I love your channel! Barely anyone else vlogs theme parks in detail and it's getting me so excited for my holiday to Salou! Thank you for all your work.
Your channel is probably the only channel on youtube where I watch the entire video or vlog from start to end. It's 100% amazing entertainment. I've been a coasterfan since childhood and I have always loved playing games like rct and there's just something about rollercoasters that I can't explain but I love them so much. I love that you have found friends to travel the world and experience parks with. I would love to do the same but I never talk with my friends about parks and coasters because i don't think they will care. I hope I'll find people to go to parks with just like you someday! Keep up the GREAT work! Cheers from Sweden!
Thank you very much for the kind comment! I'm actually travelling across Sweden on a train whilst replying to this comment. I'm making m way from Gothenburg to Stockholm and I hope you check out the videos when they go online!
Ofc I will! I actually live in Stockholm! Glad to hear you are visiting Kolmården again! I think that's my favorite vlog so far after Six Flags Magic Mountain!
Just got back from Salou and we did our first Euro Theme Park because of your vlog. From Red Force, where I had to check my face was still attached to my head to Shambhala. Words can not do that coaster justice. Beats anything we have in the UK hands down. I can see why you named it Furious backache. The outer seats shook me to my bones. Thankyou
Thanks for the video...i've been here 4 times throughout my childhood and watching this has brought back a lot of memories, it's probably my favorite place in the world, simply for the atmosphere
id love to visit this park, i know youve mentioned budget flying and such but i cant even affrod to travel to alton towers (i dont drive) i really want to ride shambala! one day.
We could do with some ride like this in our parks back in the UK especially shambhala and Dragon khan those coasters look out of this world thank you Shaun for uploading this video. I hope your mate finds some new shorts lol 😎😎😎😎
Found this channel yesterday when longing for Liseberg and am now going through all the European park vloggs to find good places to go. This one if def high on the list since I'm going to Spain in a couple of weeks!
Awesome as anything. The vlog, the sun and the park is so amazing. Never been to the park but been passed it few times on the coach and the lil train thing that goes to the entrance. Alex getting wet lol. Shambhala is just one amazing coaster and great POV to. Amazing how many people wave to your camera.
Love when you do a blog on this park, have really fond memories of this place, I really need to get out their this year at some point. Just got i from my nightshift and sleep ain't happening now for another hour and 30 mins.. Cheers Shaun! Great work as always!
This is making me so excited for my first ever visit to this park. Might have to save up some money for a fast track though as I am going in the six weeks holiday....
Eleven years ago? That's not bad, I just figured out the last time I visited Port Aventura was either thirty one or thirty three years ago! Looking forward to going next year but I'm deeply saddened the ghost train is gone now. That was my favourite.
So happy you went back to this amazing park 👌🏼 it’s such a good park with so many good thrill rides 😊 when I went there which was 4 weeks ago I went on furious backo, which I was absolutely gob smacked about. Also the theming is so so good and fits with the quiet area and peaceful area of this part of Spain. When are you next going to Drayton Manor cause I would love to meet you and take some photos 😀👌👌
I have been waiting for this vlog, portadventura is my favourite park and ferarri world is lit too. The parades are the best and the fireworks are almost but not s good as disny. Stampeda is still my fave tho because it's still classic and not oo much and has the right amount of thrill to enjoy it too! However everything else is also amazing :)) enjoy yourself!
