It was thanks to your coverage of Portaventura especially the parades which made us book a stay there a few years back, and after watching this well edited and enjoyable video with lots of important information that you truly are a Portaventura specialist, whilst I was a bit gutted ahead of our 5 night trip in September to hear about the changes to fast pass for hotel guests, I will just have to save a little more cash to fast pass at least on 2 days. Despite the problems with departure hopefully you went home feeling energised after a couple of days in the Sun. Thank you for your coverage - top class.
Thank you Kevin, really appreciate this. I’ve always really enjoyed filming at PortAventura and I’m glad it has helped encourage a visit there 😁
Tell you what Scott, that was a great vlog on your own. You covered so much about the park and spoke very well. Danny - Intothebrakerun
Thank you! 😀
Shambahla is a dream coaster for me, looks like pure joy
Air time machine but lacks intensity at times
Top vlogging Scott, you need not worry about doing a vlog for us on your tod (own) you’re old hat at this stuff. Great shots, knowledgeable insights, what’s not to like 😉
Thanks Paul, appreciate this! I was nervous about doing it at points but I enjoyed it, especially enjoyed getting the off ride videos.
Those furious baco screams sound exactly like your intro scream haha love it. Great vlog Scott think you did a smashing job, I've not been but it's on my radar now!
Thank you, I totally recommend a visit but definitely with fast pass purchased too.
Hi Scott, I’ve watched many of your vlogs but rarely comment. Just wanted to say this was an excellent vlog and thanks for sharing your trip. Looking forward to all your other content this year 👍
Thanks Ben, much appreciated
Great vlog, the perfect watch to beat the blues of getting home from PA today! 😃
Thanks Matt! I am missing PA a lot too.
Great video Scott, very well done on your first one with many more to come. Definitely want to do Port Aventura as never done it before and looks an amazing park to visit. Thank you for a cracking video and can't wait to visit.
Thanks Gavin, I recommend a visit so much. For a first time visit give yourself at least two days in the main park.
Great vlog, beautiful off ride shots! Nice work Scott. -C.
Thank you 😊 Enjoyed filming the coaster shots
You smashed it Scott. Well done. This was a great vlog. I really enjoyed it and I can’t wait to get back to PA in late June/July x
Thank you. Hope you have an excellent visit 😀
Great vlog mate, I miss this park! You came off very confident solo vlogging despite the nerves
Thanks Dan!
Great Vlog Scott and very tempted to book my own solo trip and with the fast pass now after watching this :)
Thanks Adam, totally recommend it. I'd recommend a stay at the Regente Aragon in Salou.
Enjoying the longer form vlogs. Good job on your own, looking forward to more content *thumbs up*
Thank you! I wasn't sure if I'd manage to get this to a good duration with it being just me so I was pleased with the end time.
Absolutely brilliant VLOG Scott 😊
Thank you :)
Love your videos fella keep smashing it wish I had the gadgets to make my own vlog videos keep it up 💙💙💙💙💙👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, I’ve worked hard and saved harder to get the equipment I want for video creation
Keep it up fella not been on any theme Parks for a long time. But once I saved up to Get a go pro and would love to do a video on them parks but Yh keep smashing it 💙💙💙💙💙💙✅✅✅✅✅✅
Great vlog Scott. Still the best around with the banter of the usual group and also solo as well. Glad to hear your positive feedback of Shambhala, I love that ride.
Thanks Adam, appreciate the feedback
great vlog mate hoping to do a day trip to PA later on in the year can't wait to get back on Shambhala
Brill, thank you! I've been finding a lot of cheap flights to Reus in term time lately.
Great vlog Scott, well done!
Thanks Neil :)
Thanks for getting me hyped for our visit tomorrow! Nothing wrong with these solo vlogs btw 👌🏻
Have fun! :)
Great solo vlog Scott , you smashed it pal 🤜🏻🤛🏻🧱👍🏼
Thanks 👍
@@yourexperienceguide 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Really enjoyed this Scott. Couldn’t tell it was your first solo one. Went to pleasure beach for the first time in 10 years last week and have been binging your vlogs.
Hope for a trip to PA soon, not been since 2008
Thank you Mark! Totally recommend a visit to PortAventura 😊
Great vlog Scott , well done , hoping to go to portaventura next year , great advice and tips, the fast passes seem well worth it .
