Attractions:
The diabolical Dragon Khan and Shambhala
This year a new legend has arrived in the China area.
It tells of Shambhala: Expedition to the Himalayas.
When you ride this new roller coaster you can touch
the sky and enjoy the sensation of being a real
mountaineer. You will soon see how Shambhala
does justice to its chimeric legend as there are very
few places where you will experience the sheer
joy you feel here. It will take all your senses to the
limit as you take to travel through the diabolical
structure resembling the shape of a dragon where
the soul of Prince Hu, who dared to challenge the
Eastern divinities, is kept captive. The Dragon Khan
is one of Europe’s biggest roller coasters. One of
PortAventura’s symbols, it features 8 vertical
loops that will enable you to reach zero gravity,
experience the corkscrew effect and feel a dizzying
fall from a height of 130 feet at a speed peaking
63 miles per hour.
If are looking for fun, but with sensations that are
not as wild, the “Cobra Imperial” (Imperial Cobra)
is waiting for you at the halls commemorating the
festivities of the birth of the Emperor’s son. There
you will also find the “Tea Cups”, that will make
you lose any sense of direction, a chance to feel
like floating without getting up from your seat and
firmly secured to the ground.
And for the youngest ones, in Mongolian territory,
the “China Children Area” has been created with
all kinds of children’s attractions (slides, flying
chairs...).
Exciting shows
As a true reflection of its gymnasts and acrobats, the
virtuosism of these artist was something that could
not be overlooked.
Delicacy and sensitivity are found in the “Temple
Magic” where the soap-bubble show “Bubblebou”
can be watched live. A scene setting plenty of plastic
and visual richness, designed by the Catalonia artist
Pep Bou. Precision, here as well, in view of the huge
fragility of soap bubbles. A show that will enchant
the whole family for its simple exquisiteness.
The youngest ones must not miss as well the “Xian
Mein and the little Panda” outdoor puppet show.
Restaurants
In the land explored by Marco Polo an establishment
paying him tribute could not be missed. That is the
“Marco Polo” buffet, where Chinese food and dishes
from all over the world are served. A meal can also be
had at the “Sichuan” self-service in the Low City of
Ximpang and all kinds of appetizers, meat and fish
from the Far East be tasted. Chinese noodles or the
delicious Sun beef are some of our flagship dishes
that will help you renew the strength you might have
lost in the midst of the fury of Dragon Khan.
Coinciding with the launch of Shambhala, you
can also enjoy the delicious foods that “Dagana
Restaurant” has to offer.