Hi guys! Great review. I've been to PortAventura twice as a little kid over 15 years ago and now we head to Salou for our wedding trip with my (soon to be) wife. I was wondering, if you could give me an advice about when to visit the park in order to avoid the biggest queues. We will be there from 1st of September until the 15th of September. The park itself is ending its "main" season on 10th so the opening hours are shorter, but that could lead to less people visiting it (also, by the end of the season, more people would probably go, since they'd want to enjoy more time there). I would like to know your opinion as I seek for us to make the experience as good as I can :-)
So I've listened to your advice and we were there last Fri and Sat and we had a blast. I've even done Shambala at 11 p.m. at night and the view was gorgeous! The queues on Friday were great as not many people were there and most of the waiting times were under or slightly above 30 minutes. On Sat the highest I saw was 110 minutes on Furius Baco, but still great adventure as even my wife went to Dragon Khan :-)
Acualy, the real story for Furius Baco is that it’s an old catalan house with a vineyard (wich is pretty common in old catalan houses) and the son of the owner (the professor) likes to make expreiments and tries to launch the wine from one place to another and need people do as a counterweigh (that’s why it’s a wing rider). But his pet, (the monkey) who likes to destroy all of his experiments, pulls the wrong wrope and launches you at 135km/h (fun fact: Now, the ride doesn’t launch at full speed because it was genereting too much stress on the wheels) That’s why they are so many test mannequies in the queue line. Want you to go to PortAventura on the christmas event!!! Regards from PortAventura!!!
I went on Halloween and went on the Rec and horror in texas. I also went on Shambala and i was really scared but i loved it. Baco was very good aswell.
Portaventura really is a such a nice park, just feel like it's now lacking a little in terms of rides. If we exclude red force as it's sort of separate, Shambhala is really the only coaster there that is of a really high standard. Furious Baco and Dragon Khan are so rough now that they're pretty hard to enjoy, and whilst Stampida is good fun it really does feel dated now. Would love them to get RMC to do a revamp of Stampida, would transform the park.
I went to port aventura in the summer of 2017 and i was quite diasapointed. We ended up queing two hours for most rides as they were putting through 2 fastrack full trains to one non-fastrack.
I was there again last month but I stay at the portaventura park hotels so the park is free to me ♥️♥️ I miss it so much already I was there for 2 weeks ☀️
Hey shawn another great vlog loving them recently keep it up, Question for you just wondering its on my mind but when you go to these parks how do you keep your wallet,keys,phone etc safe and not loose them ? Random one i know just wanted tips off you because ive lost keys before at blackpool pleasure beach so is it best to have zip up pockets to keep them secured? Be handy to know for next time i go to a theme park ? Thanks shawn in advanced keep up the great vlogs
Good to see some nice changes at the park, although there are still things that needed sorted. Last time I visited the food, operations and customer service had room for improvement.
I know how Alex feels. It hurts to get turned down for a ride. I have been fighting with my weight for years. Just over seven weeks and having a complete bypass. A couple of months rest then hopefully I will get back on the big rides again. I really like the vlogs when Alex is with you.
Seeing how short the queue is makes me want to cry. I waited about 3 hours to ride Shambala and they were only running one train (it was around the 5th April last year.
Theme Park Worldwide I'll have to visit again, I only managed to ride Shambala, Furious Baco, Tukuti Splash and the Silver River Flume (the water rides were all walk on queues). Also Hurucan Condor wasn't operating. Despite that though, Furious Baco had an hour and a half long queue but we got on it in around 15 minutes.
I was meant to be going to thorpe during June but I can't go anymore which is sad as i never get the chance to visit any theme park (mainly as my family aren't coaster fans, and i can't afford to travel to parks haha) and I was really really excited, but seeing a vlog from you at one of my bucket list parks cheered me up a little (':
Aw, my heart goes out to Alex! I saw a few people getting off Wicker Man last week because the restraints were too small. Hope he gets a ride in soon. 😊
Hi Sean, I'm going in July so am looking forward to going on shambhala for the first time !! Can i use my gopro on the rides?? And I'm staying at one of the portaventura hotel's for 7 nights do you think I'll need fast tracks ?? Can you also do a travel vlog for cedar point 🤞🤞???
The ride operators sometimes allow cameras and at other times they don't. You should purchase the week long fast track from the hotel as it is great value! Thanks for watching
Good ol furious baco! as you say the experience is very different for some, my Dad absolutely hated it lmao. Me and my brother then used our gold fast pass and ended up riding Shambala 27 times in a row 😆
I love your channel! Barely anyone else vlogs theme parks in detail and it's getting me so excited for my holiday to Salou! Thank you for all your work.

