Trip to salou 2007

I am going to Port Aventura in 4 and half weeks time. Can anyone tell me if hurkan condor and furious baco are any good. I cant wait to try these rides out.

Condor is fine....like any other drop ride. Baco is either a love it or hate it. Just sit on the inside....closest to the front as possible for the smoothest ride.

Hurakan Condor is an awesome ride, especially the standing positions. Unfortunately, you don't get to choose whether you get sitting or standing. Also, if you want to greatly reduce your waiting time on this, use the single rider line, since there's no express option on this ride. Furius Baco broke down when I was there, after an hour in line- GRRR!

There have been tons of Port Aventura reports posted since we all just went to Spain. Do a search for "PortAventura Trip Report" and I'm sure you'll find lots of help! Have a look at this thread for starters:

MMmmm... Hurakan Condor... Mmm

 

Yeah so like. Hurakan was the main reason I went on the TPR Spain trip.. And it made the trip 100% worth it

Wow this is really cool onride pic. I didnt know there is something up there. Well it looks so high and no chance I will dare to ride any drop ride ever ever ever. I bet my on ride pic will be me crying and crying.

Hi everyone. I am in spain atm and lovin it. Went to PortAventura monday and got on furius baco. It was awesome and i loved every minute of it. I didnt like the that much, but loved the launch. I never though that being hurled from 0 - 135 kph would be so good, it was like somone pushin against your chest.

 

As for Hurakan Condor, omg it was awesome but frighting at the same time. I never though it was that high until i was up there. My heart was in my mouth all the time. And the drop was awesome, it felt as if i was being lifted out of my seat.

 

All PortAventura needs is an inverted rollercoaster, which i would love.

I've recently got back from a trip to PortAventura and all things considered thought it was an amazing theme park.

 

Furius Baco is amazing. The right side is much smoother than the left, and as others have said sit near the front. The front seat is AWESOME - but again, much better on the right hand side of the train. The left seats are really rough.

 

Try and get on the rides in the dark, it makes for a whole different experience, especially Stampida!

 

I was a little dissapointed with Hurricane Condor, it looks a lot scarier than it is to ride. You get a nice view, and the build up/tension before riding is great. It takes amazing onboard photos but the drop itself feels a little weak compared to other Intamin drop towers I've ridden.
