PortAventura World has shared detailed designs, ride specifications, and attraction names for its two major family-focused expansions scheduled to open in the summer of 2026.

The updates expand on the initial projects first announced during the FITUR 2026 tourism fair in January, which introduce new experiences to both Caribe Aquatic Park and PortAventura Park.

The two new attractions are designed to enhance the resort's multi-generational appeal, shifting the focus towards highly immersive outdoor storytelling and shared family activities rather than high-intensity thrill rides.

Coral Bay, La Leyenda Perdida – Major Caribe Aquatic Park Expansion

The headline project for 2026 is Coral Bay, La Leyenda Perdida (The Lost Legend), a new 6,000 m² themed family area at Caribe Aquatic Park. The environment is styled as an ancient pirate hideout that was submerged for centuries before re-emerging from the ocean depths.

While the initial announcement outlined the general scale of the water park expansion, newly released specifications confirm the full attraction line-up and official names for the zone:

• Cyclone: The family water coaster, previously noted as unique in Europe, is now confirmed to be the world’s second water coaster of this specific family-friendly model.
• Bahía Pirata: The resort’s world-exclusive adventure pool, which combines traditional swimming with an aquatic obstacle course.
• The Crab: A prominent multi-slide tower featuring five distinct sliding routes engineered specifically for families.
• Splash Port: A newly detailed interactive water play zone designed with low-depth features for younger children and toddlers.
• El Bucanero: The area's dedicated food and beverage outlet, which will be accompanied by integrated rest zones themed into the surrounding pirate ruins.

Makamanu Jungle, The Adventure Trek – New Experience in Polynesia

Inside the main theme park, Makamanu Jungle, The Adventure Trek will transform the established Polynesia area. Rather than a traditional ride, the outdoor adventure trail encourages guests to explore a dense jungle environment.

While the name "Makamanu" is rooted in Polynesian mythology and refers to a "bird's gaze," the final design themes the physical trail as an ancient volcanic quarry hidden deep in the tropical greenery.

The 135-metre-long elevated trail has been designed to suit varying levels of physical activity. The final infrastructure layout will feature:

• A large, four-storey central structure acting as the main activity hub.
• 18 elevated treehouse-style lookout cabins.
• 20 suspended rope tunnels and bridges.
• 3 heavy-duty net climbing ladders and 4 integrated exit slides.
• A dedicated harnessed rope course for guests seeking a more intense physical challenge.

To ensure inclusivity across the multi-generational target audience, the trail will incorporate designated spaces accessible to people with reduced mobility. The environment will also feature subtle visual references and nods to the historic legacy of Polynesia's iconic live shows from the resort's past.

Furthermore, a brand-new passage will be constructed to connect the Far West area directly to Polynesia, creating a new routing shortcut for guests that leads straight to the entrance of the trail.

Both Coral Bay and Makamanu Jungle are on track to open in the summer of 2026, anchoring the resort's ongoing strategy of introducing fresh outdoor experiences for both first-time visitors and returning holidaymakers.
