PortAventura: General Discussion

I find it interesting that they are undertaking a full repaint of Dragon Khan. Would imply they believe its got a fair bit of life left in it yet. Given its age and how dreadfully it has begun to ride I genuinely thought something would be on the cards for it quite imminently.

I have ridden dragon khan in around 2018, It was one of our favourite coasters at the park, honestly better than shambala…. Which was a terrible experience vs how silver star can run on a good day
 
I’m sure someone will correct me, but Dragon Khan must be one of the oldest B&Ms to have such a long operating season without having ever been retracked. It’s surely time to do something after 30 years.

Kumba at Busch Gardens operates year round and is 2 years older, so if that one hasn’t croaked yet, then I think Khan is safe for now.

Of the B&Ms we’ve seen removed or retracked, I honestly don’t think age alone was the key factor, or at very least, I don’t think age was the sole factor. Hulk had the launch, Nemesis had the pit and the weird supports, Dragon Challenge was disliked by JK Rowling and didn’t really fit within Universal’s hugely bankable IP land, and Green Lantern was generally not very well received at all and commonly thought of as a bit of a strange investment at Six Flags Great Adventure.
 
Admins, I noticed PortAventura is making a big thing about it's 30th anniversary year. Would it be possible to temporarily change the title of this thread for this year? Eg PortAventura (30 year anniversary): General Discussion.
(Europa Park is 50 years too so it could be good for that one too).

Hopefully it'll draw people to contribute towards the celebrations/ events etc.

I can't remember where I read this, but is it true there are slightly discounted fastpass vending machines in the hotel lobbies?

Yes there was when I went a couple years ago in gold river.

I don’t remember it being discounted but I think it had more options. Can anyone verify?
 
In years gone by the express passes purchased at the hotels were the price of a one day pass, but were valid for the duration of your hotel stay.

A year or so ago that changed to remove the multi-day perk and just apply a discount to the purchase of the pass at your hotel. They’re generally a few euros cheaper than if you bought them in general sale from the park.
