AParque Warner Madrid is one of Europe’s leading theme parks for thrill seekers and families alike, bringing iconic movie worlds to life just outside the Spanish capital. From adrenaline-filled coasters to immersive shows and family adventures, the park combines big emotions with unforgettable entertainment. As we look ahead to 2026, we sat down with Javier Guarido, General Manager, to share insider tips on how to make the most of your visit and what guests can look forward to next.

As General Manager, how would you describe the essence of Parque Warner Madrid to someone visiting for the first time?

The essence of Parque Warner is experiencing the thrill of cinema first-hand. Everything you live and feel across its five themed areas — Hollywood Boulevard, Cartoon Village, Old West Territory, DC Super Heroes World and Movie World Studios — is designed to immerse you in different worlds. You can become a cowboy, fly like Superman or explore the largest children’s and family area in Europe, all within the park. Our attractions, shows, shops and restaurants are carefully crafted to offer visitors a destination where all audiences can enjoy a truly cinematic day.

If you had to share just one insider tip to help guests make the most of their visit, what would it be?

My best advice is simple: enjoy it. Forget about the real world outside, soak up the essence of Parque Warner Madrid and embrace everything the park has to offer. Some of the most unforgettable memories are created when you least expect them, which is why it’s important to live the experience to the fullest.

Which attractions or experiences would you say are absolute must-dos, and why?

Parque Warner Madrid offers a full 360-degree experience, and our recommendation is to explore all the different options the park provides. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or someone who prefers to enjoy our restaurants and shows, the overall experience is pure movie magic. If I had to choose one standout today, it would be our latest addition, the multi-launch roller coaster Batman Gotham City Escape. It delivers a truly unique and immersive experience and once you step off, all you’ll want to do is ride it again and again.

What is your personal favorite attraction or moment in the park?

There are so many that it’s hard to choose, but I’ll go with what I believe is the most special moment of all: the instant you walk through the park entrance and realize that you’re truly here, about to experience an unforgettable day. It may sound simple, but that mix of excitement and anticipation before everything begins creates a feeling that’s hard to describe and even harder to understand unless you’ve lived it yourself.

What advice would you give guests to plan their day better and avoid common mistakes?

During your visit, having the official park app on your phone is more than enough, as it shows real-time waiting times for attractions, show schedules and plenty of useful information. Visitors can also download information from our official website to plan their day in advance or purchase the Pase Correcaminos to reduce waiting times on attractions or reserve seats at shows, making the most of their visit. We also recommend that guests with disabilities download the Accessibility Guide from our website, developed in collaboration with Plena Inclusión.

Looking ahead to 2026, what can our visitors expect? Are there any novelties, improvements or surprises you’re particularly excited about?

I’m genuinely excited about what lies ahead. 2026 will be an important year, with new improvements across different areas and departments where we are investing significantly. We are placing great emphasis on delivering the best possible guest experience, with a strong focus on park presentation and the renewal of our most important show.

What would you like to say to guests who are considering visiting Parque Warner Madrid this season?

I would tell them to come ready to feel excited, to laugh, to scream and to share unique moments. At Parque Warner Madrid, no two visits are ever the same. There’s always something new to discover, whether it’s an attraction, a show, a special season or simply the magic of living your favorite films in real life. Everything is designed to make your day unforgettable, so if you’re looking for a plan that has it all, your perfect movie day is waiting for you here.
