Universal Mediterranea
Description: This giant theme park, which opened in 1994, attracts thousands of holidaymakers every year who journey through its five worlds (Mediterránia, Far West, Mexico, Polynesia and China) on its many rides and attractions. Enjoying an enviable coastal location, between Salou and Vila-seca on Spain’s Costa Dorada, this 117 hectare-site (289 acre) boasts entertainment aimed at all age groups. There are nightly shows, including Fiestaventura in the Mediterranean world, as well as many other attractions, including the Sea Odyssey underwater adventure, the Stampida roller coaster ride, and the Grand Canyon Rapids and Tutuki Splash water rides. Templo del Fuego, which opened in 2001, has the greatest number of fire and water effects ever used on any attraction, while the big attraction for the 2002 season is the new Costa Caribe Caribbean-themed water park. Visitors who wish to spend a few days in the park can stay in one of the many hotels on site, all of which share a beach area, Playa Larga, where guests can relax and soak up the Mediterranean sun. The park is owned by the Universal Studios Recreation Group, responsible for other theme parks around the world, including Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood.
