I can't imagine the all-around pain of having your first ever PortAventura experience, wandering over to Furious Baco, waiting 2 HOURS AND 50 MINUTES only to have a ride on an outer seat in the back row. I think I'd want to start legal proceedings to be honest 🤣
@@billybigballs196 Hi! You can still buy tickets on the gate though they can be up to £20 more expensive than booking in advance depending on how busy it is, hope this helps!
Thank you once again. It's such a shame about the poor operations. I would really like to see you interview the Director of PortAventura and hear how they plan to resolve these issues. When you interviewed Atlon Towers I got a lot of respect for their new leadership team and their openness to listen.
Awesome vlog from one of Europe's best theme parks! I have to say, 11:30 - that is just hilarious!! How that boat was allowed to run is beyond me... the genuine reaction of shock from both Shawn and Charlotte really made that scene so much funnier! 😂
Portaventura looks a great park and this is why I continue to watch this channel its so funny and informative but when serious issues arise you never sugar coat it which is very much appreciated keep up the awesome work looking forward to the next vlog as always
Can’t believe you had to pay €120 extra on top of your park entry ticket to be able to ride and have a better experience. I’ve travelled the world riding coasters over the last 40 years, in 136 different countries and counting ( Yes, I am that old, 52 now 😂) and I will never go to Port Aventura again. Been there once and only managed to get on 5 rides, so it worked out approx €10 a ride 😮. Glad you had a good time in the end but €110 per person including park entry is so expensive
You know a ride is intense/forceful when the seat comes off. And out of all the rides it could happen on, I would have never have guessed a flume ride. Also, if I do go to this park at some point in the future, I will get the express passes because I don’t want to end up waiting for possibly 3 hours. I’m very sorry about the operations that you guys have seen. Hopefully they sort it out in the future.
I just absolutely love your videos! This honesty and finally seeing someone speaking up about not just bad but probably by far the worst operations I've ever seen in a Themepark just feels so calming. I think this really kills the experience
I remember visiting this place as a kid and the main memories were queueing constantly! Can see that nothing has changed which is a shame as I was blown away by the efficiency at Europa Park recently. Portaventura has so much potential, sort it out!
Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from a second day at PortAventura World in Spain! In this vlog, we show what the experience at the park is like with express passes, along with sharing on ride povs from many more fantastic rides. This includes Furius Baco, Shambhala, Dragon Khan, and all 4 of the awesome water rides on offer at PortAventura World. We also share highlights from the FiestAventura night-time spectacular and much more! keep the good videos coming on the channel. both of you. 😀😎👍👍
Love your videos! We're just back from a fantastic week staying in one of the resort hotels, which meant we could spend the day chilling by the pool/beach/bar(!) and then head into the park after dark. The place closes at 10.30pm, so with MUCH shorter queues, we could get in a good 3-4 rides every night. I agree with you that the park looks absolutely beautiful at night and the views of Salou from Shammy B and Dragon Khan... chef's kiss!
I'm so glad I can just nip in and out all week when I go rather than having 1 or 2 full days to cram everything in....really hope park management watch & listen to your wrap-up.
Could you imagine how many tourists are under these ridiculous circumstances restrictions having to pay €5 just to have a front row experience this should be included in the entry prices, I wonder what’s the cost difference for the other months of the year, I’m so sorry Shawn and Charlotte you both being caught in the profit trap being under false potencies Thank you both so much for for sharing your thoughts 💭 expressing your concerns I definitely 👍 💯 percent agree with you hope you both managed to have a good time and gained your moneys worth from this experience aww bless you both I’m totally glad appreciative grateful for your vlogs helping us out more now especially with the excessive increase cost of living extravagant prices cheers 🥂 I hope the park has watched your vlog on this particular park hopefully they will address these problems concerns issues very soon great vlog both of you
Ive always called templo del fuego the Spanish version of poseidon's fury that use to be at islands of adventure with it being a very similar attraction
I wonder how many people you all have inspired to say "Helix, Helix, Helix ahhhhhh" in the world? I say it all the time now! Thanks for this terrific series of videos.
