If you've ever wondered what it's like to run a 100-metre sprint alongside Usain Bolt or ride in the peloton in the Tour de France, you'll be able to find out when Open Camp, the world's first sports theme park, opens in Barcelona next year.

Simulators and other forms of interactive digital technology will give visitors the vicarious thrills of being a downhill skier or a top football player. There will even be award ceremonies with flags and podiums. "We will film it using cameras and drones and a full production team so you can relive the experience on TV at home," the organisers say.

Every night between June and September there will be a full-scale closing ceremony with winners mounting the podium to receive their medals.

The park, covering an area of 95,000 sq metres, will be on Montjuïc, a hill near the city centre. It will exploit the underused Olympic Stadium and other facilities built for the 1992 Olympic Games, which will be upgraded at a cost of €20m (£15.8m). It is expected to create 240 jobs and bring an estimated €53m to the city.

The consortium of 23 companies behind the plan has signed a five-year contract with the city council to rent the facilities for €30m. The basic entrance fee will be €28, similar to most theme parks, and they expect 7,000 visitors a day to take part in the 56 activities on offer.

However, only a full-price ticket at €45 allows you to participate in a game of football or basketball, run a 1500-metre race or take part in an Olympic discipline. Tickets will be on sale via a mobile app that will also serve as a guide to the theme park.

Francesc Medina, the plan's promoter, coined the term "sportainment" for the park. He emphasised that the park is for everyone, "even people with a beer gut".