Ofc I will! I actually live in Stockholm! Glad to hear you are visiting Kolmården again! I think that's my favorite vlog so far after Six Flags Magic Mountain!
1:17:00, the TuTuki Special strikes again! Love it! 🤣
lol "Please remain seated!"
Definition of queue jumping:
Dragon Khan
I hated dragon khan. I swear i couldn't fucking breathe
@Phantasialand Fan what month was that in?
Just got back from Salou and we did our first Euro Theme Park because of your vlog. From Red Force, where I had to check my face was still attached to my head to Shambhala. Words can not do that coaster justice. Beats anything we have in the UK hands down. I can see why you named it Furious backache. The outer seats shook me to my bones. Thankyou
We're glad that you had a good time
Thanks for the video...i've been here 4 times throughout my childhood and watching this has brought back a lot of memories, it's probably my favorite place in the world, simply for the atmosphere
When you told the girl to be seated I died 😂
Ive been to portaventura 96 times exact , its because i live there in salou , also grate vlog ! I love it
skini b ur so lucky
Alex, ease up on the dairy, throw on some spanx and get on Shambhala!
Great vlog Guys!
Can't wait for tomorrow's vlog!
Stay tuned for day 2 of the trip tomorrow!
Why didn't he go on?
Loved this vlog! Hopefully going in the summer, this just makes me excited!
Aww great vlog guys just love you and Alex so funny shame he didn't get on shambala and he tore his shorts bless him xxxxx
Name a better theme park duo, I’ll wait
id love to visit this park, i know youve mentioned budget flying and such but i cant even affrod to travel to alton towers (i dont drive) i really want to ride shambala! one day.
Omg the girl in front of u on shambhala is me.
We could do with some ride like this in our parks back in the UK especially shambhala and Dragon khan those coasters look out of this world thank you Shaun for uploading this video. I hope your mate finds some new shorts lol 😎😎😎😎
Thanks for watching!
Shambhala is one of my fave coasters and furious baco is the most painful, bone shaking ride I've ever been on!
Found this channel yesterday when longing for Liseberg and am now going through all the European park vloggs to find good places to go. This one if def high on the list since I'm going to Spain in a couple of weeks!
We hope you've found some great parks to visit
I’m going next week might see u 😂😂
I don't know why people dislike Baco, you say rough, I say intense!
Love it!
I love the launch!
Theme Park Worldwide feels more intense than red force
Although I got bruised, the launch was amazing. More launches should have a launch like that.
it WAS smooth when it was new - incredibly so but now it is very rough - Rip Ride Rocket in Orlando went the same way
Awesome as anything. The vlog, the sun and the park is so amazing. Never been to the park but been passed it few times on the coach and the lil train thing that goes to the entrance. Alex getting wet lol. Shambhala is just one amazing coaster and great POV to. Amazing how many people wave to your camera.
Thanks for watching
Love when you do a blog on this park, have really fond memories of this place, I really need to get out their this year at some point. Just got i from my nightshift and sleep ain't happening now for another hour and 30 mins.. Cheers Shaun! Great work as always!
The crane is for the new addition to the hotel gold river for 2019 along with a new dark ride in sesamo aventura
Please remain seated lol shawn so funny 😂😂😂
I went to this park when I was about 11 years old, hopefully I can go back and ride on some of the bigger coasters. Shambhala looks amazing!
Puts our parks to shame.
Thank you for the rides I like your vlogs because you take us on the rides with you.
Thank you, we always film on ride at the parks that allow it
This is making me so excited for my first ever visit to this park. Might have to save up some money for a fast track though as I am going in the six weeks holiday....
It's well worth it!
awww great video we are going to Salou in July can't wait
Heading off to Barcelona in 9 days and this place is the first place to go on my list!! Loved the vlog as usual :)
Eleven years ago? That's not bad, I just figured out the last time I visited Port Aventura was either thirty one or thirty three years ago! Looking forward to going next year but I'm deeply saddened the ghost train is gone now. That was my favourite.
Bless you Alex, I hope you'll be able to get on it soon enough! Stay strong and motivated, you can do it!
