When did you go guys? I'm thinking of booking next week but after hearing about the operations it's putting me off going...
Can’t believe I saw you in the queue for shambhala, basically have saw you at most theme parks I go to for the past 9 years since I stated watching the channel
that's so lucky i've never got to see them but i've always been so close! for example i'm going to portaventura next week
Omg? Where were you at in the video??
@@andywain3263 find it lol
No wonder you saw them, seems like they were in the queue for ages haha
@@MrHardcoreJustic3 hours
You’re so right guys! Operations are so bad there and must have been horrendous in the heat. Can’t believe your enthusiasm. This channel makes my day and can’t believe your energy. You must take breaks guys, can’t believe your work ethic!!
Thank you so much
Work ethic? They travel the world riding rollercoasters, they are literally earning a living from enacting my dream.
Portaventura looks amazing!🤩Hope y’all have a good time!!
Thank you!
It is a shame that the operations are running so poorly. I would be frustrated to if that was happening in my case. I feel bad for you two. But besides that I hope you guys had a nice time!
Amazing to meet you in the queue to entering the park. Hope you had an amazing time!!!❤
Great to see you!
That Shahambala line wouldve had me in customer service to complain so quick😂😂😭😭
Knowing Port Aventura, they’d just ship you off in a rude way.
Portaventuras operations are always weird 😂 last year sometimes they were so good we had ten back to back rides on dragon Kahn, but we also spent an entire week failing to get on templo del fuego, once getting locked in the queue line 😭
They really need to sort it out!
Love the video from Day 1 guys, thank you very much. I would love to visit that park as looks awesome. Agree with the operations which was shambolic in places, but overall a bucketlist Park for me.!!
Thank you!
love this place and salou in general we used to go mid june when the park is open until midnight with firework display ( not sure if they still do that) last visited 6 yrs ago. only downside in the theme park was the local teenagers queue jumping but still its a fantastic place
Another amazing video, keep up the great work. I hope your enjoying your trip
Thank you for this Vlog, you've got me excited for my trip to Salou. Cannot wait to ride Shabby B and Uncharted
Thank you!
Just got back from a week staying at the Hotel Gold River. The park itself was good but the operations were so slow and the rides broke down frequently. Ferrari Land was underwhelming apart from Red Force but thankfully I didn't have to pay extra for it as it was included in my deal!
Another one of John wardleys Awesome creations,Dragon Khan is there 😮. Awesome Vlog Shawn & Charlotte. Seeing you guys together makes me happy, and honestly, it makes my day. ❤ I also loved the highlights from Divas
Thank you so much!
Looks a great park, hope you had a great time.
This is my first and only abroad park I’ve been to and it is such an amazing park! Just went to Blackpool yesterday and Valhalla was running no effects because it just broke down 😢😂
Love this park cant wait for tomorrow video thanks for taking us ❤ Lisa
Thank you
56:34 sounds like avengers flight force at Disneyland Paris, hardly any theming on ride there again but a good coaster base
Hey mate, Amazing vlog. I am glad that you raised the same issue with PortAventura and it's queue lines for Shambala. I agree i feel like they heavily prioritise express customers. We both understand that as they have paid extra they get priority, however i feel with every ride at Port that they don't run it fair like here in the UK. For example in the UK they do like 10 from fast track - 30 from main queue. At Port it was Express until the express queue was empty. I'm glad to see it wasn't just me that felt like that. Still doesn't stop me visiting PortAventura every couple of months. Excellent vlog.
Just but the express pass m8 :). I mean you're surely spending atleast 400 hours on traveling and hotels etc (if you don't live in the area) to visit the park. Why not spend another 100 euros and really enjoy the rides instead of standing in line all day?
They definitely need to do better!
@@RfdMusicOfficial Yeah mate next time I will be……I think the staff are just slow in general so yeah you have a very valid point tbh. Knowing the way it goes I will purchase the pass and then the park will have 0 queues 😂😂
Just got back from the park today. They definitely improved with operations. They always made sure not a single seat was missed and the trains were getting dispatched quickly. This is my new favourite park
That’s good to hear!
