Hi and welcome to what will be my biggest TR. It will include PortAventura Theme Park, Costa Caribe Waterpark and Salou and La Pineda in Spain. PortAventura is one of the worlds best theme parks and i was lucky enough to visit 3 times in one week. I also visited Costa Caribe waterpark, which is next door to PortAventura, once. The waterpark is great and so much fun, i do have some pics of this to show you in a minute. Also there is a few pictures of Salou and La Pineda, which is two areas near PortAventura. Well lets talk about the theme park. They have some of the best rides i have ever been on, including; Dragon Khan, Furius Baco, Tutuki Splash and more. The best was Dragon Khan, which is just so fantastic and smooth. Too smooth for an 14 year old coaster. But thats B&M for you. Also another great rollercoaster is Furius Baco that i absoloutley loved. It has the best barrol roll i have ever been on. So quick and fun. Now Hurakan Condor, what can i say except WHAT A RIDE! Its so good, and scary. I went on it 4 times in 3 days. Well now down to the important stuff!

Nice TR, looks like you had a great time, in england there is lots of curry shops, i guess in spain there is lots of british bars. (and at least one celtic one...)

Thanks and yes, loads of british bar, and no, i didnt like the celtic bar, i liked the Ibrox Bar!

Most of spain is packed with English Bars and Chippies, i personally prefer the original spanish places, they make me feel like im on holiday.

I'll fix the pic[s] for you in the morning, im off to bed now.

Yes, i preffer going somewhere else than british, but im fussy, sometimes the british bars are easiest!  And ok for fixing pics in morning, Thanks!

I am sorry for double post, but i would like more peeps to reply and comment about this TR, so thanks.

Alright, fixed your pics.

So I don't have to keep doing this, I'll tell you how i do it, its really simple, I just find the same pic in your PB album, and copy and paste in the image URL replacing the dodgy one.

Thanks Haz, and btw, i did try that as you told me that before, it didnt seem to work.

Great PTR. Almost all the PTR's on NLBench have been great so far. :P This is one of them.

The parks look great and some of those pictures are very nice. Furious Baco looks great too.

^ Thanks, and Furius Baco is great, bit bumpy, but great, so bloddy fast! :P

Video HERE!

Thanks, Dan.
