PortAventura | Ferrari Land | New Area

Sorry to revive an old topic but do we know how well Ferrari Land did this past year?

I went in July, just before the school holidays, and the place was pretty deserted. Did it pick up?
 
Wonder whether there will be a new kiddie cred? Are they putting this where Hotel Ferrari was going to be, as that was apparently cancelled in favour of expanding the park.
 
The park defiantly needs expanding. Kids rides are ok, but the park needs something for everyone as well. There is not enough for the ticket price.
 
I got in for €5 and felt ripped off. As a 'land' it would have worked, not as a second theme park.

Where was the hotel meant to go? Google Maps hasn't updated the sat view so I'm unsure of the exact layout of the park.

I think they have a way to go to make it into a proper second theme park, hopefully this is the start.
 
Found some more information on the new attractions on TPR:-

So there will be a family coaster, and basically smaller versions of the other attractions in the park. All of the new rides are rumoured to be by SBF Visa.
 
SBF Visa? If so, could the coaster be one of those little spinning coasters that they do? If so, one of those seems slightly odd for PortAventura, in my opinion.
 
Sorry for double posting, but according to RCDB, Junior Red Force will be a Zamperla Speedy Coaster.
 
I love how it's called "Junior Red Force". You'd almost be hard pressed to find a more junior coaster, in comparison. :p
 
I just can't see much appeal to kids because every ride has got to have a ferrari/car related theme and it just doesn't feel like enough to hold up an entire park like that, especially while next door to a theme park that is x10 better. People may go once, but surely you'd realise that once is enough after a couple of hours? The staff must be creatively spent at this point, looking at their investments and creative choices; I can't see how this will sustain itself.
 
^Doesn't the "Jr" basically defeat the whole purpose of Goliath? Then again, Junior RED Force can't be much worse cause they're painting the ****er yellow (well the track anyway).

Crossposting, I think it's actually going to be an SBF visa "Race Coaster” like this one at Gumbaya World.....veeery similar layout and supports, and matches the other rides being SBF.

Fantastic news! I've been holding off revisiting for years, but this may have swung it. Shambhala and Red Force will be nice bonuses.

Portaventura have posted some photos on Facebook showcasing a couple of the rides of the new area:-

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but the park says this area is to open on the 20th April. No sign of the coaster yet (I think). I think this is a really great addition to Ferrari Land, and I hope to get there soon! (Anything would have been a great addition at this point).
