Terra Mitica is a theme park in the holiday resort of Benidorm, Spain. Alicante province, and offers a magical journey through the cultures of the Mediterranean. The park has more than 25 rides, shows, restaurants and shops, providing fun for all the family.
On entering Terra Mitica you are swept back to the Mediterranean world of mythical civilisations to experience ancient legends and mysteries. The Park which is made up of 5 zones – Egypt, Greece, Rome, Iberia and The islands – include amongst its attractions the first dark rides of their kind in Europe. The size of the main mechanical attractions is unique both in size and layout.

The highlight would have to be the steel roller coaster. It was 665m high and lasted 35 seconds, with the old “smellies” dangling in the air-whoo-hoo! We could probably have ridden that repeatedly all day. Greece- Synkope is one of the park’s latest and scariest rides on which a giant red wheel holding 70 people spins and swings at the same time causing some serious screams from its occupants. The giant simulator in the temple of Kinetos is another main attraction in this area. Children can discover ancient Greece from horseback.
Benidorm Palace puts on a glittering 3 hour, Las Vegas-style show. Spanish dancers and flamenco, jugglers and magicians, along with a live dance band/orchestra. Benidorm Palace has produced the finest extravaganzas in Europe, and its seating capacity of over 1,500 has accommodated events such as the “Miss Spain” contest, the European An evening meal is included in the entrance fee & is usually made up of 4 courses.

Egypt - Land of the Pharaohs. The myth begins in Ancient Egypt… the pyramids, the Sphinx, the Port of Alexandria, the bazaars… Thrilling rides such as the Falls of the Nile which is a water roller coaster with two falls, the first one of almost 20 metres and the second is a 10 metre fall taken backwards. Other rides include include the Pyramid of Keops, Akuatiti and The Games of Bes.
The Marine and Exotic Animal Park has many outstanding attractions including one of the best dolphinariums in Europe.

Five years after opening, Terra Mitica has financial debts of 114 millions Euros and liabilities of 387 million euros. Visitor numbers fall far below those required for the theme park to be a viable business venture and, according to the Levante, this year’s audit (made public yesterday) warns that the financial state of Terra Mitica reflects uncertainty about the capacity of the company to continue in business. Terra Mitica is one one of Europe’s most exciting theme parks and is Benidorm’s main tourist attraction. It has something for all age groups and for all “fear thresholds”.
