One of my absolute favorite theme parks in Europe is PortAventura Park, which interestingly enough used to be a Universal park! Now not associated with any outside theme park company, this gorgeous park is home to some of Europes best roller coasters, as well as plenty of stunning theming.

fences in Europe: we put up a sign that says "do not enter dangerous etc" and if you then get an accident, usually no judge would ever go to court if you want to sue them. It's more of a "no one in their right mind would jump on the coastertrack" kinda mindset

americans think like that. I mean I've been to the US and we made like a 2 day trip from georgia to south of texas. Texas is bigger than germany and in germany driving like an hour is considered a long trip. Like where I live I need about 2 hours to get to france, netherlands, belgium or luxemburg. About 3-4 hours to get to the biggest cities in germany. And when you do a trip to any of those countries you plan like for weeks and stay for like 5 days because it is considered to be far away. Then you are in the US and take a 11 hour driving trip and its like nothing. I mean every sunday we went to a church a state over, a 40 minute drive.

I went here back in 2018, and this is currently my favorite theme park. I really enjoyed most of the coasters, but I was disappointed by Stampida. I've ridden bigger and better CCI, so that I found it to be forceless. My other real complaint would be the fact that it's impossible to pick your row, unless you have a fast pass. I got middle seats most of the time, especially on Shambahla and Red Force ( I pack PA and Ferrari Land together ) ... My favorite ride here is Dragon Khan, followed by Shambahla and Furius Baco. Last but not least, their bumper cars amazed me ! We had so much space to drive, whereas all cars were occupied ! The theming was obviously cool, especially in Ferrari Land, and I found that the resort is really convenient. Even Disneyland Paris isn't that easy to access ! We stayed in a B&B in Salou, so we just had to walk 10 minutes to get to the park. This also means that you can easily go to a supermarket, a restaurant or a nightclub after your day, so that the whole city is like an extension of the resort. Buses desserve Salou from Barcelona and Tarragona, so you can just take it at the airport. To sum up, I really like this place, and I strongly recommend it.

Long story short, Vivendi/Universal was going through a bad time at some point almost 20 years ago, and made the decision to sell ONE of the actives of Universal Parks & Resorts as a way of saving money. They obviously weren't selling Universal Orlando or Hollywood, so there was only one park left... So they sold it to an spanish bank that a handful of years later sold it to the actual owners, an italian group. And yes, for quite some time PortAventura was considered the third Universal Park, officialy known as Universal Studios PortAventura; even today you can find old signage such as remanents of the "Universal Express" fast passes at some rides. Nowadays it's the only profitable theme park in Spain, but at that time Universal was in a really bad situation.

I have been to every coaster in phantasialand except black mamba, dont know if I like my legs without ground underneath lol. You said that portaventura is the best park and that is why I really wanna go there and you said how awesome efteling is.

We love, love, love Europa-Park and have been there a couple times. It's very chill, beautiful, fully integrated with the natural surroundings, and now with the newly built hotels in the proximity, makes it even more fun and comfortable.

We go there every year from the U.K. because we can’t afford to go America, we love the place. If you ever go back for a week consider a hotel called the gran Regina hotel. It’s 10 min walk from the park or €5 taxi ride and the hotel is amazing. All you can eat and drink and staff are amazing. Love your review, we always get the unlimited queue jump because it’s hot in September and don’t wanna stand in queues.

Hi, how much extra is a unlimited que jump pass? I have two kids under 7 is there plenty to keep them entertained as big rides could be daunting. Thanks

@mattradovr6 5 жыл бұрын

Umran Mushtaq hi the unlimited queue jump is about €60 per person but worth every penny and yes there is lots for kids to do. They have your usual rides like a pirate ship and smaller coasters and lots of shows. Plus at the end of the day they do an amazing firework display. Not sure if that is from the day the park opens to the day it closes as we only go in September but every night in September there is an amazing firework display.

Umran Mushtaq also I think the only big ride that could be daunting would be shambhala and maybe red force. Everything else isn’t that tall. Feel free to ask any more questions

Avoid the summer, as the heat will seriously mess you up after a full day. I got super sunburnt but that's my fault lol

Agree about it being one of the best and most beautiful parks in europe and definitely on them pushing the fast passes really hard. Hate to give in but I wouldn‘t do the park without one if it isn‘t an incredibly calm day - which I‘m not even sure exists over there.

It has one or two forceful inversions which are fun, mostly it's quite rattly and rough. It's OK but not worth marathoning

I visited Port Aventura and Ferrari Land in october last year. The whole park was totally empty on this day and it was one of the best days at a theme park. It was so much fun to ride Shambhala and Red Force all day. But Dragon Khan wasn't that good in my opinion.

As a person whose local park is PortAventura, I always recommend to bring your own food, also, I always bring a bottle of water and refill it inside the bathroom. However the golden rule is to NEVER go on a crowded day, because i've never seen them running 3 trains in my life, and when there aren't much people, ride operators are often cool and let you choose your row or even ride the atraction again without having to go trough the queue (One time i rode shambala 3 times in a row without leaving my seat :D)

There are *sometimes* 3 on shambala, but very rarely and only in summer. Usually 2 max tho

Furious Baco theme is all about wine. Where Port aventura is located and in general the whole mediterranian area there is an old wine production tradition and thats what furious baco is about

Depends on the region tho, Madrid has a pretty great tap water, aswell as Bilbao and the northern regions, but ofc, as you go to the south it gets worse and worse to the point you shouldn't drink it, this is just because these are dry regions, but it doesn't apply for the whole country.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I'm kinda glad that you're releasing the European park reviews now, as opposed to right after your trip. Having them in mid-winter makes the off-season a bit easier to bear, and it's a nice reminder of what you did last summer. I suspect your reviews are more thoughtful for having some distance from the experience, too.

@CoasterStudios 5 жыл бұрын

Brian MacDonald i'm glad! Believe it or not, that is exactly why I am releasing them all now. It makes the off season easier, and it also gave me plenty of time to digest everything and think about my experience at each of these parks, so the reviews are the fairest they can be.

I ate waffles with tiny oreo cookies on top. Also, the theming has changed to sesame street. The drop tower is the most intense ride and doesn't have a fast pass lane.

It’s not Italy, the zone is called ‘Mediterranea’. It is a representation of a ‘classic’ mediterranean fishing village. The thing about the fences... It’s about common sense, we don’t think that’s strange. Water fountains are not usually a problem. Food is regular, I agree. Woody is not huge in Spain, they made it the park pet when they where owned by Universal (maybe even before), and they stuck with him. The thing about using less trains, that’s about the amount of people, I have never felt they are trying to sell more express passes. There’s always 2 or even 3 trains in Dragon Khan in packed days. Great that you loved it. Some of us who have been going to PA since we were a child miss some details that no longer works, especially some FX in atractions.
