I love that place! I first went there in 1995, not too long after it had first opened. It has certainly come on leaps and bounds since then. Great video as always!
We are buzzing for this. We always bang on about how beautiful and well themed PA is. And your B-roll just take it to the next level. Glad to see Joe’s glasses string stood the test of Stampida. We are gutted there no parades and we really miss the saloon show. 🖤
I loved this vlog! Very good video, congratulations! You have to go to Parque Warner in Madrid, along with PortAventura World, they are one of the best theme parks in Spain! And it has spectacular rides and roller coasters. You have to go, plus Parque Warner will have an amazing new roller coaster next year in 2023!
Glasses straps have been an absolute godsend for me the last few years. Loved Portaventura when I visited in 2017, really want them to add another big ride before I go back though.
I miss this place so much, went in 2017 when Ferrari Land opened, really must get back their soon, watching your vlog just makes me want to go back, however Engerylandia & Phantasialand are on my to do list before revisiting here :D
Ah I loved my visit to PA, the areas are beautiful but I just wish they'd sort their operations out, it really taints the day I think! Loving your return to vlogging guys, have missed you! Can't wait to see the rest! :)
Hey Terri, thanks for watching! I'm not sure how much you get off because it's always closed when we visit (Halloween season). Hope you enjoy your upcoming trip to this beautiful park!
Theres no denying it's a great park but it has some fundamental problems. Firstly I read something like 40% of visitors are from outside Spain yet other than the restaurant menus everything is in Spanish and very few of the staff speak a different language. A few signs in English, German etc. And teaching some of the ride operators etc a few basic phrases would help with this. Secondly the operations are shocking. Too many rides have long queues due them not getting the trains etc out quicker. Again down to poor staff training. Third they sell far too many express tickets. These should be limited as in most other parks but here they sell as many as they can meaning at times it's pointless buying them. And finally the security is virtually non-existent and the amount of queue jumping in particular that goes on is shocking. I saw a gang of about 30 Spanish kids near enough flash mob Dragon Kahn literally knocking other visitors out of the way to get on ride first climbing over barriers etc. And that was just one incident. Then theres the ,what we called, Amigo act when 2 or 3 of them turn up and point to somebody in the queue who they claim is their friend and they ask to get past so they can ride with that person. Then more turn up and do the same thing and in the end a horde of them have got past you unless you say no to them and if you do that you are subject to a torrent of abuse. And it's only the Spanish teenagers do this sort of thing. It's as if they have a "its our country we should go first. You can all wait" type of attitude. They just dont care and they know nothing is going to happen to them. We approached a teacher who was with a gang of queue jumpers at the Mine Train and he said he couldn't stop them and if we didnt like it we should have stayed in England. Ok I'm talking about 10 years ago here but I know people who have been in the last 3 months and they have said it still goes on. It wouldnt happen in UK parks to that extent but it seems the norm at Portaventura and has been since I first went there 18 years ago.
Thanks for watching!
What is your favourite or most anticipated ride at PortAventura?
I'm a woose lol so I'm for tea cups 🤣🤣🤣🤣 rest of family furious baco is 1st stop.

To anyone that has been, were there any restrictions on going on rides in a walking boot?
