dubbis Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Today Shambhala has opened all day Well, that's really good news! I'm surprised though that this sort of thing/things occurs on a brand new B&M. Tight time schedule perhaps...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 One comment I have to make is about the god awful Furius Baco. I rode it once, and no more since it rattled my body to pieces in no way I have ever felt before. I'm talking a roughness that FAR bypasses anything you can feel on Stampida. Please someone reassure me that it is not normally that rough because I truly hated it and wished it would finish. It was far too rough to enjoy. However, shortly afterwards it shut for technical reason for the last 2 days I was there so I am hoping the extreme roughness was part of the fault. The inside seats in the front two rows are much smoother than the outside sides at the back of the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inside seats in the front two rows are much smoother than the outside sides at the back of the train. I totally agree with that. I rode it twice last autumn and the first ride on the outside seat was painful. After that i tried the inside seat and it was a lot smoother. My guess was that the outside seats were more sensitive to vibrations since they're not so close to the track. I'm really not an expert in physics, that was just a wild guess and i haven't ridden Baco enough to compare different rows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brisingr25 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yesterday Shambhala was broken some minutes when one train was stopped in the top of the lift hill with the riders... But in 2 or 3 minutes they enjoyed the drop. And yes, this offers the opportunity to make great pictures!

TDR62 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I was wondering if anybody could give me an answer to the following question. If I was to book a trip with a plan to stay in one of the PA Hotels but having not booked through PA or any of the traditional travel agents in the UK; would I still be eligible for free park entry? Has anybody done this before, how does it work? Do you get tickets/armband when you check-in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you stay in any of the PA Hotels u get access to the park for all your stay i'v always booked with PA to make it easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambhala Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The inside seats in the front two rows are much smoother than the outside sides at the back of the train. I will definetely remember that for next time - front end, inside seat. The annoying thing is, is that I had the choice between an inside seat or outside one. I chose outside, oh what a mistake that was. It was however at the back end of the train so I guess little could be done to make the ride any more enjoyable anyway! As for shambhala, I would love to be stuck at the top of the lift. Firstly it would give much more time to admire the view, and secondly there is always the possibility you will have to walk down the lift hill walkway which could be a very thrilling HIGHlight of the day!

nightforce Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hi! I have a question. How much is a picture of a ride or a movie ? Thank you in advance for your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbis Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 ^Sorry pal, i'm not quite sure i follow you here but i'm definitely sure that the Port Aventura thread is the wrong thread for this kind of question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightforce Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Why? It's is the general topic about Port Aventura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotcher Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'm pretty sure he means how much money is an on-ride photo/on-ride movie of Shambhala. Correct me if I'm wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambhala Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 it cost us 5 euros for a digital picture to go on a usb stick. I belive the DVD's with you being filmed on-ride are 13-14 euros. Well that's all I remember from Shambhala's photo shop anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 A video from the boat incident in Tutuki Splash that happened weeks ago. Really sad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiQwcRb56Gw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 That is terrible because someone could've been seriously hurt. The fact that you must balace yourself to get out the boat on those narrow ledges. Why wasn't an e-stop pressed and water drained like in raft rides. I gasped when I saw the boats collide and the guy almost got hit by the moving boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wegason Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 My gosh, PA is very fortunate that there weren't more serious injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The park is extremely lucky no one got injured/killed. What I don't get is why the rides computer let another boat leave the lift when the other hadn't cleared the run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Exactly... I have worked some of these water rides.. .and even I, wouldn't want to be out there standing on those ledges... The Reserviors can be pretty deep. Looks like they need to close the ride down and re-investigate.... possible move some proxies around so that a boat is not allowed to clear the lift until the run out is completely clear.

oriolat Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Today Shambhala has got the longest queue since opening day (and it's not a bank or national holiday). On top of this, PA are working on the lighting in the splash pond so it has been drained and, thus, there is no splash...

rubysparkles Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 How long was the wait today? I'm going during summer, so gearing up for some crazy wait times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenkra Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 How long was the wait today? I'm going during summer, so gearing up for some crazy wait times. The day of that photo the waiting time was 3 hours. However, I think in summer it will be a little less (maybe 2 hours?) 'cause these days a lot of schools have gone to the park.

matteocrepaldi Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 How insane is the line going to be next Saturday for the Noche Blanca (park open till 4 am)???! I think the Port Aventura Express Platinum will be MANDATORY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
