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.

I'm sure pictures cannot do this view in real life justice.

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.

^ 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.

and it's in Spain and it has two B&Ms and it has a rapids ride and it has Three A's in its name. Oh and a P!

But in Wolf's opinion this is untrue.
