feel the resonance of your ancestors
I'm having trouble with 'idols'. What does it refer to? Religious idols? Pop idols?? As we're talking about locations all over the world, maybe something a little more commonly used would be better. Even using 'your' is problematic here, whether talking about idols or ancestors.
feel the resonance/echoes of your/the ancestors

Having thought some more, I'd go for 'feel the echoes of the ancestors'. But we need to clarify the context of the text a little more. Assuming the text is about adventure trips, exotic journeys to legendary places (Machu Picchu etc), then the original sentence makes no sense. So, we have to change it! Which is what I've tried to do. As Patricia has implied, I don't think 'ídolos' is the right word. And also, I´m not sure that you can 'thrill with somebody' in English, either;) Am I wrong there?

Where does it say anything about a theme park, in this post or the previous one?

: En España tus ídolos se referiría a músicos o deportistas - no creo que sean ídolos religiosos ni ancestros (no utilizaría tus) If it is a parque temático it could refer to Mickey Mouse, Power Rangers or what have you.

Yes, that's why I was unsure. What idols are these?

: It could well be motorcycling heroes. All those places are on the motorcycling calendar

share the excitement with your idols / heroes
Looking at the places mentioned I guess it's talking about motorcycling

neilmac
: You're right, they are all racing circuits so it's probably racing heroes/idols/stars

thrill with your idols
Idols avoids the hero/heroine dichotomy. This text sounds like Terra Mitica.

The trips/excursions might include theme parks, according to my ghostly ancestors...

But it looks like DC has hit the target - they are all motor/bike racing venues. So forget the theme parks...
