Mark9 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Guaranteed they all got in that queue thinking it was Shambhala and then got disappointed that it was only Khan. thorpeparkjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackR Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 LOTS of Shambhalalalalalalal photos here. Credit to a few Coaster Force users, you can see the rest of the photos in the Shabhala thread over there. Splashdown We can see there is going to be a lot of willy lift there... That first hill... Splashdown looks a bit short IMO. Lovely station themeing. Kinda remins me of the pictures of The Swarm taken behind the trees swooping round the inclined loop when it was testing. Looks like the 'Dum Dum' character who 'wants gum gum' in Night of the Museum. The size of that turnaround TRIM. Let the complaining and comments that the ride is now ruined start here... I'm sure pictures cannot do this view in real life justice. Lovley turn around/station here... And last but not least, some lovely lift hill porn. charlie120 and Stealthowl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Port Aventura it's a good theme park, didn't really think much of it when I went back in 2007, its very slow moving, constantly packed (like playing a game of Theme Park Sardines). The main thing I liked about it was the fact that Woody the Woodpecker is their mascot. The rides were alright Dragon Khan is the best the Furious Baco the second. but over all meh.

RobD Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 ^ But the long hours and relaxed atmosphere make PA. It's a park you need to do over several days, not just rush around. In it's defense, I've NEVER seen queues as long as those in the UK (I've visited 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011). It's far better themed than anything we have, and boasts a better selection of re-rideable coasters. Oh, and has a firework disply that lasts 20 minutes every night from June to Septemeber and boasts 10am - midnight hours throughout this period. Where 'meh' comes in, is beyond me, but what can I say, I'm probably the forum's biggest PA fanboy, so, hey hum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
