Park with Worst Fanboys?

oriolat2 said:
I think this topic should take another route and discuss what are the worst fanboys by country.

In Spain, PA fanboys can be a bit of a pain in the ass. Most of them haven't even visited parks outside of Spain yet they feel that their park is up to the best standards. Well, no.

Out of the other big Spanish parks, I find the arguments people use to defend a dying park like Terra Mítica ridiculous. Llike, the place is a **** dump.

Poor souls, those PA fans. The park is nice, but the operations are probably the worst and most absurd of all that I have so far visited...
 
^ Or just about any Asian park? All I'm saying is that their operations aren't quite up to the standards set by most (I can imagine there being some that are worse, so let it rain) of the other European parks. But I guess it's just us Europeans being spoiled with good operations (although I've been quite lucky with throughput in the handful of US parks I have so far visited).
 
^ I've heard the operations in Japan are quite a lot slower than in Europe (apart from Disney and Universal, I guess). I haven't read a trip report from Korea in a long while, so I'm leaving them out of discussion. And I guess it's basically these 3 countries that are the most talked about when it comes to coasters and yet I a lot of people seem to complain about the operations being rather slow and awkward when compared to the amusement parks in the West...
 
China has poor operations but the rest are fine.

Europe's operations aren't actually that great, America's are by far and above the best.

But then PA does have good operations, especially compared to some other European parks, so I'm not really sure about your point.
 
Unwilling to do what exactly?

That doesn't mean they have bad operations necessarily. They usually run a decent number of trains and get them out quickly.

In Europe multiple trains and quick dispatches aren't actually as common as they are in the States.
 
I agree with Erol, my experience with PA operations is that they are sloooooow and this is exasperated by terrible guest behaviour.

Everytime I've visited PA I've had fantastic operations. Rarely see stacking and always multiple trains. Not as good as Asterix, their operations on the day we visited a couple of months ago were the best I've ever seen in a park.

Ben and Lofty, Erol and Joey are right.

PA used to have good operations in its first years and when it was under Universal management. Ever since the Italians took over, their greedy minds only think on ways to make lines move slowly so you have to buy the Express pass. Shambhala doesn't run 3 trains unless there's like 40,000 guests in the park (a handful of days per season) and even then their stacking is beyond crazy. And don't get me started on Khan; it hasn't seen 3-train operations since 2013 or so.
 
You're impossible to please with operations though xD

The thing is, and the point I was trying to make, is PA's operations are actually still some of the better in Europe - they're better than Merlin's, for example.

Apart from obviously Disney, Europa and Asterix, no European parks really do that great a job.
 
Disney, Magic Mountain, Cedar Point, Californias Great America, Alton Towers, Thorpe, Hershey, and thats some of the easy ones.
