Title: Port Aventura. Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 09:15:35 In salou just wanted to know if anyone on here has ever been and what its like
Any info ? Title: Port Aventura. Post by: Nemo on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 09:18:50 The Universal Park yeah?
It's pretty good actually, much better than Disneyland Paris and such rubbish. Title: Port Aventura. Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 09:20:45 Yeah its that one thanks Nemo
Title: Port Aventura. Post by: Nemo on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 09:24:11 Remind me of the names of the roller coasters and I might be able to tell you more, these places all fade into one. Is this the one with the massive Superman one and the Jokers thingy? Actually thats probably Six Flags...
Title: Port Aventura. Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 09:25:45 Yeah I've been. I only really remember the dragon one with loads of loops. Sat on there for about an hour.
Had some crazy pass things which meant I could skip the queue, although it wasn't that busy anyway. I think I went late summer. I think there's the standard wooden jobby and a log water thing. Good fun. Title: Port Aventura. Post by: STFCBird on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 09:33:25 Port Aventura is ace, but I didn't like Salou much. I found the people rude. Salou is the Spanish people's Brighton so they don't like foreingers. Well that is the impression I got anyway!
Title: Port Aventura. Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 09:34:30 Thanks for that not too sure on the names of the rides need to look a bit into it, Was there much for young kids that you can remember Ben/Nemo
Title: Port Aventura. Post by: Nemo on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 09:36:16 Oh yeah, Salou. If you want a fake Barcelona shirt, absolutely everywhere sells them.
Oh, and you can haggle in most shops, or they'll rip you off blind. Title: Port Aventura.

Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 09:46:44 I just trained in for the day from Barcelona when I went.
I think there was loads for kids. It was about 6years ago that I went so it might have changed a bit. Title: Port Aventura. Post by: Nemo on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 09:49:52 If you're staying in one of the Universal Hotels, the land train thing to the actual park is quite fun for the kids, but theres also whole sections of kiddie rides in the park.
I wikipedia'd the rollercoasters and its the one with Dragon Khan. Pretty good ride that, better than anything in the UK. Title: Port Aventura. Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 12:28:45 is there a monorail?
Thats my fav thing about Alton Towers as me and my sister get to sing the monorail song from the Simpsons? Title: Port Aventura. Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 12:36:09 Cheers for the info sounds good
Title: Port Aventura. Post by: Arriba on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 12:41:21 i went there 10 years ago.the park was brilliant and non peak season you fly round all the attractions as the queues were virtually non existant.
i stayed in cap salou just on the outskirts with a small cove beach that was not overfilled with people and bloody lovely actually.(basque terrorists set a bomb off right outside the hotel a couple of years ago when they were on their bombing spree) i loved the place and will return one day.my brother and his family went last year,stayed in salou itself and had a great time. barcelona just up the road,other stuff near. Title: Port Aventura. Post by: Lash_sumthin on Thursday, May 15, 2008, 16:30:25 cap salou is the place, been once with my family and once for a lads hol, changed so much in between. The parks ace great 7 looper but something for most ages. Defo check the water park out tho not far away one of the most enjoyable ive been to

I went years ago with my family and it was an awful place.Sure if the Port Aventura had been built it would have improved our holiday no end! Title: Port Aventura.
