The peculiarity of
this park is its representation of different Mediterranean cultures, with more
or less exact replicas of bridges and historical and artistic monuments. Just

offerings to various gods. Part of this gate can be seen at theEgyptian Museum
inBerlin.
Once inside the park, visitors can see the obelisk "Cleopatra the
needle" (the original is now inLondon), a
replica of the lighthouse atAlexandria, in a
house inPompeii,
palaces and various Greek etc.

longest inverted roller coaster in the world, 1200 meters; inverted roller
coaster faster, 115 km / h and inverted roller coaster with the greatest amount
of investment in toral 9), had to be cancelled due to its excessive cost, as
the park was beginning to feel the weight of accumulated debt, and preferred a
standard model that has very good reception by the public of the world's theme
parks. Several replicas exist around the globe. Is a model that takes up little
space, it is compact, but reaches 33 meters and a maximum speed of 88 km / h.

Terra Mitica is a
theme park located in Benidorm (Alicante).
It is based on the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean, which are
distributed in five thematic areas:Egypt,
Greece,Rome,Iberia
and The Islands. New in 2008 an area of the break to leave Egypt for free
access: OcionIa
Its main attractions are Magnus Colossus, a wooden roller coaster; Titanide, an

In 1996 created the
Public Company Company SA Alicante Theme Park, which would be the beneficiary
of the expropriation of an area of about 10 million m2. This company would
manage the concessions of land to various private companies that explore
different facilities are located, which were at first: the theme park, which
was awarded to Terra Mitica SA, two major golf courses, a park Nature and a
hotel (with about 2,500 beds).
The park has undergone enormous changes since its opening in 2000. It began as
the most ambitious project ofEurope. The
intention was to park a spectacular sight and senses. All were encouraged at
the Terra Mitica 2000 and 2001, seeing, hearing, smell, touch and taste. The
park was built so fast, and many projects were in the room. The displeasure of
the first visitors to the park was scratching visits.
The maze of roads in the attraction "Tizona".
In 2002 an attempt
was made to give a boost to the park with the entrance of the Paramount Parks
shareholders.
The park was made for 3 million visits annually, and at that time was around at
about 2 million, and in 2003 took radical decisions that would change
completely the future of the park.
In 2004 decided to
reduce the season leaving the park from March to November, and went into
receivership to avoid bankruptcy because it had debts of 100 million euros. The
shareholders decided to terminate the contract withParamount to a year of its expiration, having
seen that even with the image of the film the Park not flying back and stroke a
lot of money just for the image, not by the management Terra Mitica, and the
injection of money. They tried to build a new attraction: "Synkope. But
given the economic problems the park was not the attraction that he paid up,
almost at the end of the season. Finally opened, but we chose to make the grand
opening in 2005 and take advantage of the pull with an aggressive campaign to
have the image humorist Florentino Fernandez.
The land on which the
park sits an area consisting of about
450 hectares of land for, north and
south of Benidorm and Finestrat La Nucia, municipalities in the region of
Alicante, La Marina Baixa. In August 1992 there was a large forest fire,
despite the opinion of a large part of the local population that was
intentional, to date has not shown anything through the courts, so do not can
claim that land was deliberately incendieron speculative purposes. The mayor of
Benidorm then was Eduardo Zaplana. The land continued to retain its
classification as "not urban", even after the construction of the
park.
Looking ahead to
2007, the park has € 19 million through the sale of land. A new roller coaster,
and shows a tower 100 meters tall would be news for the year of the rebirth of
Terra Mitica. The purpose of the directive was at least one million hits. It
also created a division to organize events and celebrations of all kinds:
weddings, corporate dinners and banquets of all kinds, to exploit the potential
of the park when it is closed.
As a result, Terra Mitica has been consolidated as thetheme
park ofValencia,Murcia
and Castilla-La Mancha, portend a strong and stable future.
The 2006 goal was to
revive the park. There were cutbacks in spending and changes to several shows.
It was also decided to build a new attraction in the area of theIslands, "The wrath of akiles. In 2006, the park was
operating profit, € 600,000. An agreement between boxes and allowed creditors
to lift the suspension of payments and to lift the slab up to 260 million left
in 20 to sell the land for expansion of the park.