Thanks John, I can't recommend fast pass enough at this park
Lovely solo vlog scott , nice footage and reviews ,fastpass is good thanks 4 sharing
Glad you enjoyed this, thank you
Great vlog Scott! We are heading to Portaventura in July so it was great to see a new vlog there, even more excited to get back now. Interesting about the fast passes, definitely an option for us 👍
Can I say as well, we also love all your Pleasure Beach content, its such a great park 😁
Thank you Niki
Superb covered everything, spoke very well the boys a natural!
Thank you, feedback is appreciated :)
Great vlog (aside the the constant fastpass promotion - remember it's just bribery at the end of the day, by giving them more money in order to jump in front of others, often who may not be able to afford it, get fewer visits due to cost and as a result get on fewer rides that day due to longer queues)
Loving the park facts and trivia added into the later vlogs though. Some really interesting stuff. Nice work
Thanks Andy, without fast pass there’d be no vlog. It is an absolute necessity to get the most out of a day at PortAventura.
Top solo job Scott, I love that park 👍
Thank you, me too! I used to have a season pass, had to stop buying one it was too tempting to go 3/4 times a year.
Smashed your first solo vlog 👍 A stampida RMC would be a fantastic move
Thank you! Agreed about Stampida
Great vlog pal! Not been since I was a kid certainly gunna get over at some point!
Thank you, and yeah I think you should do it if you can :) Weekdays in September are usually very quiet.
Never took any notice of this park as I'm in love with Blackpool but love there parade its fabulous safe journey you were fab on your vlog and im thrilled you did it your amazing and dont you forget it legend that's you
Blackpool is good fun but the big European parks are in a completely different league
Totally recommend a visit
Yes I’m here five weeks today in El Paso hotel on the resort…. Can’t wait
Have an incredible time
I’m going next year, and it will be my first time abroad the uk. I’m super exited
I hope you have a great time
Class video, I’m going there in august can’t wait 👍
Hope you enjoy it :)
Really good vlog Scott, my daughter went there, her favourite was shambala, then dragon Khan, but she was really surprised at the speed of furious baco
Thanks Catherine 😀 Furius Baco surprised me so much the first time I did it.
@@yourexperienceguide haha ye she said she felt like she was in a catapult
Thankyou great vlog v informative!
Thank you 😊
Great Vlog Scott, I haven’t been to PortAventura World since June 2019 and I’m especially missing my beloved Shambhala 😭
It may be time to book your next visit 😉
@@yourexperienceguide I agree
Enjoyed it Scott 👍
Thank you, I really enjoyed my visit :)
Great solo effort Scotty!
Thank you :)
Very informative, thanks!
Thank you 😊
Great vlog Scott
Thank you :)
Such a good park, been many times! I agree with Stampida and it being rmc’d
I think it would improve it significantly
Great solo vlog Scott 👏
Thank you 😊
Brilliant vlog mate
Thank you
YES! Just bring back the PTC trains!
Or even the GCI trains?
We went last week for a week and I have to say I didn't expect April to be summer level queues. We bought an unlimited fast pass our last day and got on Shambala over 20 times and that was the first time we'd ever caved and bought fast pass. It also sadly rained most of the time we were there so experiencing the park in wet weather was a new experience for us but still very enjoyable!
I've been at a similar time of the year before and it was so much quieter, I was very surprised by the crowd levels
@@yourexperienceguide we were too to be honest, we've always gone and stayed in Hotel El Paso (since it is all inclusive although not in April) and we went for a week and when we were at Ferrari Land Red force was 2 hours long and flying dreams was 3! We were totally surprised by this.
Great video!
Thanks!
That was a really good quality vlog you needn’t have worried. Really enjoyed. Interesting about the masks as thought it was so much stricter.
Thank you! I was very surprised by the change in covid protocols, it was completely different to November 2021.
Great vid, get me back there!
Thank you! I am missing it already
Amazing blog keep up the good work
Thanks Wayne
Great vlog 😃
Thanks
Great video mate thanks for much for the effort put into it. Liked and subbed. Could you perhaps do a video on top tips for first time visits for family's to Portaventura and it's water parks. We are going in mid July and would like to make most of our trips. Thanks again!
Thank you! That's a great video suggestion too.
Great Vlog Scott we need to get out there as our last trip was cancelled 😵💫
Thank you, hope you manage to visit
brilliant Vlog
Thank you Mike
Great Vlog! Glad that you didn't go on Furius Baco first because of a big line. Otherwise you would've regret it. But by the way, great vlog though! And hopefully you make more!
Thanks, I did do Furius Baco first but only because I had fast pass.
great vlog
Thank you
Cool
Thanks for watching
Hope you has a great time.
