vega permitirá la construcción de hoteles alrededor del Parque Warner

El Ayuntamiento aprobó el PGOU en el pleno extraordinario celebrado el pasado jueves 22 de diciembre. Ahora toca esperar por el sí de la Comunidad de Madrid para su entrada en vigor, algo que las autoridades municipales estiman que ocurra en un máximo de dos años.

Interesting idea, but isn't the park very close to Madrid? Surely they can't compete with the numerous hotels in Madrid, but I suppose if they aim solely at theme park visitors it could work.
