PortAventura Aquatic Park | Park Expanding
Expansion Announced
The expansion project of the Aquatic Park met four years in a state of "freezing" at times ... because in the month of August, the English page of PortAventura "PortAventuraHolidays" and the first catalogs of tour operators in the UK, announced to novelty fanfare in 2013 PortAventura Aquatic Park a little over a month and a half to give by finished the 2012 season of the enclosure.
They are advertised as a "New Aquatic Family Zone" as well as the resort's general map aparecíaun also announcing that new event logo, indicating the park, noting "Aquatic Park".
At the same time, and with the update of Google Maps, you could see that in the warehouses of the park, to be part of the pieces of the two slides kamikazes who bought the company in 2008 ProSlide, you can find these pieces thematize what will be the big news of the park after more than 10 years without any news. Pieces of theming, since the braking zone of Shambhala also be seen in the distance, and are therefore the customer's own view, raising rumors that extension.
Confirmation by PortAventura
The park has recently announced a Russian media outlet (country which wants to have a place of outbound tourism to PortAventura), that next year finally large water park with an extension that aims to double the capacity of the enclosure with a total 3 news:
Two pools themed Sesame Street (New Family)
Slide (slide) of 31 meters making it the highest in Europe (the project is rejected so the world's tallest water slide 42 meters as initial project)
In addition, "ElBlogdeDream" along with several unofficial websites that discuss PortAventura PortAventura gathered, where we were informed that such an extension would make the water park were to have a size of about 50,000 square meters, thanks to the expansion would have a similar size to the new themed area "SesamoAventura" theme park.
Recently, the park has sent a statement to all annual pass holders, which provides more information about the expansion of the water park which has a size of 12,800 square meters, and that not only consist of the two pools and the European higher slide (in its class free-fall). A multi slide up to 6 different slides also be added to the new water park area, greatly expanding the supply of entertainment arena.
But really, what these slides?
FreeFall
As stated by the name, this is a slide where the main feature is not the money that this might have, but the height, which in the case of PortAventura Aquatic Park is 31 meters being the highest in Europe slide into your category. Normally hourly capacity is being of 180 people / hour and usually have a minimum height of 1.20 meters

In Spain, we have clear examples of this type of slides also called as "kamikaze", but certainly one of the most fearsome are the Big Bang (Aqualandia - Benidorm) with a height of 30 meters (1 less than that will PortAventura ) or "Tower of Power (Siam Park - Tenerife) with 28 meters high.
In addition, these slides can add a little extra "capsule" in which the brave decision to fall under its own weight over the entire slide, it will be placed, close the small door access capsule, get in position, and wait for the worker decides to give the button to open the floodgates and falling.

Multitrack
We speak of the classic slide where we find different number of lanes to compete to see which is the fastest to reach the end of everything. In this case, PortAventura Aquatic Park introduce June 1 lanes. In this case, technology has advanced and we have moved from the classic "soft track" to the most amazing level design, entrelanzado each track with the rest. Undoubtedly one of the most fun and family. In this case, we have a capacity of 900 persons / hour in the case of 6 tracks, comes to be the case. and a minimum height of 1.10m
In Spain we can find many examples of this type of slides, so we could not list them all. In this case, we believe it is best to see a video overview with various multitrack.
In this case, as well as the slide model "free-fall" is very clear what kind of design is from "The Blog of Dream" that indicate "Aventura" to be a new slide with 6 lanes, we believe that this type chute is the most fits this description.
How and When?
Work began just close the park during the week after the Halloween event, where they settled in the area of expansion (fenced in parking area water park) booths early works also gradually have appeared the first bulldozers ... The water park will open the 2013 season as every year in mid - late May so until then, we can enjoy the extension of Aquatic Park.
