i only just realised that i have been watching this channel non stop since its creation, i remember as a young boy watching that winter disneyland vlog and being inspired into becoming an enthusiast myself and that has only become stronger. so i wanna say thank you so much shaun and charlotte you guys mean the world to me, you built my childhood and for that you will always hold a sepcial spot in my heart. love you guys
Wow that first loop of Dragon Khan even looked intense on screen! Love that roar of the track too, reminds me of my all time favourite Universal Hulk and Old Nemesis. Must be something about the roar! 💙 Absolutely loved seeing this park and even better that you could take us on with you. Thank you, great video 😊
Looks like operations have greatly improved; it really let such a lovely park down over the last few years. That Uncharted malarkey was a bit OTT -looking forward to seeing that too it was under construction the last time we went. Making me pine for Salou now!
That uncharted situation was unacceptable. But I am glad to hear operations have improved. Maybe late in the year I will have a chance to make it there.
Brilliant video as always. Your reaction to Furious Paco was awesome, the comments 'I need a new spine' and ' it rides like a supermarket trolley' were absolutely brilliant and so funny 😂. If Shawn thinks it's rough it must be brutal😂. Thanks again for such great content! Informative, high quality and very enjoyable❤
It's not ruff Ive been riding it for 4 days with my back broken in two different places from Hyperion in energylandia outside seat and not a single rider here hurt me other than the mine train
hi guys, great to see you in this park, Dragon Khan was my first ever coaster with looping, glad to see she still in operation. Wish you all the best. Have fun in Salou!
Awesome to bump into you guys at EMA and then at Stampeda! We waited 45 mins in the single rider queue for Uncharted, very lack luster internals still...just screens and pitch darkness. Even during a quiet day we needed to get the express pass to make sure we could fit everything in before our flight home.
I also had the door slammed in my face at uncharted! I was livid 😅 a park guest even shouted at me too, the staff were pretty rude about it. Hope they change that 😂
Goodness, I'm so happy you guys had a better time. The heat was just next level last time. This visit you could actually just enjoy and chill through the experience. Also I'll have to add on... Charlotte is just on point with the experience and confidence to really bring that extra something to the vids. Perhaps with the eclipse next year, I'll give it a try
I was there this year, around the same time too, i guess, since there were easter decorations. Had a blast but missed out on condor(never been on it) and dragon khan bc last time it scrambled me badly.
It’s such a wonderful park-my favourite. It really is a shame about the operations. We had something similar, got in the queue for templo del fuego ten minutes before it closed, and we all of a sudden we were told it had shut. Went to leave the queue, and they had all ready shut the queue with us in it! Were there for a bit before we ended up having to climb the gate.
Great vid! I visited the park in 2007 when it was owned by Universal. The only supermarket trolly ride experience ive had to this day has to be the old "Wild mouse" at Blackpool 😂
I had such a big smile watching your POV of shambhala going up the lift, remembering my own experience of riding it 4 times in a day when I went at the start of April and s***ting myself everytime as we got to that drop 😆
Hey I’m pretty sure this was an incredible vlog jam packed of amazing footage experiences, Shawn I’m not going to be watching your Port Advetura vlogs right now as I don’t want to jinx any of my family’s wishes as we’re thinking about planning our family vacation going to Mainland Spain to here Port Adventura Salou or the animal holiday park down the road in Benidorm for maybe later this year as we totally have our hearts set to go to these amazing 🤩 incredible holiday destinations we’re really hoping we can go to either one of these as they match our criteria, Shawn and Charlotte Thank you ever so much for sharing, once we know what’s happening then I’ll definately be watching these one way or another after our decision please have your fingers crossed for us we’ve literally saved up loads in order to go here thank you 🙏
I will be there again in about 4 weeks. But before that some days in Madrid with Parque d'attractiones de Madrid and some days i Bafcelona before reaching Salou again. But unfortunately Hotel Golden Port Salou was fullbooked early, Hotel Eurosalou instead. Madrid flrst time but Barcelona and Salou will be nostalgic. The Chinese noodles are about to be tested. The Western Steak House maybe also unless the queues are too long.
