i just know your intro is going to make me nostalgic in like 5 years its so perfect.

[@X_Canine]

5 months late lets go

[@specter2451]

Thanks so much for the awesome and thoughtful ranking of one of my top bucket list parks. Your continued devotion to SFOG Goliath (one of my favorite coasters of all time) fills me with so much joy!

[@morganmcmahon3021]

Sorry to hear/see about what happened at this park with the terrible operations and Jesiah’s phone getting destroyed from Stampida, but seems like you guys still had a great time there😃 Hmmm I think I’d definitely really enjoy Dragon Khan as inversions are the elements I love on roller coasters or Shamballa. Furius Baco looks really good as well

[@MattMcIrvin]

I had a real feeling of "there but for the grace of God" when I saw that video. I ended up just barely jamming everything into my zippered jacket pockets, which with Stampida's lapbar was not comfortable.

[@morganmcmahon3021]

@@MattMcIrvin Ooof sorry about that. Hopefully they can build places to store loose articles if enough people can come forward and share their experiences. Then again, I’m not sure how they handle these kind of issues at Spanish theme parks. I kinda want to see a video where Marc just rants about this park’s operations and how Universal should probably buy them out. But aside from that, good roller coasters

[@sana.4.a]

@@MattMcIrvinyou can keep a small backpack when riding stampida

[@michael7054]

Great video! The top 2 at this park is incredible! I'm looking forward to the next video!

[@MattMcIrvin]

I visited PortAventura this spring. It was before Uncharted opened, and I was even more time-constrained than you were, so the only coasters I hit were Shambhala, Dragon Khan, Stampida and El Diablo. I thought Dragon Khan would have been a perfect ride if I'd been in my twenties. As it is, it's just a bit... too much. The final corkscrews did me in--I had to have a good long rest after riding it. Shambhala is just a wonder, a nearly perfect hyper. The only thing it lacks is a punchy ending, with that MCBR almost at the end--for that one reason I'd rate it slightly below SFNE's Superman as hypers go. But it has the best first drop I've ever ridden, the theming and aesthetics are beautiful, and the unique "ampersand" turnaround and the speed hill after are terrific. It's definitely the park champ for me, though I didn't ride Red Force or Furius Baco. El Diablo, I thought was a solid family ride. Bear in mind that the only other Arrow Mine Train I've ridden (I don't think Disney's BTMR is one) is Hersheypark's Trailblazer, and it's definitely a cut above Trailblazer. The swooping finale is great. I hear a lot of Europeans describing Stampida as unbearably rough, but I didn't find that at all. It might not be the most intense woodie I've ridden but it was fun. I like that, unlike many racing coasters, it seems to *always* race. My one complaint there is also a warning: there are NO bins on Stampida's platforms for stowing loose articles, so figure out some other strategy before you ride that one.

[@IsleofPigsStudios]

You know… I wonder what an RMC at the park would be like

[@Coastersnoot]

Redo of stampida

[@Haazza]

Stampida as an RMC would be amazing

[@Haazza]

@@TimeWarperr-nq4sbI already think it’s top 3 as I’m happy getting fastrack for such a high quality experience in other areas. If universal takes this park over and improves the themeing on uncharted, RMC’s Stampida, adds a world class dark ride and runs the park like a universal park in terms of operations, policies and food, then I think it could be a contender for best park in the world

[@Haazza]

@@TimeWarperr-nq4sb hmm Ferrari land doesn’t really add much to the resort apart from red force imo😁

[@huntzzio]

uGhHhHghHghhGghGhhGhhhHh people can stop

[@AmusementProductions.]

What a beautiful park!

[@markhutchison8343]

Thanks for the video. Going here in May. Can't wait to get back on Shambala. And to introduce my daughters to great coasters

[@joaospegiorin7840]

Went to PortAventura in January and got to ride everything in both parks without the fastpass. Got to ride Shambhala almost 10 times, my favorite ride there!

[@OriginalJoe]

The flute music totally works with this vid

[@hydrx9421]

i went to portaventure 3 years in a row from 2013-2016, went on shambhala a total of 28 times 😂 i wish ferrari land was open at the time would’ve loved to try out the new rides, but the classics were all great

[@stepsgaming]

I remember watching World's Greatest Rollercoaster Thrills in 3-D after I already had the America's version. I remember Dragon Kahn being in that video. I'd like to ride Dragon Kahn someday

[@jordigutierrez7214]

I have visited Port Aventura many years and tomorrow i will be in that Park yes i have rided El Diablo tren de la mina Dragon Khan Furius Baco Stampida and Shambhala but i havent rided Uncharted and Red Force probably i will ride this weekend and yes my favourite rollercoaster of that park is Shambhala i like a lot the view and the skyline and the camelbacks. But i havent visited Ferrari Land this weekend i will visit

[@afonsobongo6228]

"It's not that Stampida was rough or uncomfortable" This is literally the roughest ride Ive ever been on. And it was very, very, very rough

[@CoasterDash]

Interesting. I didn’t feel that way at all.