Tune into the day two vlog to see if he gets on!
i went here earlier this year and I LOVED IT!
So happy you went back to this amazing park 👌🏼 it’s such a good park with so many good thrill rides 😊 when I went there which was 4 weeks ago I went on furious backo, which I was absolutely gob smacked about. Also the theming is so so good and fits with the quiet area and peaceful area of this part of Spain. When are you next going to Drayton Manor cause I would love to meet you and take some photos 😀👌👌
We're not sure when our next visit to Drayton Manor will be but if you see us make sure you say hello!
Theme Park Worldwide definetly will say hello. Ill probably scream tbh
Going to P.A and Ferrari land next week. Watching your videos is just topping up the already brimming excitement! Eek. Yas Stranger xx
Love portaventra its the best going there soon in a couple of days.
Going for a school trip this is gonna be awesome!!
Loved it when i went here 1 or 2 years ago, loved shambala and furious baco!
That water ride made me laugh that was prefect timing on that lift hill 😀😀😀😀 brilliant vlog 😀😀
I got a fantastic shot of the missus getting it in the face, filming from the bridge :D
Another amazing vlog so nice to see PA again can't wait to get back there in September
Portaventura, beautiful. Also I saw Alex at Alton towers on the 7th of April and couldn’t believe it. Love the vids and keeep. It up
You made me more excited for my trip on the 16th of June
Have a great time!
I’m off to Salou this Tuesday, ready to ride Shami B for the first time! Can’t wait to get on what I presume will be my new number one coaster ❤️
Have an amazing time!
Theme Park Worldwide Thanks
I have been waiting for this vlog, portadventura is my favourite park and ferarri world is lit too. The parades are the best and the fireworks are almost but not s good as disny. Stampeda is still my fave tho because it's still classic and not oo much and has the right amount of thrill to enjoy it too! However everything else is also amazing :)) enjoy yourself!

Want you to go to PortAventura on the christmas event!!!
Regards from PortAventura!!!
I love theme parks so I love you videos, that’s for making them !!
I’m going to PA next week for the first time!! can’t wait
Have an amazing trip!
Shambhala looks fantastic.
Awesome vlog from an awesome park! Thanks guys
When there a year ago and loved it!! Thought it was every bit as good as Disney land for atmosphere and theming
There were 2 Charlotte's on the boat ride next to you!
So Dragon Kahn has a new theming element - The Alex Crump shorts ripper!
Don’t know if you know Shaun but they’ve changed the boats on the rapids now to make them more safer
I'll try and visit at some point
I went on Halloween and went on the Rec and horror in texas. I also went on Shambala and i was really scared but i loved it. Baco was very good aswell.
I checked your channel every day for this since you put up the travel vlog 😂😂
We hope you enjoyed it Charlotte
Portaventura really is a such a nice park, just feel like it's now lacking a little in terms of rides.

Pinnacle Level Design LDC I know, just far too rough now
just no. its still a really good and nice coaster. definitly not "too rough".
Roughness in rides adds to the experience for me.
“It looks really nicely presentated actually”
I went to port aventura in the summer of 2017 and i was quite diasapointed. We ended up queing two hours for most rides as they were putting through 2 fastrack full trains to one non-fastrack.
The summer can be manic at the park, especially with the express passes
I was there again last month but I stay at the portaventura park hotels so the park is free to me ♥️♥️ I miss it so much already I was there for 2 weeks ☀️
Nice, Went there myself about 11 years ago.. Nice spanish sun and rollercoasters whats not to like :)
I first subscribed because of your 2017 trip!
The difference between Alex and shawns tans is incredible!
I think this is on my shortlist for a visit next year.
Can’t wait to visit this park!
Been waiting for this! Keep up the vlogs Shawn, i'm loving them! :D
Thank you very much, there's plenty to come throughout the next few weeks! May is going to be the busiest month of the year for us so far
Cant Wait! :D
Great video Shawn good to see the milk man at port aventura
hi shaun we have just come back from spain and we were here last week my first time on shambala and dragon khan both fantastic rides
I miss this theme park it’s one of my faves! 🙂
Hey shawn another great vlog loving them recently keep it up, Question for you just wondering its on my mind but when you go to these parks how do you keep your wallet,keys,phone etc safe and not loose them ?