Love you guys and glad the operations have improved as the park is beautiful with some amazing coasters. Shame about uncharted. Have you seen that construction on Alton Towers flat ride has just begun
My partner and I were there in September and the queue for the first ride when you walked into the park was over 2 hours.....every other ride was at least one hour waiting time....think you guys got very lucky..we loved the park but the waiting times were just crazy...the wee train one you were on we had to wait and hour and a half to go on. Don't know if we just happen to hit a crazy busy time but like you guys we didn't get on every ride in park with less than an hour wait. Would love to go back as the q's for the big coasters were over 2 and a half hours so we didn't even get on/
Mrs is Spanish and that really helps getting around the local attitude to queuing we've found, they don't jump the line quite so much if it is a vociferous native speaker that they're trying to get round
A new Operations Manager ? Wow. Was awful before - especially having the priority queue. Still loving the Khan ! That roar ! We need a Khan here in the UK !
I enjoyed uncharted. Yes the theming could use some work. But as a dark coaster I think it’s great. The ride system is strong, the layout is good, some decent surprises. I think it really fills a gap in the lineup. This park could easily be the best in Europe. All it is missing is an RMC and an intamin multi launch like pantheon or tutatis and it would easily be the best on the continent!
You should it's brilliant I got a great package hol from tui last Yr 15mins walk from the park my hotel was and half board food was great big choice very nice hotel with 3day free park access
Nice to see you back in Spain again! There is another theme park/waterpark in Seville called Isla Magica, closest to home for me. Are you ever going to visit that one?
Hi Shawn and Charlotte great to see you back here . Shamballa looks a great coaster. Which do you prefer shammy B or Mako in Seaworld ? . Great vlog thanks for sharing with us love to you both as always Tracey 💕💕💕Xxxxx
Does seem like a long way to go for one standout rollercoaster - I think Port Aventura enjoy a captive market from its location and doesn’t seem to try very hard; there’s plenty of parks in Europe that seem to offer a better ride selection and customer service. Great vlog as always about a park that doesn’t seem to live up to its potential 😕
I can’t wait to visit in August! It is our Summer holiday. Do you when the train was changed in 2007 on Stampeda? I first rode it in June 2007 so I don’t know if I have ever been on the original trains 🤔. Love the facts you tell us about the rides though. I’ve learned so much about rides from your vlogs.
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Thanks for getting back so quickly we heard that the Templo Del fuego was closed during April was this false information. Thanks again for your time 😊
Looks like you had a great time! My mum and sister are going to Salou in few weeks, neither of them ride coasters though and I am really tempted to hide in their luggage so I can get on Shammy'B 🤣
Can anybody who has been here remember a ride i think in the far west section, that was a single file rollercoaster? Not a big one, think it was a wooden one. Been giing mad as i cant find anything about it but it was definitely here!!
Shambhala stands out as the highlight of the park for me. However, I find that the comfort level on rides such as Stampeda, Dragon Khan, and Furious Baco could be improved. Additionally, it seems that the Hurrican Condor is often not operational, which can be a bit disappointing for visitors looking forward to that experience
I was absolutely gutted last year when I went to portaventura that I didn't get on shambala. Unfortunately I've put quite a bit of weight on due to health issues over the past couple of years, even though the test seat was green I was still told I was too big for the restraints. The gap couldn't have been more than a centimeter but I was still told no. This is why I prefer the intamin hyper style restraints they're much better for us bigger guys an much comfier than the b&m clam shells.
