I went to Spain in 2002 but I don't remember the name of the place.
I was 15 and I remember once standing on the balcony of the top floor of our hotel looking at a roller coaster in the distance. It must have been ten miles (~16 km) away and looked like it was on a hill.
In future when/if I decide to renew my passport, or get a new one, would there be any way of finding out where I went, which airline, etc?
Edit: after doing some Googling, searching for roller coasters in Spain, looking at pictures, opening dates, etc, I think it was Stampida, PortAdventura.
But like I say, I didn't go there, I was looking at it in the distance.
Best Answer
In case it was a wooden roller coaster, the two main options are Stampida in Port Aventura and Magnus Colossus in Terra Mítica. I would bet you were seeing the second one for a couple reasons:
- Terra Mítica has a hill just behind Magnus Colossus. On the other hand, Stampida is in a plain area.
- Benidorm (the closest city to Terra Mítica) has always been crowded with British people. Nowadays, around 30% of all British tourists in Spain go to Benidorm, where they occupy 50% of the available hotel rooms.
- Benidorm has some of the tallest hotels in Spain, so you were probably able to see the distant amusement park from the top floor of one of them. I don't know if this is possible from Cambrils, Salou or any other city near Port Aventura.
