PortAventura to open new Ferrari Land Kids’ Area
PortAventura World will open a new Ferrari Land Kids’ Area next month.
Five new attractions, inspired by the famous world of motor racing and the Cavallino Rampante, will open on April 20.
They include Junior Red Force, a miniature version of Red Force, Europe’s tallest and fastest rollercoaster that launched last year. It’s suitable for all ages.
The new area will also include Champions Race, a fun opportunity to experience the sensation of driving a Ferrari Testarossa 250.
New shows for 2018 include Dance Revolution 2 at Gran Teatro Imperial in China, with acrobatics, dancers and music, and the Can Can Show in the legendary Far West Saloon.
This year the park will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of Woody Woodpecker.
Thanks to the opening of Ferrari Land, the number of visitors to PortAventura World last year rose 20% year-on-year to the predicted figure of 4.7 million.
The domestic market grew by 19%, while the international market increased by 21%.
The importance of international markets in terms of total room nights continued to grow for yet another year, reaching 52%.
In 2018, it is expected that PortAventura World will continue its growth and exceed 5 million visitors.
