History of the Parque de Atracciones de Madrid

The Parque de Atracciones de Madrid was inaugurated on 15 May 1969. At that time, the Madrilènes could visit it for only 5 pesos. During the 1970s and 1980s, the park opened many attractions that have become classics today, like the famous carousel built in 1929. Among the new furious machines, the Jetstar, the Travel in Space or the Valley of Prehistory make the success of the park.
From the 1990s, the park entered a phase of change. Several attractions are removed and replaced by others. In April 1998, the Parque de Atracciones organized and divided into five zones: Machines, Tranquillity, Nature, Children and Great Adventures.
Following this period of restructuring, the 2000s host numerous innovations to revitalize the park. Since then, it is possible to go to the discovery of Siete Picos (which was designed by Schwarzkopf), Abismo or Tarantula (the most impressive Russian mountains of the Parque de Atracciones).
Since 2010, the team Nickelodeon Land integrated the park, now welcoming Bob l’Éponge and all his friends. In another genre, The Walking Dead Experience pays tribute to the famous series and promises to thrill.
For the anecdote, the mascot of the Parque de Atracciones de Madrid has not always been the one we know. Originally and in the 1980s, her name was Napy: a bear dressed in a Chulapo, a traditional costume of the San Isidro (in honor of Isidore, the patron of Madrid).
