A SCARY new theme park is set to open in the province of Barcelona this autumn to coincide with Hallowe'en and get visitors into the spirit of the season.
Horrorland will be based in the disused waterworks and neighbouring warehouses in Cercs, a town around an hour from Barcelona city.
According to promotional blurb for the park, it will be a place where 'nightmares become reality' and will include numerous attractions and rides with a 'terror' theme, plus 'challenge' or obstacle courses where visitors have to get through 'frightening' hurdles to reach the final.
This will be the first Horrorland park in southern Europe – others in the series exist already in the UK, The Netherlands and Germany – and is run by the Catalunya-based companies Insomnia Group and Horror Box.
Dubbed a 'scream park' – a word-play on 'theme park' – Horrorland Barcelona will open over weekends between October 11 and November 17, for a total of 15 days.
Prices and opening times will be posted on its website nearer the time.
