Well - after Trader Woody's comment in the Tiki Coaster thread - I started searching.... Here are some pix of Port Aventura in Spain...
I remember seeing some sketches of this the last time I freelanced for Universal - but I always assumed that it would be populated with smaller versions of the exisiting Uni Studios attractions in California & Florida.... It looks to me like the only character they have in the park is Woody Woodpecker for some reason....
Anyway - they have an entire themed "land" - Polynesia. Tacky theme park fans rejoice!

"Polynesia" is supposed to be an area that Captain Cook has discovered - and the year is 1779...

The photos really remind me of Lion Country Safari's visitor area... But themed in a better way...

Attractions:
Tutuki Splash - Journey on a boat through Tiki caves & into an active volcano....

Sea Odyssey - a submarine simulator attraction (no tikis)

Canoes - small childrens boat ride.

Kon-Tiki Wave - "you will feel like a pirate in the great heat of a tropical storm..."

Loco-Loco Tiki - typical "Fun Bus" ride with tropical decor...

Tami-Tami - children's coaster...

Makamanu Garden - enclosed bird sanctuary...

Aloha Tahiti - Polynesian revue on the beach...

Bora Bora - restaurant with floor show...

Mers Du Sud - polynesian gift shop...

To see more pix - check out the website I grabbed these from:
