PortAventura do not bother with decent queuelines. I noticed this when I visited in 2009 - the majority are literally a roof over a cattle pen.
It's a shame, because they could do some really story based/well themed queuelines but they shy away from it. Not sure why, as PA is a pretty good park for "area theming". Yet queue lines and on ride theming tends to be limited.
Woah! Worlds most hideous queue? Possibly. I can't imagine waiting to ride that is any fun at all. If ever there was an advert for paying for fast track tickets, that queue would be it!
At least that queue will move quickly. It's a combination of being not very nice and slow moving that putts me of Rita's queue.
Was anyone else shocked by the MCBR. Talk about fast, it flies straight through it. I swear it's going to fast to actual stop the train if it needed to. Then again I can't imagine they will ever need it given the ridiculously long finale break run. What is it with B&M and long break runs lately? At first I thought it was just the Wingriders but now I've noticed all their new rides have an excessive amount of breaking space.
I think I said a while back when I went and had a look at Shambhala, the queue line was literally a roof with zig zags. However I am suprised that you guys are suprised by it!...In PA staff do nothing about queue jumpers, nor do they care about what is going on in the queue line (generally) So it would make no sense for PA to create an expensive, expanse of a queue line, when it is far easier, to give a ruler and pencil to a todler and see what is created on an A4 sheet of paper!
I am so looking forward to this! (apart from the queue)
I'm going to PA for the first time at the beginning of july, does anybody have any idea of how busy the park would be around this time? as it is before the british school holidays, and i was going to go to the park on a weekday not weekend.
Kmh89, I have been many times to PA throughout the year, and July, I am afraid will be fairly busy, because they have many, many Spanish school children doing day trips.
As long as you get ahead of them at the start of the day, i.e. bypass Furius Baco first thing, then you will be fine.
The school kids offer a huge problem at PA because the spanish seem to struggle with the terminology behined the word 'queueline'...so when you see a queue, add an extra third of guests into the queue line, because they are sure to invite the entire coach infront of you, and the staff will not do anything!
So expect Shambhala's easy pickings queue line to be a haven for Spanish school kids all doing the Olympic Hurdles!
So expect 60 minute queues for most rides and 2 hours for Furius (in the morning) however after 3, they all start to leave and then most rides will be 10 minutes or less! Hope that Helps!