If I’m totally honest 💯 I must admit I live everyday for these amazing epic vlogs on so many levels learning about various apps food outlets riding park opening closing times travel transport the food options so much more to mention, with these very impressive global theme parks especially when you can where povs are permitted as safety is paramount as always however oh my days these on ride POVs are what I absolutely 👍 enjoy and love 💕 watching these the most with your funny 😆 humorous banter screams of delight excitement on some of these sheer crazy 😜 insane intense rides I’m totally loving it 😍 so much these vlogs really do your TPWW channel justice Port Adventura looks awesome 😎 Thank you for sharing
Thank you!
Wow, never seen anything like the trampoline show! That was amazing!
Great video! PortAventura is a great ride!
Uncharted looks great! I know the Thusies thought it looked tame, but they're generally not happy unless coasters are 900 foot tall 12 launch monsters. Looks like a great addition, and another reason to escape the heat.
It’s nice to have another indoor ride!
45:26 was on stampida about a week ago. It rides terrible..just like this video. Could be an awesome wooden coaster, but something needs to change. My head was pounding after coming off it!!😂
Shame about the operations but looked like it didn't dampen your spirits! Thanks for another lovely vlog both
Dragon Khan 🤩 my favourite ride in the park! Shambolic Shambala ops, such a shame, but such an epic ride. I always remember feeling very exposed on that lift hill, sitting on a little open seat with only a lap restraint. All part of the experience though 😅
Brilliant vlog
I just came back from here now the operations were much better than when you went but it is September only 30mins to 1 hour wait on shambala amazing place for me 😁
I felt the airtime on shambala.. had to watch it a few times 😍
The airtime is epic!
Hope you enjoy your trip ❤
Thank you
Awesome Video Guys
Shawn and Charlotte, I had the same problem with Shambhala back in April. Me and my partner joined the single rider queue after a bad experience the day before and when we joined the SR queue we pin pointed a group of girls to see how far they got in the main queue in comparison to us. Unfortunately they ended up on the same train as us, so our SR queue didn’t move much. So much queue jumping too. I’m not sure why the operations are poor on this ride and in other across the park but something needs to change! Otherwise, I love this park, it’s absolutely gorgeous!
Sorry to hear that
Its such a great place!
Thanks for the Divas show sneak peak !! Looks so cool and of course Shammy B
Thank you!
This must be the best job in the world. I like your videos btw, your coverage is really good and you both have a good energy so it's nice to watch.
It’s great fun visiting all of these theme parks!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Oh absolutely
I headed to portaventura today and the wait times honestly weren't too bad , furious bacu had a wait time of 1hr 30 but my friends went on express and were only 10 mins ahead of us , very oversold
I love Uncharted! It's one of my favorite video games.
the show looked absolutely fabulous! well done to them! it must be so much effort and it shows!
The shows are excellent!
I remember the Busch/Sea World company had a partnership with this park during opening season then sold off its share interest. It would be interesting how the park would be today with the Sea World/Busch company still had a partnership with the park today.
Hi lovelies thankyou for the port ventura blog went there when my son was 10 he's 38 now lol memories of him going on the bumping cars I think they were bills and we went into that Indiana type dark ride and all went well u till the kind of rope bridge we were stood on did that drop and my son was really frightened he would have run off if I had not had got hold of him the one thing that really stuck with me was the show went to see with the hoola girls in the grass skirts doing the dancing and the canoes sailing round when the guys came with them I love that music the girls were stunning and looked amazing we also saw the floats on the lakes but the jet guys were not part of it then we gad a great day xxxx
Thanks for sharing!
Great video - many thanks.
Just came back today from here today. Stampida, awesome coaster but rough, makes it fun though. Shambhala, thinking of trying this next time i go, i need to do big one first at blackpool! Uncharted, didnt go on as wait was too long or they didnt let amyone else on. Great theme park and great last few days
PortAventura World as an Amusement Park looks great with some great rides & theming throughout the park.
But they do definitely need to significantly improve the operations there so guests can have a much better enjoyable time at the park as paying customers.
