The Short List, 10 of 15: Parque de Atracciones de Madrid





Rides range from Abismo, one of the fastest roller coasters in the world at 105 km/h, to Tornado, an inverted coaster where legs dangle, and Star Flyer, the park's tallest ride, a chain swing with views across the city. Nickelodeon Land is the younger kids' zone, with a Paw Patrol roller coaster, Rugrats bumper cars, a Ninja Turtles driving school and SpongeBob's Splash Bash, where riders fire water.