Excellent video guys. There is a reason I’ve watched one of your PortAventura today is because I may probably be planning to go to this part of Spain for a holiday and to go to PortAventura itself. I really can’t wait to go on rides the likes of Shambhala, Dragon Khan, Stamplda and the water rides 😊
Beautiful two day vlog from Port Adventurer in Spain. It must have been stinking hot out there with this current heatwave affecting parts of Europe. Just a shame it’s not here in the UK. Shambhala and Dragon Khan just two amazing coasters plus numerous smaller family rides. The water rides must have been particularly welcome to ride in the heat. Shame about the poor operations. Awesome firework display at the end.
Can’t wait to watch this! Very disappointing that you had to get Express but is what it is. Hope you enjoyed but PortAventura need to step up there ops. Hope you enjoyed. Something that’s really cool is that we stayed in the same hotel last time we went to PortAventura. It’s a good hotel. Hope you liked your stay there! Can’t wait for the rest of these summer trip videos!
Went Port Aventura in April and the main problems were queue jumping (almost every single queue multiple people pushing past to meet friends further up the line) and bad operations. Went 2 days and just like you guys needed to buy express the second day just to get everything done 😢. Aside from that though the parks beautiful x
Universal has already signed for Portaventura in January and they’ll make an official announcement in December. Can’t wait to see how the park will develop with Universal management, hopefully operations will get better
Minion blast just soft opened. It looks pretty good. You can film the entire queue just not the ride itself. It looks really good inside hard to believe the shrek show was in there just months ago. They also switched out the donkey meet and greet for other stuff like Sing and the minions. The characters go through a door coming out to music and back in. It’s a bit simpler that way. Donkey was a remote puppet that had a voice box and some movement via servos. The operator would speak into a control system and out would come donkey’s voice. It’s same idea with the spitting fountain as they simply talk into a control system and push a button for water to fire.
Been to PortAventura many times and have never used an express pass, but 5 minutes for Furius Baco instead of two and a half hours is mad. Worth the price! It's a shame that it's run so poorly though. This park is so dear to me (grew up around there) and love Shawn's and Charlotte's excitement for it, but operations are indeed poor. Still appreciate these vlogs and the good bits a lot though. Can't wait to go back.
Never been to PortAventura. Always fancied going. As a teacher, I can only visit these places during peak times like the summer holidays. If the operations are just bad and pretty much require you to buy an express pass, then I simply just won’t ever visit the place and will go somewhere else for my next holiday
That really dose brake my heart hearing about the poor operations. I also have been to that park as a kid and it was my first park adored it’s such a shame to hear. I’m really hoping they get bought out or can sort the operations out.
I did colossus years ago, was very rough back then!! Went to terra mitica couple years ago and not much was open. Looks like they have opened a lot more. Great park tho
Hey I hope you and Charlotte are well I love watching your all of your vlogs they are so much fun it’s a shame that the operations weren’t up to there full standard I hope when you come back things will be better for you take care with love to both of you
I think I was lucky, because I went there for the first time in August and the queues weren’t as bad. Some of them were huge and it was taking a long time to dispatch the cars, but I kept checking the app to see the waiting times and it was worth it! Furious Baco had a 3h wait all day and then all of a sudden it was 50min. I ran there and only had to wait 10min in the end! 😂 And I was also lucky because my first ever ride at Shambhala was in a first row seat (I was at the single rider lane)! *sorry my english is quite bad
Just had my first ever trip to PA. Unfortunately couldn’t get on Shambhala, possibly my #1 bucket list coaster, because the restraints wouldn’t fit over my thick thighs. Also picked up some bruised ribs on the red side of Stampida! However, I have a new #1 in Red Force. Never felt anything like it. Also loved Baco, Dragon Khan and Uncharted.