In regards to operations at the park they need to get there act together & sort it out.
Great video as always. Funny thing about when i used to go to parks, we always knew we would wait at least an hour because they were always packed with people and we didnt once mention the word "operations" lol. Just knew when its crowded you wait. Also never looked for theming either. Mind you this was a thousand years ago and we weren't you tubers, just wanted to ride.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We knew the park would be busy, however most parks would be able to deal with the crowds better with solid operations!
Im still waiting for the day i finally meet you both. When i visit parks its always a couple days before or a couple of days after
I was there a day before you came and I got 6 night rides of shambala because it was not bussy in the evening at all
I guess the majority of the budget for Uncharted went on obtaining the IP license from Sony.
Definitely
Stampida looked rough here! It’s funny to think I had to take my rucksack on with me when I rode it and needed to hold on to my water bottle as we were going round as it was slipping out of the side compartment 😬😅
Oh my, those queues. I've been to port aventura a couples of times and experienced my fair share aswell, for example a 3 hour wait for Furious Baco as the first ride of the day :D. Or 2 hours for Huracan Condor. However, this comfirms my theory that one simply has to get express passes when visiting Port Aventura, I will for sure get them the next time!
We went for Express the next day as you’ll see in the vlog!
I love it when you get pissed off and break this family friendly facade
We’ll always be honest in our videos, however they’ll remain family friendly!
I like how the water slide behind Uncharted is in just the right place that it looks like a little hut on the top of the cliff.
I was at Port Aventura for the opening week of Uncharted June 17th, it's a fantastic ride I'm sure you'll love it, while this ride had huge queues for that opening weekend overall I felt an improvement with operations across the park apart from one bad day where the park was mobbed with teenagers for some kind of local school holiday but the majority of 4 days we visted all the major rides stayed under an hour apart from that one day. Had my little 5 year old with me this year and he's turned into a little thrill seeker loved all the coasters he was tall enough to go on (just over 1.2m) he even got 2 Tatuki Specials but he wanted really Red Force, Shamabala and Furious Baco. Promosied to take him back in a few years when he he's tall enough to go on everything.
Thanks for sharing!
I was in portaventura a little over a week ago I'm back home I really miss it I miss my hotel and everything really I loved the waterpark and red force red force was my fav
Hi shawn and Charlotte sorry the operations were awful. Looks like a nice park. Seems to me it needs someone like universal to come in and make it amazing. Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx ps on a positive it's great you can film on rides.
Think you're right about Uncharted...to many dark spots and not enough physical sets. However, an indoor family coaster was needed at PA. I'm still looking fwd to giving it a few rides this year though.....these ops better pick up by then!
It’s nice to have a new indoor ride at the park!
indoor coasters are great. I think Cosmic rewind by vakoma at epocot is very underrated, its such a fun coaster to ride.
I loved cosmic rewind one the best coaster experiences I've ever had . Xxx
been to port adventura a few times years ago but havnt experienced shambala and cant wait to. I am however a bit disappointed on the staffs lac of co ordination with the loading and unloading process and lac of splash . good video guys eep it up
I do love the roar of dragon Khan 🐲🐉💖 the park looks, good capacity shame about quetines and ops but yeah it's, a fab park glad you had a great time 🎉
You sound like Ric Flair when you’re on them rides 😆 Love it 😆
Shambhala is amazing. My number 2 coaster.
I kind of wish that some of the money spent on Uncharted was spent on the actual ride theming I was expecting a ride through a detailed temple when I saw the outside and the que
PortAventura has not just bad operations but it's just poorly managed all round. Connect the two parks together up the price of the main ticket by about €8-€10. Limit fast track to one ride only not unlimited! Those are a few things I would do!
Sadly so
Damn, I was there recently. 3 weeks before the opening of Uncharted. Wish I could have taken a ride on this thing, but at least the operations at Shambala were better and waiting times were decent. Can´t have it all, right? Great vlog guys!
It was good to get back on Shambhala and of course experience the new ride!
