Overall, the park has received mostly positive reviews for its wide variety of attractions and "thrill-seeker" water-slides. The park boasts both the highest slide in Spain and longest slide in Mallorca (see "Attractions"). It is the second-largest water-park in Mallorca, behind Aqualand El Arenal.
History
In 1987 the park was inaugurated with the name El Dorado. It did not have any water attractions until 2002, when a series of water attractions, swimming pools, and finally slides, were added. Before, the park also had a show with birds of prey, but management concluded it was not in line with the parks setting and thus the birds were moved to Marineland in Mallorca.[1]
