PortAventura: General Discussion

[DavidRock]

Just got back to the hotel from PA...... damn the operations are dire...worse than last year..... most queues 90 mins +

Also staff faffing around when adding a 3rd train for Dragon Khan. (Was 2 trains from the station).

One staff member closing OTSR on new train and other then opening them.... que staff member moving arms to say we can't send it with the restraints up.

Did Red Force as damn it crests so slow.

Ok day on park. Just Operations need a kick up the arse.

Queue for water rides 2 hours and rest mostly 60 to 90 mins.

EXPRESS PASS all sold out at start of day.

BLoody Queue jumpers and a couple constant vaping in front of me on uncharted que

will be interesting to see what it turns out to be, would think you could fit an Intamin gyroswing and queue line etc, always thought a large Intamin gyro swing would fit the park well.

Just did PortAventura a month ago and come back from Parque Warner yesterday. I think either or both parks would benefit from an Intamin Gyro Swing.

I saw this on CoasterForce and thought Family Boomerang: https://coasterforce.com/forums/threads/what-is-portaventura-doing-in-the-mexico-area.47622/

See i said i was hesitant to visit the park because of this and some people defended it but i've never heard this complaint anywhere near as much as i've heard it about PortAventura.

Actually that reminds me, a group of youths tried to do this at Chessington on my sons school trip and the headteacher was in the line who went nuclear on them and somehow managed to get them thrown out the park!

The lore of PA was they that sell unlimited Express Passes.. Shocked to hear they have actually sold out. It's rep is warranted on queues and ops which is a shame because this park clearly has so much potential to be one of the best in Europe.. it's a beautiful place with great rides

PA and Towers are in a similar place. Beautiful parks, the bones of being great but one has poor leadership and budget, the other horrendous ops and greed.

Now we just have to figure out which is which.
