Portaventura - Amusement Parks on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
PortAventura is a theme park in the holiday resort of Salou, Catalonia, Spain, on the Costa Dourada ("Gold Coast"). It is 1 hour from Barcelona and has 2 airports within 30 minutes of it. There is a train station for Port Aventura which has connections to Barcelona and Salou. It was conceived and built as a joint effort by the Tussauds group (Alton Towers), Anheuser-Busch (Busch Gardens) and Universal Studios. In 1997, Universal bought up most shares in the park and the park was rebranded as 'Universal's Port Aventura'. In 2000, two hotels and a water park were constructed, and the place was further rebranded as 'Universal Mediteranea'. In 2004, NBC Universal (Universal Studios' parent) sold all interest in PortAventura. It is now owned and operated by the Caixa banking group, but as of 2005 the Universal name has been dropped from the branding, and the resort was once again named 'PortAventura' (the space is deliberately left out by the park so they can copyright the name). It is one of the largest themeparks in Europe and the biggest resort in the south of Europe.