Nice video from both of you, Chessington WOA was like this on the weekend both myself and my friend visited the park with both Dragons Fury & even at times throughout day Jumanji's Mandrill Mayhem being shut, causing loads of bad queues. Also, my friend didn't like the app & I agree with him, think they really still need a second train on that via somehow a transfer track and second station? Aswell long queues or a new another coaster or attraction added in park? Especially as Vampire was in end on 80 minutes, Cobra on 60 minutes aswell other rides & attractions at same times, either a new coaster added at the park in place of Dragons Fury as keeps braking down, a second train on Mandrill Mayhem somehow? Another new ride / attraction in World of Jumanji? Or add more trains on all rides & coasters in park to deal with busy queues or have fast passes lowered priced as saw one with £10.00 per fast track there, bit expensive if for each ride which I think it was? But with this park, which compared to Merlin is more International is a disgrace, especially doing a me from Ride Sims, letting loads of empty seats go to waste, thats 100% a joke. Fill them up, especially with loads of people waiting two hours for a ride, absolute joke 100%. I think Chessington did that aswell? Empty seats on some rides? Uncharted, theming on outside looks ok, think could do with a little bit more theming, but inside maybe with queues, space them out a bit & make it less cramped. Maybe yeah add more theming inside to add to the story? Shame on Stampida, can imagine it being rattly, went on Grand National years ago, that was a 100% bone shaker, didn't reride again throughout our day, it was that bad, decided nope. Might ride it again if visit Blackpool? But well see, but from what I saw from this video, if you say it needs a retrack and new trains, I agree. I mean trains don't look that comfortable anyways, would love to see new trains a.k.a the ones you mentioned. Nice video & vlog, really enjoyed and look forward to seeing more & day two vlog soon. Cheers. 😀👍
Thanks for sharing!
So sorry to see how poorly Shambhala was being operated, I got a walk on last year from the single rider queue! It reminds me of my experience queuing for Ride To Happiness at Plopsaland de Panne last year when there were 5 minute dispatches, meaning I got in the queue at about 3:30PM and didn't get off the ride till after park close.
😊
😅
Plopsaland indeed has HORRIBLE operations, prices and lack of quality. Ride To Happiness is also quite overrated imo
Love your vids. Keep up the good work🙂
Thank you!
28:13 Even on Oblivion at Alton Towers your not sat on the break run for that long and it feels like your waiting ages so waiting over 10 minutes must have felt like ages.
I was here yesterday and made the mistake of going on a Sunday. I didn't want to wait two hours for the big rides so only managed Uncharted. Loved the ride but had no idea the queueline would take 1hr 20mins because it looked so short outside the building. Everyone in the queue were exhausted in the heat with one man laying into the staff shouting. We missed the firework lake show because it Uncharted broke down and took so long. Very disappointed but hoping today will be a better day.
Sorry to hear that
I’m so excited, love every bit of these trips and been tuning in since 2019
Thank you!
Uncharted looks really good! Shammy b’s ops though 😢
If Universal were to buy the park, and then cut a deal with Ferrari Land to merge the two parks together, that would be amazing. I mean, completely unrealistic, but one can always dream, can't one?
It’s certainly possible!
On a vacation to Porta for 2 weeks, have to say that im not that dissapointed about the operations. Sometimes operations stall a bit but i feel like they do go for capacity. I might be going on the best days though i have no idea.
Uncharted the actual game is about the adventures of archeologist Nathan Drake and his trials to get artifacts at great danger. He often goes into very hostile situations with often mercenaries trying to kill him. The games take us from the deserts of the Middle East, the jungles of Cambodia, even to Persia. Honestly the ride would fit quite well into the mythos as Nathan would go pretty much anywhere to get the artifact.
Honestly the closest real life counterpart is Josh gates right now. Josh often ventures into hostile territories to find the truth about ancient civilizations. He had a heck of a time in Cambodia trying to recover Kamir artifacts which are still lost. He also was in Africa just before the civil war broke out, he was looking into the lost mummies of Egypt of one particular period in history.
Thanks for sharing!
Everyone should have an engagement year of world travel doing the thing they love.
I lived your US travels
Thank you!
