Beto Carrero World

Today was the day we were waiting for. This is the reason why we hung out in the area waiting for the rain to go away. Beto Carrero World is the largest amusement park in Latin America. This was the kids end of school "reward". Let's be honest, we would be going here anyways. It rained in the morning but was clearing. It was Sunday and it was busy. Not summer time crowds busy, but busy enough that some rides had an hour wait. Fortunately our kids are not into rides that much. The pricing scheme is interesting. If you are buying tickets for the same day, it comes to $70/person. If you are buying for tomorrow or any other day it comes to $22. 

We took an Uber to the park for opening at 10am. We had no expectations and just wandered around. We had booked lunch at the Excalibur show, a jousting show, for $20. It was easy to walk around the park. There were different zones with different licensed intellectual properties. There was a German village, a pirate island, Madagascar area, hot wheels area, Nerf gun area, and Cowboy area.

The Excalibur show was great even though it was all in Portuguese. The kids understood it and loved it. When I attended a show in Las Vegas it was very similar but served a Cornish hen. This one serves an ultraprocessed hamburger with some steak fries.

The kids rode a carousel and a kiddie roller coaster.
There was a hot wheels stunt car show which was incredible. It was easily the most impressive stunt show I have ever watched. The cars were drifting everywhere and doing donuts next to each other and they did jumps and even walked around next to a spinning car and bike and semi truck.

There was a Madagascar themed circus show with BMX stunt bikes on a half pipe.

I have never seen the movies but it was great. We had snacks and acai and Guarana drinks and some tapioca based crepes savory and sweet. 

We finished the night with some pepperoni pizza and the Trolls show which had fireworks to boot.

All that for $20/person. Amazing. 

We took the Uber back to the hotel and ran load of laundry and watched Madagascar.