Why can't we have Wizarding World here in UK! I love Warner bros studio tour but for people that can't get to the USA it frustrates me it's possibly going abroad again!!!😤 Have a good rest of the trip guys x❤
thx for an awesome Vlog shawn & Charlotte, & thanks for the Awesome Front Row Views lol.... sry i know its a damn shame got to turn to buy Fast Track on any level, lets hope that Universal do buy the Park bk & get all the operations back how they should be run like they use to run many years ago & bring the park bk to one the best in the WORLD Experiences 🤩
Have amazing memories from here last year. Me and my sister saw a meme about covid and it turned out to be the exorcist woman from the park so we booked the trip just to see her. Best day of my life seeing her in the parade on Halloween, cried my eyes out 😂 Going back in December for Christmas parade
Hi! Going this August with my family for the first time. We’re staying at Hotel Portaventura! I’m hoping the operations will have improved by then because express passes is out of the budget for us. 🙏🏼
Feel the same way about the operations. I did this park many times over a lot of years and the operations are getting worse each year! Poor costumers… if you are a local you’re in luck, otherwise as a tourist.. 😫
Rewatching for the ? Time...while waiting for the announcement of whatever huge trip is planned for January. Maybe even some wedding info! For now I will make due with water ride content!
Hi, we went there in Aug and let me tell you operations in the main park were a mess still. We arrived around noon in the main park (15min walk from our hotel Salou Princess). The waiting time for Furious Baco was more than 2h... We walked straight to Shambala, it got advertised as 60min. We waited for 20 min and only moved a few meters in the queue!!! So I was forced to buy the fastpass for me and my son... I paid 108€ extra for 2 passes, to go on the 10 main attractions once (no front row)... So then we were able to enjoy our day but the fastpass has really become a business... The last ride we did was Baco, it was fastpass but unfortunately it seems everyone with fastpass had the same idea... We had to wait 45min in fastpass queue to go on it... This coaster was a big disappointment for us. Not worth it at all, yes you get a launch and 1 roll but that's it... the ride takes like 20 sec.
@@ThemeParkWorldwide No need to be sorry, it's not your fulat lol. I see 2 reasons for the poor operations and stupid long wiating times: 1) Cost savings on ride staff... it means not enough people to load and unload and dispatch the trains on the biggest coasters, 2) The express pass sytem, which forces people to buy them, and many people do, and this means the regular queue is even more delayed because they will always let the express pass queue board rides first (at least when we were there)
Great honest vlog. We’ve gone for a week for the past 3 trips and stayed in the hotel, so paid for express for the whole week because my husband is terrible at waiting. Shame about the boat ride in the china area, that used to be so good. I love tomahawk. Shame stampeda isn’t as smooth. I went on Grand National a couple of weeks ago though and it was so shakey I thought body parts might fall off. The water by Shambhala is looking murky. That shop by Angkor is great it’s the only theme park shop I’ve ever bought anything in (an elephant ornament). The shows are amazing but the hotel entertainment is rubbish. They do a dine around option where if you go half or full board you can dine in the park which is great. We’ve eaten in all the restaurants and like the Mexican one best. Does the bang bang show still happen in far west?
I feel exactly the same about PA ops so frustrating. We went out in April thinking it would be quiet. 3hr 30 for shambala I wish I could upload the photo I took of the queue board. Express queue for shambala was down to the water splash and took 45 mins when we caved in and bought it 😢
Great vlogs from PA. I love the park however I do agree operations are some of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Furthermore, the amount of queue/line jumping I’ve personally witnessed is shocking. Stampida is brutally rough however it is nonetheless very popular …. The queues attest to this. Furious Baco…. inside seats, lean forward and you may have a bearable ride lol. As prior noted, I love the park….. night time rides on Shambala are breathtaking, the theming and weather makes it a memorable experience. But and it’s a considerably large but…. The park could be so much better. Controversial comment perhaps as I’ve not experienced Uncharted. PA may have been wiser to delay Uncharted for a year or so and re-direct funds to Stampida and Furious Baco (new trains for both and a full re-track for the woodie). I’m contemplating returning next year however I do have more than a few doubts as to whether I should re-direct my budget 🤔. Keep up the great work S and C 🎢👍
Fantastic vlog :) Very honest and informative. Thank you for sharing! I'm visiting PortAventura for the first time this Summer and can't wait. Hoping to spend 2 days at PortAventura and 1 day at Caribe. What do you advise in terms of tickets? I'm on a bit of a budget so looking for the cheapest option :)
Thanks for watching! Check out our day one vlog from PortAventura here ➡️ th-cam.com/video/qkSzq7tS4_w/w-d-xo.html
Hiiiiiiii
Im going on April 24th (Wednesday) 2024 will it be busy or pretty quiet as I dont wanna buy an express pass when the queues are short, cheers :)

…..NEVER go in late June, July, August. 🤷🏼♂️
OMFG THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME HAHAHA. Still love the ride though!
