Just as a reminder, Chessington’s consultation is today, and the first one is in half an hour. The information should be online here before too long: https://www.cwoa-consultation.com/ I’ll be interested to see what the park reveals!

Based on that, am I correct in thinking that it will cross the Perimeter Road in some capacity? That could be quite cool!

It seems like the WWMNT methodology you invented in one of your previous trip reports was pretty accurate in the case of Shambhala; I absolutely loved it! I was told previously that Templo del Fuego was historically quite a rare one to see operating, but having done some further research since...

It’s unused land between Valravn and Millennium Force, apparently. This came out of left field! The fact that we didn’t even hear a jot about this through the rumour mill before the announcement is incredibly unusual… It looks like a brilliant coaster, and very different to anything else...

I have a couple of possibly unpopular opinions following my recent visit to Spain, where I visited PortAventura for the first time: PortAventura’s operations, queues and Express Pass usage are really not that bad, on the whole - I’d hesitate to call the park’s operations fast or exceptional by...

Out of interest, is there a notable percentage of the American electorate that believes in conspiracy theories or something? I only ask because I’ve noticed that Donald Trump seems to spout unfounded conspiracy theories all the time (in the recent Kamala debate alone, you had things like...

Congratulations @Benenen!

Congratulations @Serena!

Congratulations @Bentleya! You also seem to have hit 200 very quickly; am I right in remembering that you only hit 100 earlier this year?

PortAventura: An Overall Review and Trip Summary Right, then; I’ve now landed back in the UK, done all of my post-trip spreadsheet stuff, and just about recovered from the journey home! Spending 4 hours waiting in Barcelona Airport and arriving back in Bristol Airport at 1am to temperatures of 6...

I have another question @Hixee; would Templo del Fuego at PortAventura be classified as an “Water/Dark/Flat/Other Atraction” or a “Show”?

12th September 2024: PortAventura Park Day 3 It was our final day in PortAventura Park today before heading home! We weren’t really able to have a full day today, as we had to be out of the park by 3:30pm to catch our shared transfer back to Barcelona Airport to fly home, but we nonetheless...

Date: 11th September 2024 Park: PortAventura Park Roller Coasters: 9 (3x Shambhala, 1x Dragon Khan, 1x Tami-Tami, 1x Furius Baco, 1x Stampida Red, 2x El Diablo) Front/Back/Solo/New-To-Me: 5 (1x New-To-Me, 2x Front, 2x Back) Water/Dark/Flat/Other Attractions: 1 (1x Street Mission) Shows: 0 New...

11th September 2024: PortAventura Park Day 2 and Ferrari Land We had our second day today! Today, we headed back into PortAventura Park for another day of fun, and also headed into Ferrari Land to get on Red Force for the first time! Similarly to yesterday, we entered via the Gold River hotel...

@Hixee Sorry if this is potentially a stupid question, but if we ride in the front/back car of a B&M Hyper with staggered seating, but in the part of the car that isn’t the very front/back, does it count as front/back?

Templo del Fuego was actually open yesterday! Given how rare it apparently is to see it open, I thought I might like to give it a go at some point while we’re here. Out of have interest @Howie, what actually is it? I was under the impression it was some sort of show, but people were queueing...

Date: 10th September 2024 Park: PortAventura Park Roller Coasters: 10 (1x Uncharted, 3x Shambhala, 1x Stampida Blue, 1x Stampida Red, 1x Tomahawk, 1x El Diablo, 1x Dragon Khan, 1x Furius Baco) Front/Back/Solo/New-To-Me: 9 (1x Front, 8x New-To-Me) Water/Dark/Flat/Other Attractions: 2 (1x Tutuki...

10th September 2024: PortAventura Park Day 1 Today was the day, folks; our first day inside PortAventura Park! I couldn’t wait to get inside, ride attractions like Shambhala for the first time, and just generally see what the park had to offer for the very first time! Now before I start this...

We’re currently stood waiting outside the Hotel Gold River back entrance. We’re actually thinking of scoping out Uncharted when we initially enter, as it’s near to our entrance and the throughput is apparently poor, but Shambhala is certainly high on the hit list, and I imagine it’ll probably be...
