in the vein of this topic, and after my first visit to europa park over the christmas period, i had a similar thought after riding volton 11 times over two days. i came off wondering how much further we can push intensity. my thighs felt assaulted due to the aggressive ejector during the ride...

love all your pictures mate. on your original posts were you just using an iphone with a filter/app? if so, which iphone do you have and what app/filter was it? if not, what camera did you use for your initial posts?

top class photos mate, got me more excited for my visits to efteling, walibi holland, toverland (all first time) and phantasialand (second time) in october!

i also went. genuinely love it, it was a little busier than last year and missed out on a night ride on hyperion because went on zadra 3 times at night and couldn't pull ourselves away but that's on us. we all went in costume having gone last year and seeing how many people really go for it...

ok, here's mine then (still to do phantasialand for the first time in december for wintertraum): 1. zadra. 2. helix. 3. ride to happiness. 4. hyperion. 5. shambhala. 6. nemesis. 7. balder. 8. red force. 9. abyssus. 10. swarm.

worst park i've been to. experienced all the same sort of issues. been to liseberg halloween today and it's night and day in terms of enjoyment.

100% agree. i've not done as many parks as a lot of people but i've been to 6/7 and portaventura is the sole one that has pushed the fast pass idea to the limit - which as you say, artificially inflates those queue times. it's such a shame because if it was quote/unquote 'fair' i could see it...

i went a month ago for the first time and got one ride on every major coaster + one on red force + 2 on shambhala... ...because me and my partner bought the one ride on each big coaster fast pass. we were told it was really the only way and yeah, same experience as you, the line for baco...
