Close-up view of the vintage 1928, Avio plane ride, in operation at the Tibidabo Theme Park. The Plane This was the last great work of Dr Andreu and is perhaps the most emblematic ride in the Park. In the words of the marketing announcement back in 1928, "It transports you like a giant bird over an amazing backdrop, and you will feel as if you were flying in a (real) plane." Built in the Estrada workshops in Sarria (Barcelona), and planned by the Fath engineers under the management of Marià Rubió, it is a replica of the first aircraft that flew the Barcelona-Madrid route. Interestingly, it is powered by its own propeller and inside it still preserves some of original parts from the period, such as those from the 1933 radio-telephone station.
