Photo TR - PortAventura, Costa Caribe and Spain - 30/8 - 6/9


Recommended Posts

Hi and welcome to what will be my biggest TR. It will include PortAventura Theme Park, Costa Caribe Waterpark and Salou and La Pineda in Spain. PortAventura is one of the worlds best theme parks and i was lucky enough to visit 3 times in one week. I also visited Costa Caribe waterpark, which is next door to PortAventura, once. The waterpark is great and so much fun, i do have some pics of this to show you in a minute. Also there is a few pictures of Salou and La Pineda, which is two areas near PortAventura. Well lets talk about the theme park. They have some of the best rides i have ever been on, including; Dragon Khan, Furius Baco, Tutuki Splash and more. The best was Dragon Khan, which is just so fantastic and smooth. Too smooth for an 14 year old coaster. But thats B&M for you. Also another great rollercoaster is Furius Baco that i absoloutley loved. It has the best barrol roll i have ever been on. So quick and fun. Now Hurakan Condor, what can i say except WHAT A RIDE! Its so good, and scary. I went on it 4 times in 3 days. Well now down to the important stuff!

Thanks for the TR. I was just at the park a couple of weeks ago myself. I don't know how you could have liked Stampida though. It is the roughest coaster I have ever been on by far and I have been on some doosies. For me, Stampida made Psyclone and GhostRider look smooth.

 

I agree that PortAventura is a beautiful park, I just wish that they had more uniqueness. It just seems to be your average amusement park with terrific theming. While I am certainly not complaining about this, it would have been nice to see a couple of unique attractions. The only unique coaster there was Furius Baco and while Dragon Khan was ok, I think Superman at Parque Warner is better.

 

Thanks again!