My Dad was knocked out by that Woody Woodpecker by the entrance. He'd gone back to get something and whilst looking down at his phone to contact us he walked straight into Woody's hand and was knocked out cold 😂
I love portaventura, been 2022 and 2023. wana go again this year. but yes for sure, new trains on stampida and a retrack with some b and m trains on baco is needed. I dont trust intermins wing trains XD
Thank you for watching! Check out our day two vlog from PortAventura here ➡️ ruclips.net/video/dwGFoAN2w6w/видео.htmlsi=fiH5VQJm3NELMvbZ
I love how mad Shawn is at the hotdog price at Alton Towers, sometimes we have to take a stand 😂
lol
LOL Moment
I might start measuring my mortgage payments in Alton Towers hot dogs
Crazy prices!
there are moments in life you have to pick a hill to die on 🤣🤣
If shawn says its rough that means it is super rough. Rides like a shopping trolley was hilarious
It really is 😂
I used to love rides in a shopping trolley lol
i only just realised that i have been watching this channel non stop since its creation, i remember as a young boy watching that winter disneyland vlog and being inspired into becoming an enthusiast myself and that has only become stronger. so i wanna say thank you so much shaun and charlotte you guys mean the world to me, you built my childhood and for that you will always hold a sepcial spot in my heart. love you guys
That’s amazing to hear, thank you so much!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide no thank you, really i mean it you are the best. i cant wait to see the channel just continue to grow.
Shambhala has one of the best hand/ head choppers after the first drop. I still duck every time & made me laugh to see people ducking in your pov.
It’s such a fantastic ride!
Wow that first loop of Dragon Khan even looked intense on screen! Love that roar of the track too, reminds me of my all time favourite Universal Hulk and Old Nemesis. Must be something about the roar! 💙 Absolutely loved seeing this park and even better that you could take us on with you. Thank you, great video 😊

It seems they are heading in the right direction!
So happy to see they're doing something to stop queue jumping. I hope they keep it up.
That uncharted situation was unacceptable. But I am glad to hear operations have improved. Maybe late in the year I will have a chance to make it there.
you’ve never got to ride it? The ride is good but the queue is way too long and atp it’s not worth it
@@sana.4.a nah, Portaventura would be a first time visit.
Hopefully you can visit soon!
@@ThemeParkWorldwidecan you meet me in the park today for a picture with you it's my last day here
Couldn’t stop laughing at you getting a door slammed shut in your faces 😂
That was shocking with uncharted at the end, did you manage to speak to any park management about it?
It was very disappointing. We couldn’t see any management around however will send off an email informing them!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide would be very interested to hear their reply, its not good enough for a park as big as PA is!
Brilliant video as always. Your reaction to Furious Paco was awesome, the comments 'I need a new spine' and ' it rides like a supermarket trolley' were absolutely brilliant and so funny 😂. If Shawn thinks it's rough it must be brutal😂.
Thanks again for such great content! Informative, high quality and very enjoyable❤
It’s a very rough coaster 😂 The launch is excellent though!
It's not ruff Ive been riding it for 4 days with my back broken in two different places from Hyperion in energylandia outside seat and not a single rider here hurt me other than the mine train
I live near Barcelona and PortAventura is my nearest park 1 hour drive
Tibidabo?
@@AndyLambTHFC id rather avoid tibidabo at all costs, trash park
hi guys, great to see you in this park, Dragon Khan was my first ever coaster with looping, glad to see she still in operation. Wish you all the best. Have fun in Salou!
Thank you, it’s a great ride!
Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from PortAventura World in Spain! keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte. 😀😎👍👍
Thank you!

It was great to see you!
I was so happy when I saw you made a 1 hour long video I am gonna watch the whole video looking forward to it hope you had fun😊
Enjoy!
Shammy B is the GOAT ride there, always a favourite!
I also had the door slammed in my face at uncharted! I was livid 😅 a park guest even shouted at me too, the staff were pretty rude about it. Hope they change that 😂
Sorry to hear that. Improvements definitely needed there!
Beautiful park, love the on ride povs, shocking got door slammed in face of ride
Shawn and Charlotte it’s so good to see the blue skies and POV’s … your camera work with commentary is gold !
Thank you!
Me and my husband are planning on going to all these places one day! Love watching you two!!!!! Xx
Goodness, I'm so happy you guys had a better time. The heat was just next level last time. This visit you could actually just enjoy and chill through the experience. Also I'll have to add on...

Saw you too there recording glad you had a great time😊
It was great!
Thanks for doing this blog, I’m going in a month so really helpful
I was there this year, around the same time too, i guess, since there were easter decorations. Had a blast but missed out on condor(never been on it) and dragon khan bc last time it scrambled me badly.
