I was in PW last year and Stunt Fall ran great! It is soooo intense!! Love GIBs! Maybe you ride it after Coaster Express hahaha ^Only suffered the infamous full train rule in the inverted Intamin at Parque de Atracciones. I never suffered big crowds in PW and never used a Fastpass or felt I should use it. Anyway, It is time for school trips in Spain, so maybe there are a lot of teenagers around any day... I would recommend you to go in the park and buy it after checking the crowds. Something curious that I always experience in PW is that one hour waiting time can be a walk-on two hours later. I always walk around the park looking for empty rides, it is a small, easy to walk park.

Surprising! There where some rumours about a big announcement yesterday... but this is totally unexpected! They don't say anything about if it will be independt (as the water park is) or not. I would prefer it to be independent: Port Aventura is about new worlds, discovering, adventure, cultures... I wouldn't like it to be part of the park. It has no sense with the theming of exploring. That original idea has been a little bit forgotten with so many investors. Great news, anyway!

Oh dear God! I just arrived from Happy Valley Shanghai (my first chinese park) and now I understand all TPR community when you complain about chinese park operations... Everything was a NOSENSE! I got REALLY nervous... not a "Happy" experience at all. The Dive Coaster (Sic.) luckily was operating two trains. Both waiting in the station one after another. The Wooden Coaster (Sic.) had a five people crew (one for taking the onride picture with a reflex camera) and they were dispatching the train every 10 or 7 minutes (the best of the 9 trains I waited = around 90 minutes waiting for 10 dispatches). Crazy. The weirdest thing is how they TOTALLY emptied the stations before allowing the next group to go in the station, then wait in the doors to open, then go in the trains. They even don't allow you to leave the station until everybody has taken their stuff form the booths! You have to wait to leave! OMG I GOT VEEERY NERVOUS TODAY! Crazy operations, at least, in (un)Happy Valley Shanghai. (Sorry if I made some mistake with my English. I'm spanish and I'm very nervous!)

^ Well, actually any of my work mates, my company or myself had to sign anything. I tell you more: access controls were surprisingly weak. Meaning that we didn't even showed our IDs or signed a register to acces in the offices or working areas. I was really surprised! I neither want giving problems to TPR. If moderators considerate it, I will automatically delete them.

Soooo... I've been very luckily lastly and I got a new job in Shanghai! And the first project I got is related to Shanghai Disneyland! YEAH! I just arrived from the place and I was all the time thinking about posting in TPR hahaha I can confirm the list of rides. ALL of them. Saw the list in the offices. Theres a HUGE amount of dirt and some vertical construction too: Toon Town, both hotels, what I assume it is the Soarin' building (It is a HUGE box-shape structure) and a coaster (I suppose it is TRON) too! Most of the coaster is already built! It looks great! very twisty and.... it totally includes a launch! looking great! Maybe I am talking too much, but I would say it is a Vekoma coaster (after years and years of reading TPR I'm still not an expert... shame on me!) Didn't see any work in a building to cover the coaster, that's why I am not very sure it was TRON coaster. But it wasn't the seven dwarfs mine train, that's sure. Despite it, the rest of the park is just pure mud and dirt, anithing else. Saw some renders of the park in the offices and, yeah, it looks very original, huge and great! People working there were awesome too, it is impresive to see how much pre-production work a Disney park needs just for our enjoyment! And how many people it employs! Hope to visit the construction area soon and be able to tell you more things about Shanghai Disneyland! Tron? Coaster Soaring over somewhere building? maybe? You can't say with this picture, but it is HUGE.

Hey! Madrilenian (at least someone living in Madrid) here! My advise would be just paying for a roundtrip for the train (you take it it Atocha Cercanías Station) and then a roundtrip in the bus in Pinto. I have a pass only for the A zone (City Center) and is the cheapest way to reach Parque Warner, sadly. There are usually some promotions and discounts for Parque Warner in pages like atrapalo.com (only in spanish, sorry). Reaching Parque de Atracciones is much easier as you only have to pick the subway (line 10, Lago Station). You could probably use your Tourist Pass for this one, as is in the A Zone. Hope this helps! Don't hesitate asking!

I live in Madrid and I would say that is not the best place to build a water park. Tourism here is looking for culture, party... but not a water park. You have hundred of them in the incredibly sunny and warm coast, but you can barely enjoy three/four warm months a year here. At least warmer enough to go to a water park, in my opinion. Furthermore, Parques Reunidos (owner of Parque Warner) owns another two water parks 30 minutes driving from this one. I don't get the point neither. None of them are outstanding or have any remarkable slides... I don't know wich plans do they have for this one. I will try to keep you updated! ;-D

Apparently, no... Splash Battle, sadly

Port Aventura has just released the "Non-Stop FastPass". This pass allows users to repeat rides in the same seat as much as they want, you don't even need to stand up. This pass will cost 59€ (around 70-75$) plus the entrance. I think this new option it's too complicated and will get attendants crazy. Some PA Fans are talking about organizing a Sahmbala marathon: get 60 people with this pass and ride it all day long, just to show PA how problematic this pass could be, for queuing, other fastpass users (PA promise them no more than 15 mins waits) and, overall, workers. What's your opinion on this new option?? How would it affect to FastPass holders? (PA is actually offering around 6 different FastPasses!) Unfotunately, I can give more info on this pass, as PA webpage security certificate is apparently no working in my computer.

Local diaries are talking about an... AQUATIC FAMILY RIDE (Did I spell that right??) Let the rumours begin!! (I still can't post links or pics... but trust me!)

My god! Would be awesome riding with that lightwork! It's not gonna happen, right?

Not for a ride, but yes for Port Aventura's Halloween "Selva del Miedo" maze. And you know what?? Totally worth it, seriously!

DAMN!! This is gooood!! For me it looks a superb coaster, a nice theming and an awesome adittion for the industry in Europe!! And, seriously... are we going to complain because of the splash?? SERIOUSLY?? I post a video made by PACTv in the last row that I think it shows better the serious airtime that this thing has!! MOD edit: link pulled due to illegal pov (I love when, at the top of the lift, somebody screams WTFFFF! It sumarizes very well what you get!)
