Western Water Park is a water park, located in Magaluf, Mallorca, Spain. The park consists of three areas: Western Land, Indian Town and El Paso. The park has the eleventh-highest slide in the world named The Beast together with El Salto del Diablo (The Devil's Drop) in Aquarama.[1]
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.[2]
About 50 percent of the parks visitors are from England, followed by the residents of Mallorca and subsequently Germany, Russia and Italy. The park is visited by 3,000 to 4,000 people daily. In 2010 250,000 people visited the park.[3]