Thanks for watching, I have a zip pocket and sometimes use that! If not I use a bag and leave it off ride
Ok thanks for the tips shawn keep up the great work
Thx
Good to see some nice changes at the park, although there are still things that needed sorted.
Last time I visited the food, operations and customer service had room for improvement.
I know how Alex feels. It hurts to get turned down for a ride. I have been fighting with my weight for years. Just over seven weeks and having a complete bypass. A couple of months rest then hopefully I will get back on the big rides again. I really like the vlogs when Alex is with you.
Thanks for watching
I went in July and it was amazing I got on the front of all the rides
I’m going on Thursday can’t wait I’ve been there a couple of times
It’s 2018 yet people still stare when people are vlogging. 😏
Comparitively, vlogging is still a relatively rare activity, and people naturally look at others when theyre speaking, so it doesnt really suprise me
I’m off to this park in August 2019 I super excited 😆
On my 4th watch of this vlog can't wait to go on may 13th
Have a great time!
You can thank Universal for PortAventura’s impressive theming
Seeing how short the queue is makes me want to cry. I waited about 3 hours to ride Shambala and they were only running one train (it was around the 5th April last year.
The operations were bad last year, seems to of improved at the moment
Theme Park Worldwide I'll have to visit again, I only managed to ride Shambala, Furious Baco, Tukuti Splash and the Silver River Flume (the water rides were all walk on queues). Also Hurucan Condor wasn't operating. Despite that though, Furious Baco had an hour and a half long queue but we got on it in around 15 minutes.
I SUPPORT YOU 110% ALEX!!! Switch to skim milk, give it a try!!! You are my FAVORITE ON THIS CHANNEL, AND I THINK YOU ARE A DOLL!!!
Cant wait to go back here
Super Vlog! As always! Enjoyed it very much. But I'll never understand why people wear plastic bags in water rides
furius baco gave me a headache but its a great ride!
It sure is good fun, especially the launch
So Shawn when are you going to cedar point it has always been somewhere I’ve wanted to see on the channel
The end of may!
We are coming here with school in July next year, staying in salou for a week 😊
Yay it’s finally here!
Omg brings back memories lol
Morgan N same👌🏻
I’m finally going for the first time next year 😁 so excited for red force and shambhala
Looking forward to this. Will watch it tomorrow.
I love going there
Creepergaming It's one of the best!
This is what the doctor ordered! Great vlog boys!
I was meant to be going to thorpe during June but I can't go anymore which is sad as i never get the chance to visit any theme park (mainly as my family aren't coaster fans, and i can't afford to travel to parks haha) and I was really really excited, but seeing a vlog from you at one of my bucket list parks cheered me up a little (':
We're glad our vlog cheered you up!
Great vid man keep up the gud content...SHAMBALA!!!
Aw, my heart goes out to Alex! I saw a few people getting off Wicker Man last week because the restraints were too small. Hope he gets a ride in soon. 😊
Check out part 2 to see him ride!
Great day one Vlog Shawn

We may do if we get chance!
Hi Sean, I'm going in July so am looking forward to going on shambhala for the first time !! Can i use my gopro on the rides??
And I'm staying at one of the portaventura hotel's for 7 nights do you think I'll need fast tracks ?? Can you also do a travel vlog for cedar point 🤞🤞???
The ride operators sometimes allow cameras and at other times they don't. You should purchase the week long fast track from the hotel as it is great value! Thanks for watching
Theme Park Worldwide ok thanks 4 the reply. Keep up the good work 👍
Good ol furious baco! as you say the experience is very different for some, my Dad absolutely hated it lmao. Me and my brother then used our gold fast pass and ended up riding Shambala 27 times in a row 😆
I'm here at the moment. Got told my GoPro is prohibited 😐 how you guys get to film on the ride ={ ?
