Porta Ventura Theme Park, Salou

PortAventura had been on my to do list since before the name change the other year. I already knew about it when it was still known as Universal Mediterranea. This old name gives away who the owners of the park are. The park renamed PortAventura belongs to the Universal Studios people, the ones that bring you the parks in Orlando and Los Angeles as well as over in Japan. PortAventura, on the outskirts of the small Spanish tourist town of Salou, is ...
...park celebrated its 10th anniversary and it's growing stronger each year. Getting to the park is easy, there are on site hotels plus a huge number of hotels just outside the perimeter fence. If you check on the internet and research your hotel, most will actually give you distance from the hotel to the park entrance, some hotels even have free shuttle busses for their guests that drop off and pick up at certain times of the day. Outside the main ...

Now imagine all of the above rolled into one for the perfect holiday!!!!! I went on holiday to the universal Mediteranean Resort ...
...it was the best holiday I have ever had, to the extent that we are now going there for my 18th birthday and my mum's 40th birthday, which coincidentally fall on the same day (I was born on my mum's 22nd birthday, what were the chances of that). The Theme Park... The theme park is split into five sections, Mediteranea; Polynesia; China; Mexico and the Wild West. Mediteranea is the traditional spanish entrance to the park with few rides but great ...

Review of Porta Ventura Theme Park, Salou

In August of this year my husband and our 2 kids, my son aged 14 and my daughter aged 9 went to Salou for our summer holidays. Salou is very big and noisy with plenty to do, not for someone looking for a quiet holiday. We had a wonderful holiday but the definite hightlight was PortAventura Theme Park. It way exceeded my expectations. I never thought a theme park could be so much fun. Before we went over to Spain we were advised to purchase our ...
...to do it and there are always special deals on the tickets here. We managed to get 4 7 day tickets for the price of 3. We were so glad we did this as the tickets were so much dearer over there and you also had to queue to buy the tickets whereas we were able to straight into the park without queueing. The theme park itself is only a 10 minutes bus ride from the centre of Salou and the buses are very regular and cheap, although I think it is a competition ...

Review of Porta Ventura Theme Park, Salou

Went to port aventura last year(2006) on holiday, this park has the potential to be as good as disney paris if they keep adding and updating. The rides were good, Dragon Kahn fantastic and a must i also dared to brave hurrakan condor which wasnt as bad as it looks so be brave and get on it. If you stay in a portaventura hotel you get fast past onto the big rides to use once so basically you walk straight onto the rides, this comes in when it is ...
...another day just in case it gets too busy. If you have children and are small they need to be good at walking as theres lots of it and hills. We didnt watch any of the shows as they were all in spanish and no transellation headphones like disney do which is a real shame. I would reccoment this to families especially if you like rides also if its a cheaper version of disney not as good but still worth going for the price you pay you can't complain ...

We have been to this themepark many times our most recent visit being june 2006. Admission Price: Because we stayed on site at one of their hotels admission for us was free to this park and the water park which is right next door. At the moment Portaventura has a 14 day ticket prices at £52 adult, £42 child or A 7 day ticket for the price of 3 days £46 adult, £37 child. You can get these tickets from the portaventura website. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...
...theme park which is very close to the Spanish resort of Salou. The park is split into 5 areas: Mediterrània Polynesia China México Far West Each area has its own themed rides and shops related to the land your in. This makes the park easy to navigate as you walk round the lands in a circle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rides: This is a lovely theme park with plenty of rides to choose ...

Port Aventura is a really good day out. It has rides for all ages, even gentle rides that are ok for wimps that are scared of rides like my sister-in-law! We bought a pass that allowed us to just the queue once for each of the big rides, it was worth the money! ...

Review of Porta Ventura Theme Park, Salou

I went to Portaventura early september, I brought a weeks pass but only went there two days. The rides are nothing special, Alton Towers is much better. The park doesnt get that busy unless its peak season and food is pretty poor quality. The only real good thing about the park is travel is easy on train and the water rides also the only trill ride i'd say is good and worth a special visit to is there version on the PlayStation ride (now called ...
...you do so dont bother getting a pass thats longer then a day. You will just waste money. Also big tip........ WATCH OUT FOR THE MOSSIE BITES at the train station. Overall i'd say worth a look if you have children up to 16 years old otherwise dont bother. ...
