I am planning a trip to PortAventura this year and this is very helpful, especially the "how to get to the park" section and the info about FastPass and single rider queues. Please make more of these for other European theme parks!

I went to PortAventura in 2018, I enjoyed it and would love to ride Shambhala again, I was there for about a week, I always ate at La Cantina in Mexico, which felt like a school lunch hall, but at least they had nachos & guac

Went on my 2nd visit back in April. Still my absolute favourite theme park I’ve ever been to. (So far.)

Cannot wait to go again.

It was a pleasure getting to spiel to your train on Twisted Timbers the other day!

Hi Harry, thank you for sharing your thoughts, it's greatly appreciated, it looks like a decent park with a couple of great B&Ms too. Cheers Peter 🙂

Thanks for tips. Heading out there in 3 weeks. Can’t wait!

Watching this to get myself into the exicted jitters of going back soon!!! Being twice and ive loved it both times :)

[Joepert]

And one last tip; use the single rider lines, located at Shambala, Uncharted and a few others! Especially early morning these are definitely worth it. Was able to redo uncharted 5 times with a ~5min maximum wait!

i regret not riding shambhala when i went to portaventura now... when i saw the seats i dipped but after researching a bit more after the trip and realizing theyre even better than over-the-shoulder restraints... at least i rode all the other ones

I live in Spain, and since I discovered this park it’s always been a summer tradition . Its attractions are amazing and so is its theming, a must do in Europe

By the way guys, I sincerely recommend buying the Fast pass if you’re staying between 1 - 3 days . Trust me, it’s gonna make a huge upgrade on your experience and worth the money

Amazing video as always homie !

As someone to whom PA is their hometown park, ... and I can tell you, you were on point on all your observations and suggestions, Congratulations.

Didn't know Zoe has coeliac disease. Reading information beforehand about the availability of gluten free food is such a relief, so thanks for providing your experiences!

I heard from multiple people that they have purposefully bad operations to convince people to buy fast passes, and operators get told off by their managers for being too fast.
But I also read that they haven't been that bad this season, so I have hope.

Hey Harry. Just wanted to say a quick hi - I’m the guy who shook your hand yesterday in the queue for Maverick. Thanks for all the content! 😊 Andy x

Some corrections/updates: the park closes later than midnight in some specific days. Uncharted no longer has a single rider queue, now it's for it's specific express One.

6 nights next year! Grandparents and kids all coming too so we get days where we can go without the kids and with. Staying in one of the hotels. Cannot wait!!

I haven't been, but it looks great, especially now that I hear the ops are better now.

[carlnash]

Can I just say that attempting to join a queue 1 minute is not recommended. I've known them to close rides 10 minutes before closing time.

I went this year and luckily the operators worked decently fast!
Yes it was still a long queue but atleast they moved a bit