All my reviews are in the video thanks
Great vlog as always! Will you be going to Knutsford this year? I’m going myself on both Saturdays as its local and want to capture the fair at its busiest! Also the Fabbri Spinning Coaster from Tir Prince is making its travelling debut under new ownership
Thanks Charlie! I'm probably not going to get chance to do Knutsford as much as I'd have liked to do.
I think your so brave I couldn't go on my own I totally get these parks are very special
I’ve been on my own before but never vlogged on my own before, I’m pleased with the outcome 😀
Wow ur brave to go on ur own I could never do it because I'm autistic get anxiety why I am normally with someone when I go places. Great vlog btw
I’ve been on my own before, just didn’t vlog it like this. Thanks for watching
Not sure if it was you guys, but I was on the last dispatch of the big one toinight and I think I saw you guys by the hotel. Big fan keep it up
It was us I think
@@yourexperienceguide ah thought so, were you guys vlogging that day or not?
Really glad I watched this video now. I'm visiting the park next week; we're going on a family holiday but I'm the only theme park fan so will be visiting alone and have booked the 2 park 2 day ticket. I was a bit nervous but after seeing how good a time you've had I'm a bit less anxious. I'm considering getting the express pass, but I'm a bit anxious that I won't fit on some of the rides so worried about wasting my money. Do you have any advise on how to get the most out of my day(s) as a solo visitor?
Hi Andy, glad this has been helpful in some ways. Honestly I do recommend the fast pass, it will save you so much hassle with queue times.
Row 4 on Dragon Khan is my tip, you'll be ok getting on things like Furius Baco and Stampida I am sure. I do struggle a bit on Shambhala. Definitely watch the Can Can West show in the Far West Saloon.
Good job
Thanks
Thought you did amazingly well for a first solo vlog bud. Try getting Ant or Dec to go solo, they would be rubbish I bet! I really enjoyed seeing a more venerable side to your vlog, not that I am saying you are usually the opposite, I just thought it was great :)
Thank you, really appreciate your feedback :)
So yku fit on shambhala fine? There was one video i saw where you wa sturned away? Is that usual or rsndom?
The ride at 11:48 makes a noise when starting and stopping that sounds like the screaming woman in Barry Manilow's Copa Cabana song lol
Oh lol 😆
The only ride i missed on my only visit is baco... Like u said the Q's an this a fair empty day in may everything else was fine due to single rider Q's.
Is there any sign of a new coaster in the pipeline?
There’s a few rumours about new rides and lots of land clearance near the Far West steak house.
Just starting the vid Scott. and was wondering if the same applies to Bentley T-shirts as to ride/park merch....? I wouldn't wear merch if I had not ridden the ride or been to the park... I hope you have a shiny Bentley parked at home...🤣🤣🤣 (JK of course mate)
Well, I did work for Bentley for 8.5 years 😉 T-shirt was bought from the colleague shop on a discount, couldn’t resist at a tenner.
I have driven a lot of Bentleys over time.
I’m going in April (next month) what were the queues like?
I had fast pass because I was on my own
hi fella , where's the best place too buy tickets for this park??? cheers
Bought mine directly on their website
Hi Scott, is fast pass easy enough to use at Portaventura?
Hi, fast pass is as I showed it in this video, very easy
@@yourexperienceguide Many thanks for the reply
What time does it close
Closed at 6pm when I was there
@@yourexperienceguide do u know what time it would close at when it’s july
@@henryoconnor1788 Their opening times are on their website I think :)
Queued for 2 hours for Shambala then got kicked off for "Large" thighs. I'm not overweight I look after myself by training at the gym. Hey ho lesson learned. Ps do not take the test seat for granted. I fit in this perfect yet kicked off by the operator.
For future reference I recommend removing everything from your pockets. I know I’m chubby but back in my teen years I played sports most days and still have toned thighs from then so I struggle on it too.
Loved PV but it's in desperate need of investment, expansion and a lot of new rides. Especially for how busy it gets etc. It's no longer worth going imo. Ferrari Land doesn't count and it's a total flop. All that land used up and there's only one decent ride.
Ferrari Land seemed to be a large road block to the progression of PortAventura, there's talk that they are going to expand in that area first which would be a shame really.
@@yourexperienceguide Such a bad, bad investment. The main attraction is brilliant, but should've been built inside the park. Really bad idea all round. The rest of Ferrari Land is a complete waste of time.
Why the masks on coasters ??
Obviously a personal choice people are making
Awswome mate keep smashing it your knowledge and insight is really good not long until the Voyage.......👍🎢👍🎢
Thanks 👍 I am looking forward to The Voyage a lot.
