Halloween arrives at PortAventura World: with its new passage ‘The Legend of the Cannibal King’

PortAventura World presents this year’s Halloween season and with it, its new passage of terror: ‘The Legend of the Cannibal King’. Located in the Angkor attraction, this is a thrilling open-air ride of pure adrenaline that promises both fear and fun. In a circuit with six different scenarios, visitors are guided to the Angkor temple by the underground travel agency ‘Oriental Adventure Expeditions’, which specialises in expeditions to the most dangerous and forbidden places. A tour guide will accompany them to this cursed temple, where the participants will have to overcome various trials and scares to find their way out of the Kingdom of Angkor and thus to safety from the dreaded Cannibal King and his army of monkeys.

The Halloween campaign, which welcomes thousands of visitors every year, will last for more than 50 days, from 21 September to 10 November. During this period, horror and adrenaline lovers can enjoy the unique theming, the thrilling shows specially created for the season and the now iconic terror passages.
