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: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.umwebsite.com%2Fpags%2F1pa-polynesia.htm&langpair=es%7Cen&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&safe=off&prev=%2Flanguage_tools "Oh mystic powers - hear my call...

If you are into theme parks, you might enjoy some of my artwork on my website - http://www.christophermerritt.com None of it is old park design, and there are lotsa dead links right now - but the history section, which deals with old parks should be up next week sometime. And of course, check out the new "E" Ticket website: http://www.the-e-ticket.com But thanks for the kudos! "Oh mystic powers - hear my call...
