EC!

General feelings about my first day in Port Aventura. Shambhala is just special in every way, just amazing I think its taken my number 1 coaster spot for me. <3 Dragon Khan, was well a bit of a dissapointment I don't know if it was the conditions but it was quite forceless apart from the zero G and that MCBR is criminal. Furius Baco, I love and hate this ride at the same time, the launch, airtime after launch and inline twist are unlike anything I have ever experienced, it is marred by the fact it is really rough, I still like it though probably my 2nd favourite at the mo in the park. Stampida Blue... Probably the worst roller coaster I have ever experienced, It was like 2 full minutes of getting aggressively beaten up, if I wanted this I would have entered a boxing match, not riding a wooden coaster!!! eurgchhh! Hopefully Stampida red will be better tomorrow... El Diablo I actually quite liked! Having 3 lifthills is a little pointless but overall, a solid little ride Tami Tami... +1 but a solid little kiddie ride that was quite fun Tomahawk broke... The spite! </3 Night rides tomorrow and Horror mazes as well, very excited!

I have to say shambhala is perfect in every way its just rollercoaster porn!! Love it love it love it!!!!!

Just came off my first ride at port aventura... Furius Baco. I can describe it in 1 word... Ouch!!! Its like getting beaten up, but I weirdly like it but its still really painful!!

This is mine!!!! Theme Park: Europa Park Coaster: Wodan (This will probably change this friday...) Country: USA Band: Korn Song: (At the Moment...) David Guetta - Dangerous Movie: The Dark Knight TV Show: Family Guy or Top Gear Book (by series): UK city: London Ice Cream (by brand): Kelly's Restaurant: Pizza Express Article(s) of Clothing: Chino shorts!! Love my chino shorts Dunno what else I could put lol

Right... so if he has good links why would said people lie to him...

They say "roller coaster style", but then these guys are the creators of the washing machine element so taking their word for it that, that whole area is going to be removed now when there hasn't been anything in terms of planning applications submitted yet is a little stupid at the moment because this isn't like fright nights where they released the information like a week before this is over a year and a half away, so I just think they are pulling stuff out of their bums at the moment.

Just announced Liseberg are getting a Zierer Starshape like Danter's Air and Bling! http://liseberg.se/sv/hem/Nojesparken/Attraktioner/Mechanica/ This honestly has a better release trailer then Helix did imo!

Jamie that was the original plans circulating for oblivion, surprised you mistook that for eftelings real thing!! Supposedly it will have an immelmann and either a vertical loop or zero g, as well as a helix. So its definitely more interesting then oblivion...

I hope to make this one so put me as a maybe

My ride count for yesterday... 1x Nemesis Inferno 1x Carousel (first time on it probably last time as well...) 1x Rocky Express 1x Loggers Leap 1x Slammer 1x X 1x Studio 13 1x My Bloody Valentine 1x Cabin In The Woods 1x Colossus 1x Saw: The Ride 1x Swarm 1x Stealth 13 rides in 8hrs and 30 mins ain't so bad (I was there from 10:30 till 21:05 so I suppose that ain't too bad although if I didn't queue for mazes that I thought were a bit boring after doing them I probably could have gotten so much more in, which in hindsight I wish I did tbh although the atmosphere was great as I was with friends but year fright nights was a bit of a letdown, rides at night?? Definately not so, Stealth in the dark was amazing, so was Saw as the fire effect went off on the drop, I love night rides they make a ride so much better but I think Stealth takes it as my number coaster there now I just love the thing!

Sooooo yeah yesterday was ridiculous for mazes, weren't too bad apart from the bloody long stealth break down. I think what most annoyed me is that I was in the mbv queue for 2 and a half hour because they were just piling fasttrack in, which was annoying, citw for fasttrack was the worst though, the FT queueline was coming out of the start of the FT queueline, luckily we were one of the first on for S13 although it didn't amount to much for me. My highlights were riding Colossus, Saw, Swarm and Stealth in the dark as the rides I had on them were epic, I don't rate Saw at all highly but I had fun on it at night plus the fire effect went off so that made the drop special, overall it was a good day but the maze fasttrack which completely sold out by 6:50pm when I checked was a lot left to be desired, but I had a good day that was the main thing. Also I only got on the 3 mazes I named as Blair was on 3 hours when it opened and Saw seemed to break down a lot so didn't risk it. I still think cabin is the best with S13 my least favourite I feel.

