Theming Disappointing! Dead spots Layout
From the off ride you expect this to be a pretty decent family coaster, but it is so underwhelming. I get it’s not supposed to be thrilling, but that doesn’t mean it should be completely forceless. Great theming though, shame it was used on the worst rollercoaster in the park.

This is a bizarre ride. It just doesn’t really do anything of any note at all. It has nice theming but that’s about it. Terrible track design.

El Diablo - Tren de la Mina has great theming... and that's it. I consider this coaster an absolute mistake and am still wondering why it exists. It takes a good amount of space that can be used for anything else, literally. There are chain lift hills... and nothing afterwards. Just brakes & another chain lift hill. No drops, no steep turns, no acceleration. You can hear people trying hard to make it a little fun by wanting to scream 'Woo!' at the of the chain lift hill but only ending up with a dead 'W...o..o...'. Everyone is confused, when is the ride starting? Why are we going through multiple chain lift hills & experiencing no drops? Oh it's already over? The only fun experience is the fact that you're close to the log flume & can say hello to people over there from the coaster for a few seconds, but that's it. I get that it's a mine train, but it's fast enough to not be able to see anything around you, yet slow enough to be genuinely boring. An absolute waste of time! A better experience on the actual train that takes you from zone to zone in PortAventura!

There are way better mine train coasters out there with similair build date. The track looks weak and thin, its mostly straight up and down, curves are not banked...come on. Positive point...the direct drop the moment leaves the station.

Theming Discomfort Tear it down! Pointless
I remembered this ride to be just an extremely boring and pointless coaster, but when I rode it last time, I found out how wrong I was. It is pointless, right, and it has a horrible layout in which you spend more time climbing up the lift hills than in the coaster part itself. But it is no boring at all. Unfortunately. There's no time to get bored, as you have to make great efforts not to be smashed. It can be really painful, despite going always incredibly slow, as the track seems to be made of just a hundred of straight pieces. It feels old, and has made me be glad that Arrow doesn't exist anymore. Moreover, the trains, and specially the seats, are appalling, really hard, and although they might seem quite comfortable as you sit for the first time, once you leave the station you feel how the edge of the seat strongly hits your back. I wouldn't want to reride it for a long, long time. The only positive thing I can say about this coaster is the theming, which is really nice around the queue and station, even though the coaster itself looks quite bad, interacting with the also ugly log flume.

Nice surprise! Fun Duration Rattle
It was great fun. Very small ride for coaster enthusiasts, definitely recommend for children and everyone to be honest. It’s got some nice drops and turns that most people would enjoy. It is a little rough around some parts though

This weird mine train looks way better than it actually is: pretty boring and the narrow seats are not very comfortable. However, it is nicely themed, the interaction with the adjacent log flume is a fun gimmick and with three long trains on the track, it had a decent capacity.

super weird pacing, jank transitions. the one moment of air coming out of the station wasn't enough to make me really enthused, still a fun - if not very jank - arrow mine train. Nice theming aswell.

Theming Rattle Tear it down! Layout
I think this is actually the worst coaster that I've ever been on. It's painful, but I don't mind rough coasters that much (i like GOUDURIX, for crying out loud) if the layout's good. Now, how bad is El Diablo's layout, exactly? When you go out of the second lift hill, you pick up some speed, then go into some brakes and into the third lift hill. What was the point? I understand that it was supposed to interact with a mountain which wasn't built because of budget, and the piece of the coaster that interacted with it was removed too, but the weird as hell layout, the rattle, and the feeling of your back slamming against the hard seats just results in a painful mess that I never want to ride again. A lot of people said this thing feels like hundreds of track pieces stuck together. Yeah, that's pretty accurate. The only thing that's decent about this ride is the theming, but that's pretty much it. Turbo at Brighton Pier is the same level of bad in my opinion, but at least that has the intensity going for it. This is just a really bad, boring coaster. This thing takes up a lot of space, and PortAventura hasn't had a new coaster (in the main park) since 2012, so I wouldn't be opposed to this being PortAventura's first coaster to be removed.

Lovely setting in the park, but boring layout that does nothing for the majority of the time. Section between second and third lift hill is as dull as rides get

The nickname "lifthill: the ride" is appropriate. Surely, the actual coaster sections are very ok and the theming is great. Still, whenever you ride you are interrupted much too quickly by the next hill and additionally the track has become really rough, like it consisted of hundreds of pieces of straight track glued together. Decent family fun but not great at all. One-and-done.
