The story of Stampida
PortAventura’s young park received Stampida in 1997, placing a great wooden race in the Far West section. For the traveller arriving in Tarragona, it was a broad new piece of timber engineering beside the resort’s avenues. coasterpedia.net· portaventuraworld.com
Custom Coasters International furnished the ride as a twin wooden coaster. The two routes climb, descend, separate, and meet again, making the contest visible to passengers as well as to visitors watching from the paths below. coasterpedia.net· portaventuraworld.com
The park’s own account describes Stampida as nearly a kilometre of wooden rises, falls, bends, tunnels, and dust, with a first descent of more than twenty-five metres and a top speed of 74 km/h. portaventuraworld.com
PortAventura has continued to tend the wooden structure. Its blog notes annual maintenance, pressure-treated southern yellow pine, and the old-fashioned movement that comes from timber, weather, and steel running strips working together. portaventuraworld.com· portaventuraworld.com