Can you imagine 😂
@@ThemeParkWorldwidehi Sean, just wondering is it still possible to buy Blackpool pleasure beach tickets on the gate? Or is it online only?
@@billybigballs196 Hi! You can still buy tickets on the gate though they can be up to £20 more expensive than booking in advance depending on how busy it is, hope this helps!

Thank you!
Sort out the operations, express and queue jumping and it really is the perfect theme park.
Looks like a great park!! Thanks for the info!
Another great vlog thankyou . Your a great fun loving couple.
Best moment as Log Flume seat broke 😂😂 Maybe it wanted to be new maurer shone coaster seat with tilt feature
Portaventura looks like so much fun, I’m hoping on going there eventually. Hope you had fun!
go there if you can, i did on thursday and it was so good
I loved how the actor of Templo Del Fuego stood outside with burned clothes, such a great part of the storytelling 😄 (When I was there)
That’s awesome. It’s a fantastic show!
i’ve loved all the portAventure vlogs this trip i cannot wait for more even the cruise cannot wait you two are the best!!
Thank you. We can’t wait for our big Florida trip!
That view of Shambhala and Dragon Khan on the hill at China’s entrance must be one of the best at any theme park in the world
It’s absolutely beautiful
For any B&M that focuses on airtime, i prefer the back rows, as i like getting pulled down the drops. Great Vlog
Thank you! The airtime on Shambhala is great!
Ive always called templo del fuego the Spanish version of poseidon's fury that use to be at islands of adventure with it being a very similar attraction
It’s brilliant!
Express seems like a no brainer, 5 mins que vs 2 hrs and 30 mins so worth

It’ll be interesting to see what happens!
Feeling extremely lucky for getting a front seat ride on Shambhala.
Great park and the ending fireworks topped it off
Wow, that show at the end is ridiculous. So good! Thanks for that!
The show is awesome!
Love how they had the dialogue translation on the board under Grover 52:41
It’s a nice little touch!
Looks like your 2nd day was a lot better. The El Diablo coaster looks good. xx
…..It was a lot better, because they spent A LOT on express pass!!
It was much better with express passes!
Love how the trains seem to disappear but then reappear 16:22
Minion blast just soft opened. It looks pretty good. You can film the entire queue just not the ride itself. It looks really good inside hard to believe the shrek show was in there just months ago. They also switched out the donkey meet and greet for other stuff like Sing and the minions. The characters go through a door coming out to music and back in. It’s a bit simpler that way. Donkey was a remote puppet that had a voice box and some movement via servos. The operator would speak into a control system and out would come donkey’s voice. It’s same idea with the spitting fountain as they simply talk into a control system and push a button for water to fire.
Looking forward to riding it!

Wow Dragon Khan looks really faded..... they could do with giving that a touch of fresh paint!
It really needs it!
Del fuego show reminds me of Backdraft at Universal in the 1990s... that was an ace experience
It’s such a great show!
Never been to PortAventura. Always fancied going. As a teacher, I can only visit these places during peak times like the summer holidays. If the operations are just bad and pretty much require you to buy an express pass, then I simply just won’t ever visit the place and will go somewhere else for my next holiday
Go somewhere with good operations like Europa-Park, solves most of the issues!

Just had my first ever trip to PA. Unfortunately couldn’t get on Shambhala, possibly my #1 bucket list coaster, because the restraints wouldn’t fit over my thick thighs. Also picked up some bruised ribs on the red side of Stampida!