28:31, It’s like the Spanish version for the operations over at Laugh Track in Hershey Park😂
Amazing Vlog Shawn did a great job and the Uncharted Ride Look Great along with the pov even if it was dark for most of it but i got to say who ever was riding in the same coaster with you and charlotte on Uncharted they were super Annoying and really silly
Thank you!
Ahh I just came back from portaventura 2 days ago and it was my first time, also my first time in any rollar coaster! So of course I went on Shambhala first😂 I miss it so much , I also went on uncharted spoiler free and I absolutely loved it , bit claustrophobic in the Que but it was worth it. Also stampeda broke down just as it was my turn but it started again about 30 minutes later 🤣 definitely will return
I love the stampida 😢 it's so fun
I will spend one day at the both parks in October. It is gonna be my first ever visit, but we dont have much time in Barcelona, so I only have one day. I am really happy that I am able to ride another new for 2023 Coaster (The other New Coaster was Eat my Dust at Walibi Holland). I am also really happy to ride Furius Baco, Red Force and Shambala for the first time😊
39:00 the music in the show was really good and the acts were amazing
It was epic!
Just went last week. First visit and wow shambala is incredible. Uncharted was good but as you said it was too open rather than seeming like a more linear story coaster
Shambhala is beautiful!
Soooo crazy interesting this big beautiful theme park wil be a new universal park resort soon , so much patents have been made and confirmed, expansions too with harry potter ,mario, Jurassic park and more , hotel resorts and brand new city shopping entertainment center area too. I wonder of the big news be said on new years !!!
We were there on the Friday and agree operations were terrible.
One thing of note, the amount of queue jumpers! Way more than any other park I've been to. Never saw anyone attempt to stop them all day aside from myself & partner. Are queues just not a thing in Spain?
Unfortunately queue jumping is always a big issue here!
We went to PortAventura last summer, one week before the holidays. It was crowded with school classes und and the queues were even more full with 2+ hours on Shambala, Dragon Khan and Furious Baco. Believe me when I say I loved the rides and the theming of the park, but waiting for so long in 35°C really destroyed our whole experience. My boyfriend doesn't even want to visit anymore even though we have a free entry from our Europa Park pass lol
I really enjoyed watching the vlog but I'm rather happy, that I'm not the one standing in those loooong long queues again. Hope they fix this at some point!
They really need to sort out the operations here
Brill video. But that was a shambles getting on Shambala. 😁😁😄😃😄😄😁
Uncharted very great ride !!! Absolutely fun. Portaventura best park ❤
This is like my normal day at any theme park as I can only go in school holidays… 😢
Got me fingers crossed that project horizon a coaster like uncharted 🤞
Great Day One Vlog from PortAventura World Shawn and Charlotte, it’s a real shame about the operations at the park.
Thank you. They really need to do better!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide you’re welcome and I 100% agree with you
I remember watching the last construction video and thinking.. “how is this opening soon with barely anything inside”
Now we know why!
Love dragon khan
Nice vlog as always. PortAventura are having a laugh with those operations... what good are great coasters when it's all hampered like this? It's like getting a Porsche as your taxi/Uber, but then the driver is driving like a snail...
That’s a great way of putting it!
Glad that you are honest in your views 15:00
We always will be!
Going this June, lets hope the Operations improved... and possibly a little themeing to Uncharted
Going here and Ferrari world on Saturday for a very last minute holiday because we booked it today and going on Saturday so I am seeing what rides I will go on lol
This is my personal favourite theme park hoping to get on uncharted this year the sad thing is they used Tom Hollands version of nathan drake in the que line instead of the video game version cant wait to get back on dragon Khan as well my favorite ride.
When I went to portaventure park a couple week’s ago on shambalaand the dispatch time was 1 minute to 1:30 so I think it depends on the operator
I’m going here in august while we are in Spain we are also going to butlins Skegness just before and I was watching that as this popped up 😂
Have a great time!
Cynic in me says these are purposefully slow ops to inflate queue times to sell more express passes. Wouldn’t surprise me, and it looks like it worked 😁
