Everything you ever wanted to know about La Creds de España (but were afraid to ask)
Q. What's Spanish for 'orgasm?'
A. Shambhala.
It's so floaty and awesome. The trains are really open and exposed. The only element that lets this coaster down is the sluggish 'Ampersand' turn. Which is a bit of a shame-bhala as it looks so cool off ride.
My first ride on it was at night - which made for a slightly less daunting lift-hill experience. Like all recent B+M's it had nice twinkly lights on the train <3 I rode in the back row and wasn't blown away at first, it felt labored going over the big hills.
The next day we begged the ride ops (in our politest British accents) to let us ride at the front. They have a bit of a Scam-bhala going on with charging people to ride in the front row. I settled for the second row in the end. It is a much more impressive coaster closer to the front, the airtime is lovely. It's not as good as Nitro though, because it doesn't have a tilted airtime hill or a dirty helix.
Q. What's Spanish for 'mountain covered in muck'?
A. Tibidabo.
Go on, touch your lap bar, I assure you your hand will be covered in dirt! This place hasn't seen a cleaner for quite some time. The mist managed to obscure some of the muck, thankfully.
The cred was red.
Q. Can we find another red cred on this trip?
A. Yes we Khan!
Dragon Khan really surprised me. I just wasn't expecting it to be that forceful or fun. The Zero-G is so snappy! Loved it.
I digress.
Back in Mucky Mountain land, what's Spanish for The Best Horror Walkthrough Ever Made?
A. Kruger Hotel.
Wow. I've done quite a lot of horror walk through attractions, but Kruger Hotel really takes the cake. It's properly themed to a hotel, you enter through lobby, go to reception, get greeted by the ghoulish assistant. Then get taken on an amazingly crafted tour of horrors finest characters - Freddy Krueger, Chucky, Jason Voorhees and many more; all nestled within amazingly detailed sets.
The rooms were large, allowing the actors to properly stalk their prey and build suspense. Freddy Kreuger rattled up and down distant platforms clanging his finger blades before breaking free to chase us - it built so much tension when you caught little glimpses of him and knew he was in the room somewhere.
The highlight of Kruger Hotel was Dracula, who quoted word for word from the book and waved his long crazy nails in everyone's faces. Before we entered Kruger Hotel, the members of PAC told the staff we were English so we got the Ignorant Tourist Edition, yay!
Speaking of which, what's Spanish for FAB?
A. PAC!
Such a fun group of people. It was a pleasure to sing and dance and stand by the glorious drains of Port Aventura with those guys <3 In fact, my fave Part Aventura of the whole trip was CF racing against PAC on Stampida.
Whilst I'm on that subject, what's Spanish for 'Awfully Rough Wooden coaster?'
A. Stampida. This is the bruise I have on my leg from it's completely non-banked turns, shoddy trains and uncomfortable restraints.
I nursed my battered body in the luxurious Port Aventura hotel. My first ever park hotel cred. I loved being able to walk straight from cred to bed in 2.5 seconds. Plus, the buffet had a brie-lliant cheese selection. It was well worth the money.
I wasn't expecting Port Aventura to be as great as it is. In true scientific fashion, I measured the greatness of the park by how many fairy lights it had at night:
10/10 - Fairy good!
(Sorry for posting a report on a trip ATTACKHAMMER has already reported. But I wanted to cover some points that weren't exclamation points)