However, I have a new #1 in Red Force. Never felt anything like it. Also loved Baco, Dragon Khan and Uncharted.
Sorry to hear that!
Great vlog LONG LIVE TPW!
Thanks!
12:25 leave the poor girl alone shes trying to cool down 🤣
Why can't we have Wizarding World here in UK! I love Warner bros studio tour but for people that can't get to the USA it frustrates me it's possibly going abroad again!!!😤 Have a good rest of the trip guys x❤

I'll never have the money to do a worldwide coaster trip but it's nice to see it from someone else's eyes though.
Thank you for joining us through our vlogs!
My absolute fave theme park but July and august are Spanish holidays and yep, we bought fast pass.
When I went on the spinning one wich lifts up the classic I got In the train and was waiting 25 mins for it to start
thx for an awesome Vlog shawn & Charlotte, & thanks for the Awesome Front Row Views lol.... sry i know its a damn shame got to turn to buy Fast Track on any level, lets hope that Universal do buy the Park bk & get all the operations back how they should be run like they use to run many years ago & bring the park bk to one the best in the WORLD Experiences 🤩
Thank you!
In my home park(parque Warner Madrid) buy for see Aquaman show in the night,the cocktail in zona vip.100% recomended.Enjoy the travel.
Have amazing memories from here last year. Me and my sister saw a meme about covid and it turned out to be the exorcist woman from the park so we booked the trip just to see her. Best day of my life seeing her in the parade on Halloween, cried my eyes out 😂
Going back in December for Christmas parade
Halloween is awesome at PortAventura!
Choo Choo 46:45

I went on Grand National a couple of weeks ago though and it was so shakey I thought body parts might fall off. The water by Shambhala is looking murky. That shop by Angkor is great it’s the only theme park shop I’ve ever bought anything in (an elephant ornament). The shows are amazing but the hotel entertainment is rubbish. They do a dine around option where if you go half or full board you can dine in the park which is great. We’ve eaten in all the restaurants and like the Mexican one best. Does the bang bang show still happen in far west?
Thanks for sharing! Bang Bang West is still on!
Furious baco
I’m getting the feeling that going in April might be a good decision
Loving the overseas vlogs, but back home Megafobia at Oakwood Theme Park has been refurbished ;-)
Thank you! We’ll definitely be checking it out this summer!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Good to hear. 🙂
I feel exactly the same about PA ops so frustrating. We went out in April thinking it would be quiet. 3hr 30 for shambala I wish I could upload the photo I took of the queue board. Express queue for shambala was down to the water splash and took 45 mins when we caved in and bought it 😢
They really need to get operations sorted out and limit express!
I know it’s luck of the draw but on my last visit to port Aventura I got both front row on Shamballa and dragon khan without express
That’s great, it’s quite rare on Shambhala!
Great vlogs from PA. I love the park however I do agree operations are some of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Furthermore, the amount of queue/line jumping I’ve personally witnessed is shocking. Stampida is brutally rough however it is nonetheless very popular …. The queues attest to this. Furious Baco…. inside seats, lean forward and you may have a bearable ride lol.
As prior noted, I love the park….. night time rides on Shambala are breathtaking, the theming and weather makes it a memorable experience. But and it’s a considerably large but…. The park could be so much better. Controversial comment perhaps as I’ve not experienced Uncharted. PA may have been wiser to delay Uncharted for a year or so and re-direct funds to Stampida and Furious Baco (new trains for both and a full re-track for the woodie).
I’m contemplating returning next year however I do have more than a few doubts as to whether I should re-direct my budget 🤔.
Keep up the great work S and C 🎢👍
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Fantastic vlog :) Very honest and informative. Thank you for sharing! I'm visiting PortAventura for the first time this Summer and can't wait. Hoping to spend 2 days at PortAventura and 1 day at Caribe. What do you advise in terms of tickets? I'm on a bit of a budget so looking for the cheapest option :)
Thank you! The park sell a multi day ticket which works out good!
