It’s been 6pm closes here all week. Saturday and Sunday were 8 and 7pm closes
We went on Tuesday, as it was forecast to be a cooler, overcast day (even thought it got super hot in the afternoon).
And I wouldn’t call it dead.
The queue jumping and kids really are a bone of contention for me.
Unlike Merlin parks, which handle queues effectively and often quickly and they tend to die off in the afternoon, I just didn’t find that with Port Aventura.
Unless you’re there as the rides open, queues form in a moment. And with the pure switch back cattle pens, provide a perfect environment for queue jumping kids who just turn their backs on admonishments.
Yesterday I went in to the park alone and got an unlimited fast pass and rode Shambhala to my hearts content. It really is a butter airtime machine.
