The best park in Europe - It will be a little longer. If you don't feel like it, don't read it, but I think it will be useful because I see massively what reviews there are, and things can be much simpler. Great park! Great vib! You need to know how to make it work in your favor. Go during the week, no Fridays. Buy tickets in advance. If you want a Ferrari, go 30 minutes before the park opens and run. If you don't, you'll be waiting 2 hours. In PortAventura, don't stand in line at Furious Baco, head to Far West and start with the less adrenaline-pumping attractions. There won't be any there. Leave the big attractions for after 2pm. Eat at 12 noon so you're not waiting in line for a hot dog. Don't buy a fast pass unless you're only there for 1 day. Everyone buys and you wait in big lines and the price is killer. Where there is a stand alone queue, use it. If you waited once at Shambhala to ride with friends, then stand in the single queue and ride 10 more times in 1 hour. Between 2 and 5 there are the least people in the queues. Bring sunscreen and hats or you will die of a heart attack. The park is huge, but don't mind being busy. The queues to wait between 10 and 30 minutes are small, don't think you'll get through in 10 minutes, it's almost impossible. Those who have written that they get through like that are one of a kind, lucky people. 40 minutes is NOT a long wait, believe me. If the attraction isn't extreme but there is a big line, skip it. At the end of the day, before you leave, go to Furious Baco. You won't wait under 1 hour probably and you'll ride for 32 seconds. It's a nice ride, but not worth the wait. By all means don't go with socks and flip flops because it's ugly and pointless. If you are in flip flops, go barefoot. For the macho people who think underarm hair is manly, you're wrong. Get everything out of there. When you sweat, it smells pretty bad, especially in the ;summer months. Masculinity is not in the hair but in your behavior. Sorry if I offend anyone, but it's a fact. When you raise your hands, it stinks twice as much, and we're in line together. Those who go without socks - cut your nails. Have some respect for your bodies and maintain them. The views are extremely unpleasant. Don't make the people in line in front and behind you share that. Don't get in front because there will always be someone more cunning than you and they will screw you over, or slap you, it happens often. Hispanics are a different culture and if you're not a local, take it a little easy. Don't compare the park to other parks, there's no point. This one is, so try to get a feel for it and outsmart it by being one step ahead. For families with young kids, don't inflict it on them if they are under 12. It's terribly hot in the summer months and you'll doom your kids to death in the queues. The park is for slightly older "kids" and adults, no matter what the commercials tell you. Chances are you'll be disappointed, as well as having paid €1000 for one go. If you have any questions about the crawling experience, you can email me at [email protected]. I've been to this park 14 times, I don't think any can give you better information that won't really mislead you. I wish you great emotions and remember - think about how you do it. If you want relaxation, walking, attractions and fun, go for a minimum of 3 days unless you want to leave disappointed. 80 euros for 3 days and more than a good price.

Amazing time. - Excellent. Went in May, weekday, and purchased "fast track/que skip". All rides open. Moderately busy. However, again, great weather, skipped every que. Amazing rollercoasters/rides. Coach transfer their and back. Good price, and day.

Best Amusement Park for kids - We have been to many amusement parks for kids such as Disney, warner brother, lego land etc and we found this to be the most younger kids friendly while also offered full enjoyments for our older kids and adults alike. Themes are fun, rides are fun, food outlets and gift items were fun. Parade and fire works were accessible by large crowd. Will surly visit anytime we are in Catalonia.

Port Aventura - Really joyful experience. Very exciting attractions for adults. The park has big territory with lot of different places for different ages. We used only those Attractions where minimum height was 140cm and stuff checked it Cerys seriously.

Review - Great theme park, the only thing me and my other half didn't like nor really dislike the short period of both boat ride and old school train around the park which lasted about 3-5 minutes maximum boat ride was about the same length. Waiting in a 20 minute que for minute's wasn't worth it.

Okay but not great - Not overly impressed. Park opens at 10am, the bus did not get us there until gone 11am. The coach needs to leave much sooner so that customers get a full day at the park (e.g, 9:30 ready for the park to open). Tickets we were given got us straight into the park. No queue, great! Bus requested us to be back at 6:30pm, this was a disappointment as the park didn’t close until 8pm so missed a whole 1 hour and half of the end of the day. We could have used this time to go on another ride. The queues were horrendous, we only got on 3 of the main rollercoasters in the 7 hours we were there. Would recommend express pass.

Not guaranteed to skip queues like it says in 'what's included'. - Fooled into thinking that it included fast pass as it says 'guaranteed to skip queues'. Turns out not included at all. So quite pricey in the end. Better to do find transport and buy tickets separately.

Online ticket is useless for information - Online ticket is useless. Says on the ticket to show the bus driver but you needed to get a ticket from an unknown office. Bus was late and I received my ticket late so i was put on a later bus even though I was early. Also on the online ticket it says return bus is 19:30 but on my physical ticket it says 18:30. Never seen such disorganization and miscommunication in Spain.
