PortAventura Discussion Thread

[VegasCoaster]

I'm headed to PortAventura in a few weeks and curious if there are any estimates for how long it'll take to go through the park on a Wednesday. Planning on doing it as a day trip from Barcelona on the train or maybe bus. I'm not anticipating much in terms of lines, but I'm not sure if their halloween theming and/or events is drawing larger crowds closer to Halloween (we'll be going the 30th). We'll certainly want to get all the credits and get in some other rides / enjoy the park, but we might want to not close the park down and head back to Barcelona to get more culture time in if that's reasonable.

The park isn't open until too late so that's usually a good indicator. You can also always decide to purchase their skip the line pass when you're in the park. Operations are usually dreadful, so even on slower days lines can back up.  It's a pretty big park too, so also take into account that the rides sometimes can be quite a walk from one another. Have fun tho, weather should be quite chill and the park has some beautiful landscaping.
