Best Drop Ride!!!
portaventura07 replied to coaster_shorty's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Yes I have been on it 60 times As far as tower rides go, it's unbelievable. The suspense is amazing, the theming is amazing, and its experience is amplified at night. Although I never got much in terms of airtime -

Hurukan, easily. -
Worst Coaster Experience
portaventura07 replied to airforcekid's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Stampida at PA. Boy, Does it brake your back. Also, Tomahawk, also at PA. On another note, I did not like Baco. Far too rough. -

Portaventura! The meditarrania area with baco, khan and hurukan peeping through is so amazing. -
Head Choppers
portaventura07 replied to CdnbMatt's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Stampida has a good head chopper on the first drop. Grand National has tons of choppers. -

Getting stuck on a ride!
portaventura07 replied to disneygurlz2s's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Baco broke down on me, with one second to go to launch. The mad inventor fell into the wine, then...nothing. Screens went blank and sound stopped. Mechanics rolled us back into station(after disengaging winch and brake fins) and got us out. They sent one train round then got us back on. I seen them checking the restraints, and I think a restraint may have come loose and the failsafe kicked in, not too sure. -

Yeh, it's better at night, and the atmosphere is better as well. Queue for the front seat at night and go on the inside seat and you will absolutely love it. One thing I have noticed is the further back you go the rougher it is (same with khan btw). On stampida, avoid the front at all costs. on the double hill up after the first drop you get slammed into your retraints. Better yet don't go on it at all lol. On hurukan, well it's amazing no matter what lol. Stand up can be painful so make sure you hold on. Also remember to look at the camara and not down. -

Baco is painful because the outside seats recieve a shit load of vibrations from the rest of the train and the track. If you go on the very left you get jolted in such a way that it pulls a muscle or something. -

The sensation on the launch on baco is a 10th of the feeling you get on rita. make sure you ride hurukan, i rode 57 times lol. go on templo del fuego even if you have done it before it has been improved with extra effects. don't go on stampida, unless you want a headache and a sore back. do all the haunted walk throughs. if you don't speak spannish dont see la hora gore. finally, don't ride the outside seats of baco and queue for the front it's worth it. edit: also, do single rider on hurukan, way way quicker. have a good time everyone. -

^ Not really a powerful launch. RITA was way more powerful. and the layout is boring, apart from the first drop after the launch and the inversion their is nothing. 0-84 in 3.5 seconds ain't a powerful launch. It never even took my breath away, and accelarators usually make me pull a face, but this one did not. -

I'm about to say something that will make you all hate me... Baco was shit. honestly, go on the outer left seats, at the very back, or on the outer seats in general, and you will see what i mean. The launch was forceless, I couldn't even feel it. Also, the damn thing is so unreliable, it must have broke down like every single day i was there. -
The thorpe topic shouldn't have been locked, as as it is from a respected member on coasterforce.com. He has written it is not confirmed but he has got the info from a very good authority.