Looks like a blast! Have the best time Shawn & Charlotte! :D
Your ride on Stampida was hilarious 😅 we rode it one day doing 8 rides back to back, we had bruises all over our legs, but it was worth it! Great fun!
There's clearly wires on the juggling balls! Thanks for another ace video guys.
It’s such a wonderful park-my favourite. It really is a shame about the operations.

Loving your vlogs they are full of so many good tips. I also love Charlotte's new sunglasses.🙂
Thank you!
Those shows are playing music released this year! That’s incredible!
I will be there again in about 4 weeks. But before that some days in Madrid with Parque d'attractiones de Madrid and some days i Bafcelona before reaching Salou again. But unfortunately Hotel Golden Port Salou was fullbooked early, Hotel Eurosalou instead. Madrid flrst time but Barcelona and Salou will be nostalgic.
The Chinese noodles are about to be tested. The Western Steak House maybe also unless the queues are too long.

What an incredible vibe brilliant put together within these parks.

I remember riding dragon Khan back in 1997. When we first went to salou in 1994 it was being built
love the drum reference, would like another performance tbf 🤣
My daughters been to portaventura, her fave was shammy, but she loved all of them, great onride footage
Great ride!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide looks it haha
Ooo we share the same birthday 😁😜 looking forward to this vlog. This is a sick park, haven't been in a while though.
Thank you!
I love shambala it’s such a thrilling coasters with amazing airtime
Portaventura was the first park I ever went to on holiday and it just such a good park aswell Shambala is such a good ride and
El Diablo reminded me of the runaway mine train at American adventure. Thanks for sharing x
Shambala was simply amazing wow 😮
Happy birthday Shawn!
Mrs is Spanish and that really helps getting around the local attitude to queuing we've found, they don't jump the line quite so much if it is a vociferous native speaker that they're trying to get round
A new Operations Manager ? Wow. Was awful before - especially having the priority queue. Still loving the Khan ! That roar ! We need a Khan here in the UK !
Es Frederick Boulva. Viene de Disneyland París. Es el nuevo director de operaciones y de espectáculos.
I enjoyed uncharted. Yes the theming could use some work. But as a dark coaster I think it’s great. The ride system is strong, the layout is good, some decent surprises. I think it really fills a gap in the lineup.
This park could easily be the best in Europe. All it is missing is an RMC and an intamin multi launch like pantheon or tutatis and it would easily be the best on the continent!
It’s a great park with some fantastic rides. I just wish Uncharted had more theming and better audio to make it more immersive!
Last time I went to the shambala festive in the uk was 2012. Spooky lol. Good music festival on a August bank holiday.
Gonna be there next week and definitely got to watch that show it looks amazing!!!!
It’s a fantastic show!
Awesome Video Guys 😄😄
I really want to go to PortAventura World!
You should it's brilliant I got a great package hol from tui last Yr 15mins walk from the park my hotel was and half board food was great big choice very nice hotel with 3day free park access
The operations ruin it I'm here now
Dude same
Nice to see you back in Spain again! There is another theme park/waterpark in Seville called Isla Magica, closest to home for me. Are you ever going to visit that one?
I’d like to visit at some point!
Hi Shawn and Charlotte great to see you back here . Shamballa looks a great coaster. Which do you prefer shammy B or Mako in Seaworld ? . Great vlog thanks for sharing with us love to you both as always Tracey 💕💕💕Xxxxx
Shambhala!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide LOL 😂 I knew I'd spelt it wrong 💕 OK I've been on Mako last year. I'll have to try shammy B next. Xxx
I was going to go here last year but we changed holiday because ouf hotel was next to a construction site. The park looks incredible.
Really enjoyed the return of the POVs :D
Thank you! Plenty of POV’s coming up with our upcoming trips!
portaventura looks good!
So Far So Good with regards to operations 5:22

Have a good time! It was changed around that sort of time I believe!
10:43 infusion be like 😂😂 (good ride but it hurts ur head)
Haven’t been to Port Aventura in years. Certainly plan to return sometime, but the queues and operations definitely put me off.