Today has been horrendous for breakdowns samurai all day same with rumba, saw, swarm and stealth down virtually at the same time at one point, and many e stops on the mazes so far, MBV for me was just better then S13 but I still think it's a bit rubbish hopefully CITW will perk me up lol

Swarm was closed for about 10/20 mins but is back open now. Tbh james with these mazes, I have done most before and I know people should judge before doing it but I feel like if I don't enjoy it the first time I'm less inclined to do it a second its like last year I did mbv once and I didn't like it and didn't do it again whereas with cite I really enjoyed it and did it 2 more times so, I know I really should base of first impressions but when its busy its all I can do...

Just came off of studio 13, didn't like it to be honest the scares were really lazy, strobes are just annoying and the final scene is disappointing seeming as chainsaw guy didn't chase us, he just stood a corner doing barely anything and I just walked out which was a bit dull... 4/10 for me really well themed but the reasons above stopped it from getting any higher for me.

I love how the the least scary maze according to thorpe is getting the most love at the moment

Honest questions has anyone experienced PA's Horror mazes as I will be there in 2 weeks with DGC, just wondering if any of you highly rated them? Also when I get there what happens with rides. Do they adopt a staggered opening system or do all of the rides open at 10am. Plus we are getting the Unlimited Express pass, usually how busy are the queues for these lanes. One final question, which ride is best to try first, in any of your experieces?? Much appreciated

Double post sorry but this is what I&#39;m guessing is the inspiration for this tower for Karnan I think it looks amazing, very german and very pretty tbh

Well exactly, the guy said it was for Studio 13 so he knows this because of the video, so that character is at the park in a maze, simple really...

To call it horrid when it isn't even finished yet and is currently just a slab of concrete is just stupid these are the concept art designs for it Very ominous, very intimidating to a member of the GP only seeing a train at the bottom on the tower shooting out at nearly 80 mph, its meant to be mysterious which is why it works well, plus any building themed to old age germanesque architecture is on to a win as it is quite pretty plus by the looks of it, it will be an old stony brown type brick facade which I think looks great. Also 1 more thing if it looks awful, compare it to something similar like Mystery Castle in Phantasialand Its basically a smaller version of what Karnan's building ( this is still over 215ft) will be and I think it looks fantastic and fits well in to a german gothic theme. I think it will look great!

Its better then the very long straight piece of wooden track used on Colossus like before...

Looks like RMC and SF were having fun with the pre lift sequence, very bumpy haha

But as a ride experience Dete blows Apocalypse out the water Coasterforce, very decent compared to the other one... English Bulldogs or French Bulldogs?

Agreed, I have seen celebs in parks before, where they have wanted to be low key, which is fine, I just dont like it when we get the few, whom have a god complex that need to push infront of everyone to make the gp's day a little more miserable, although the celebs I have seen whom have been low key have been fine, I saw Former radio 1 DJ Sara cox once there, she was there with her family and just queued like everyone else, which was good

Yeah I went in July with a former member of TPM, and on to separate occasions, this American rapper called A$AP Rocky This dude...(with Skrillex in this photo) In fact here is a picture of him on swarm. First time we saw him was in the disabled exit for Samurai in which he took up 2 rows with him and his entourage, luckily that time it didn't affect me because we were already on the ride, but he then affected us by going on Stealth as I was queueing for the 2nd row for the 2nd to last train of the day, which I needed to get so I didn't get back to the station to late (I'd already waited like 20 minutes at this point) and I was just about to get on he turned up just pushed into the front 4 rows without warning with thorpe park security, safe to say I was P***ed off big time luckily there was a space on that train at the back which I was aloud to go on, but it meant separating with my friends early and I get to say goodbye properly, which was annoying (although that was probably my fault seeing I probably could tell going on would make me a little late) but the point stands that Its bloody annoying when you get these celebs push in just because they are famous, so annoying, never heard that many grumbles from the queue line ever! Way to make your self popular with the people lol.
