Firstly,I hate writing trip reports because I'm crap at it,but here goes.

The idea of this trip was to have 5 days in Spain,2 of which would be at the park.But after going out on the Friday night and getting totally smashed on Vodka,then not getting to bed until 3 am,we hit the following day at the park on the head.

Anyways,all that was to come,first we need to get there.

Very first port of call......Gatwick.

A bit of porn for the plane nerds. :lol:



This was our magical flying device.




These things are great,not only do they go along the ground,but if they run really fast flapping their wings,they go up in the air too.

See.


A couple of hours later,and we're in Spain. :--D

This is to be our home for the next 5 days.



And after doing some of this.



A hell of a lot of this.



And rather to much of this,(see above Friday night story).



We decided it was time to do this.



But first,a spot of breakfast.Yum



I guess this means we're here.



Aloha Polynesia.



How very scenic this place is.



Not wanting to see that breakfast reappear,we opted for a gentle start.

Yep,Tami-Tami.


Now,knowing I was in the same park as Dragon Khan,I just couldn't resist any longer.

Now I'm on the verge of an orgasm. :--D



This ride is so photogenic.



Absolutely awesome,it gave me that wobbly jelly legs kind of feeling afterwards.Fooking awesome.

We leave China,and head into Mexico.Now call me what you like,but nothing short of battering me senseless,and strapping me in unconscious is the only way to get me on this.



We walked rather hurriedly past Condor,and are greeted by El Diablo.

That's better.



Un-official on ride photo. :lol:



Our journey continues,and before we know it,we're in the Far West.Yee-ha.



Of course,whilst here,we popped over to see Stampida.



Not sure which side to ride first,we take a left,and hit the Red side.
Holy cow is this ride rough,I can now see what all the fuss is about,I'm sure at one point,it was trying to catapult me out the train.Very big ouch.

By now it's about 1 ish,so we stop for lunch at the fast food outlet right by Stampida,(can't remember the name) and I opt for the jumbo hot dog thingy.

With our stomachs nice and full,we head off.

With the sun blazing,and the heat rising,we really needed cooling down,so what better time to hit the water rides,first up,Silver River Flume.



Unfortunately,the three hotties in the back wern't with us,although the clingy wet t-shirts were a nice bonus. :lol:

Next.......Rapids.



Quite surprised at how fast these whip you round,but thought the course was rather short,and dispite the fountains,we hardly got wet at all.

So we just have to go the whole hog for soakage.



Now that's more like it.
Once again we decided to take a break,so we grab an ice cream,and watched some erotic dancing. :lol:





After the show,it was time to bag some more credits,so it was back into the Far West,first to ride Tomahawk,and then to sample Stampida Blue.

Blue definately is the better side,but still god awful rough.

I guess by now it's about 7 o'clock,and with the park closing at 8,we make a dash for Baco.





I'll admit,I wasn't really a fan of this.The launch wasn't bad,and I liked the in line twist,but it was much more rougher than I expected,and it really throw me around quite a lot.Plus it gave me a headache,and not even Stampida managed that. :lol:

With just enough time left,I just had to ride Khan again.Was really lucky to get there to catch the last train of the day.My one and only gripe is that I got very back row,and found it a tad rough,but nothing to take away the awesomeness of it.

So that was it.

When we arrived,there was massive crowds,and was expecting long queues everywhere.But what surprised me most,was by the time mid afternoon arrived,the park seemed to empty out.

Tami Tami was about 20 minutes.
Dragon Khan was about 30 minutes,and the second ride was walk on.
El Diablo was walk on.
Stampida Red was about 45 minutes,but it down break down for about 10 minutes,so it would have been quicker.
Log Flume about 30 minutes.
Rapids about 10 minutes.
Tutuki Splash about 10 minutes.
Then the park seemed to empty so...
Stampida Blue was 5 minutes,Red was walk on,and was dispatching with half empty trains.
Tomahawk was walk on
Baco about 30 minutes.
 
Well done! You agree with me pretty much 100%, and that means your pretty much 100% right :)

Glad you had a fab time, I'm not in a hurry to rush back to Port Aventura, but I really enjoyed the trip there. Khan was fabby fabby fabby and Baco was not so good at all.
 
Great report! Clearly the Bongo Warrior wannabes are not as good as the Flamingoland Bongo Warriors.

And it's funny I should read this report right now as I have really poisonous smelling farts this evening and the last time they were this gross was at PA!

All in all, a chuffing good read.

Yer, your farts gave me a sun tan, Phil!
OH NOES! I've morphed into furie! Hahaha, what a small penis I have.

I'd go back tomorrow if I had the chance.

I thought the place was marvellous,I was on a real high all day,although,that might have something to do with all the wacky baccy being smoked in the queues. :lol:

(Not by me of course)
 
Great trip report. Place looks so different with people in it lol.

I am not in a rush to go back, but would like to go back at a time of year when there are more people there.

Seems like you have the same view of the coasters that I had.