Such a great park. Great location and unreal rides like shambala 🤩
We are going there in April 17th next year do you know if all the Attractions are open that time of year . Enjoyed watching the video 😊👍
Have fun. They are indeed!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Thanks for getting back so quickly we heard that the Templo Del fuego was closed during April was this false information. Thanks again for your time 😊
Looks like you had a great time!
My mum and sister are going to Salou in few weeks, neither of them ride coasters though and I am really tempted to hide in their luggage so I can get on Shammy'B 🤣
Tip: Furious baco is way less rough in the front row. Its not any more scarier then the back rows so don’t be afraid to try the front!
Amazing guys what a awesome park, kinda American theme park it reminds me of but you looked to have fun😁great vlog Shawn 👌
Thanks for watching!
Can anybody who has been here remember a ride i think in the far west section, that was a single file rollercoaster? Not a big one, think it was a wooden one. Been giing mad as i cant find anything about it but it was definitely here!!
Omg I can’t believe all these rides are still here, I haven’t been there since 2001 and back then universal studios owned the park
Thanks for watching!
this and europa park are defo on the bucket list for me, i remembeer last year when you were on the shambhala break run for like 20 mins lmao
I`d stick to Europa Park to be honest. It makes PA look second rate.
Shambhala stands out as the highlight of the park for me. However, I find that the comfort level on rides such as Stampeda, Dragon Khan, and Furious Baco could be improved. Additionally, it seems that the Hurrican Condor is often not operational, which can be a bit disappointing for visitors looking forward to that experience
Definitely
I was there this time last year, dragon khan is my fav. I wish I rode shambala but I didn’t
Great video like always!

Unfortunately I've put quite a bit of weight on due to health issues over the past couple of years, even though the test seat was green I was still told I was too big for the restraints.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you’ll be able to ride a lot some point!
This is my fav moment of the year :)
Thank you!
I can see Shawn reviewing hot dog and fries meal deals now after seeing the price hike at Alton Towers😂😂😂👍
😂
Looks such a great park. Hopefully the operations improved for you.
It was definitely better
On Stampida.... "we are winning". Shawn, there are no winners when it comes to that ride.
I'm actually quite sensitive when it comes to rough rides but I don't mind stampida! I actually quite enjoy it
Staying at hotel el paso in a few weeks times, the only thing I would say that their queues are long and they are slow getting you on the rides
This is the next park I want to attend next in the future great video guys
The light up balls in the show are on wires!! Think it’s more visible on video than in real life but I could definitely see them! 😂
Definitely on my bucket list to go here, only problem I've never been abroad in my whole 25 years of existing 😂
Nothing wrong with that. Plenty of time to explore the world. Should keep you motivated to work long term.
It’s a great park, hopefully you can visit soon!
I went to port 2 weeks ago and they were running 1 train on dragon khan and shambala, both had around 2 hour queues
Not good at all
Looks like a nice little weekend getaway.
It sure was!
A nice ride on stampida! 😁 Does that even exist 😁
Hey Shawn and Charlotte hopefully we will meet again in flamingo land one day ❤
Awesome video but some of those coasters look rough. 😁😁😁😁😁😁
My Dad was knocked out by that Woody Woodpecker by the entrance. He'd gone back to get something and whilst looking down at his phone to contact us he walked straight into Woody's hand and was knocked out cold 😂
Oh no! 😂
I love portaventura, been 2022 and 2023. wana go again this year. but yes for sure, new trains on stampida and a retrack with some b and m trains on baco is needed. I dont trust intermins wing trains XD
That would be great!
Great to see the operations have improved since you last visited I remember watching last time and going how is this allowed
I'm glad the menu is in Catalan and Spanish.
Wow those are ginormous eggs 0:57
Show in the saloon looked great loved they did greatest showman (to the otherside) followed by can can girls
Great show!
I love portadventura! cant wait for these vlogs and i love charlotte shirt
Thank you!
Brilliant park really enjoyed it last year had a 3days pass
1:00:44 'uncharted reborn' 😆🤣🤣