[@breadonyourbed3761]

Agreed, one of the worst woodies i have ever been on

[@afonsobongo6228]

@CoasterDash damn, jealous. This is by far the worst woodie I've been on. And I've been on Bandit.

[@CivilianSatellite]

I was going to comment on how I pretty much agree with the rankings save for the top 2, but then I remembered how much I vastly prefer coasters like Kingda Ka, TTD, and Formula Rossa in the front row versus any other row, and yeah, I totally get how a front row Red Force can supersede Shambhala.

[@gilbertceballos8674]

Sold! I'm flying to Atlanta next month!

[@Coastersnoot]

This is my favourite park ever! Thanks for doing the ranking, not a lot of people do portaventura content so I appreciate it! Ima enjoy this video like all your other ones! I would just disagree with number 2 and 1, I would swap them around.

[@pericogames]

My favorite youtouber in my favorite park(it's my home park,)

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

We are literally there today!!! Hope operations have improved

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

Single line on uncharted was 20 mins main q was 1hr 30. Shammy B q was 30 mins and ops were ok actually... crowds are mid to low

[@JavinManfield]

I wish the uncharted coaster was more heavily themed

[@CoasterDash]

Same

[@adammills8087]

Red Force does look great, and is one of my top bucket list coasters in Europe, along with Ride to Happiness, Taiga, Batman Gotham City Escape, Hyperion and F.L.Y.. While Shambhala seems like a really good coaster, I love the fact that you prefer Goliath at SFOG over it. As I've mentioned before, Goliath is my favorite B&M hyper as well. I was able to get quite a few rides on it just last week since it was a walk-on the whole time I was at the park.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

I remember that.

[@StamfordBridge]

You often have coaster opinions that feel roughly close to mine, but your ranking of Shambhala (against the other coasters in its park, and among all B&M hypers) is the biggest discrepancy I can remember. I was blown away by Shambhala and for me it’s a worldwide top ten coaster.

[@CoasterDash]

It’s an incredible ride! I can’t blame you.

[@SeaWorldOrlandoandmore]

I am a little disappointed that they went with Intamin instead of vekoma for uncharted. Imagine if it was something like guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind. It would have much more theming opportunities and have a much better layout.

[@ToastGhost]

While we seem to heavily disagree Furious Baco a front row ride on Red Force is like nothing else I've ever experienced. It's my far and away number one after my visit this year, sorry Nemesis.

[@markgiovando5469]

Hello from Spain, Portaventura is my home park and I prefere Shambhala over red Force, and if you like intense lonches, you habe furius baco. Ober all, grate video

[@arturobianco848]

Well i did it last year so the newest one is unfamiliar for me and since i basicly hate this park for its policy's (no operations can be this bad without it being intentional. Coupled with the riduculus amount of people they let in and often exclusivly gets you front row with a fast pass.) i don't think i will ride it any time soon. Having said that if you never been there you really need to go its really a very beautifull park with some nice coasters. 1 Shamballa (they had a very short single riders lane so i enjoyed a few good rides on this one). 2 Dragon Khann ( i had some really good rides and some rough ones i think it was the different trains. Also except for the fast lane passes the operations here where decent.) 3 red force (these coasters are just a one trick pony for me but i have to admit a very nice one). 4 furious backache, them that thing was so rough in the back its wasn't much fun and i wasn't going to stand inline for another 2 hours. Still a better coaster then the avarge filler. 5 the rest aren't really good enough to rank.

[@wagenna]

Interesting, I prefer Shambhala over Red Force, but I enjoy Furious Baco as well! I haven't ridden Uncharted yet, but will do so next year most likely.

[@VelocicoasterFanboy]

[@Ihatethoosies]

Furius Baco is the best ride at the park

[@CoasterDash]

I can respect that!

[@Goliath146]

I figured red force would be number one it’s the tallest ride there

[@Goliath146]

@@TimeWarperr-nq4sb I agree with you but it’s his opinion so I can’t blame him for it

[@arturobianco848]

@@TimeWarperr-nq4sb You have now, i happen to agree with you but then i'm not that impressed by that kind of coasters. If the cue is short enough they are loads of fun but its essential just a launch and a drop. Now if they had some ride in it after that they would move up a lot for me.

[@pablofernandezlopez5192]

I live in Spain and I really agree with you . Though I would prefer if Red force had a Hydraulic launch . It’ll add some extra spice on it :) Uncharted is a decent indoor coaster but I don’t think it’s worth waiting 1h+ Keep up the good work!🎉🎉

[@joshmonroe2562]

Goliath over Georgia!!! FTW!!!

[@joepublicnpc8998]

Red Force did nothing for me... the LSM launch is unimpressive compared to Furius Baco and you don't even feel the drop because of the speed

[@denniscielaszyk5118]

Very unpopular opinion: Shambhala isn't the tallest hyper. Orion is.
