Intensity Layout Rattle Discomfort
Stampida is a wooden dueling coaster with a racing aspect. The racing element is the biggest highlight of Stampida, it's fun to duel with the other coaster, and the great surprise is when the tracks suddenly split and the trains cross paths afterwards. The intensity of the layout isn't very high, but the ride is so shaky that it gives a very uncontrolled (some would say uncomfortable) impression, and you feel like the train might jump off the track any second. I had to hold on tight throughout the entire ride, as there was a constant risk of banging your knees against something. Overall, it's a fun experience, but due to the shaking, it's not equally suitable for everyone. Subjectively, I liked the blue track a bit better than the red one.

First Drop Theming Nice surprise! Rattle
Pros: Considering this is a family coaster, the first drop was very steep and quite intense. The lap bars helped in giving comfortable airtime and softened the rattle. Operations were fast and 4 trains ran at a time (2x2). Cons: Very rattly, even more so than the Grand National. There were not very many duelling moments and a lack of airtime. 8/10

Fun Layout Rattle
I really like a dueling coaster and this one is also really cool. It doesn't have so much airtime but the racing element work in its favour. At one point there are 5 tracks next to each other (2x stampida blue, 2x stampida red and tomahawk) wich looks really cool. Yes it has a rattle but wich wooden coaster hasn't.

Location Fun Layout Rattle
(Copied from Stampida - Red review.) Stampida is located in the 'Far West' zone of PortAventura Park which is phenomenally beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. The views you get are great, and the layout of the rollercoaster is fantastic. I had rated this coaster a mere 1.5 stars just one year ago, because of the genuine damage it puts on your body from the rattle & discomfort, but I'm putting 3 stars this time. Not sure if it's because I knew what to expect this time & actually braced, but it actually did not hurt & was greatly enjoyable with amazing operations! The part where the 2 racing trains separate and then face each other is definitely the highlight reel! Overall I think you're in for a great ride IF YOU BRACE and KEEP YOUR KNEES WELL CENTERED! I can't stress this enough! I advised to skip last year, but definitely definitely do not! Simply brace & have fun on this nice ride!

Please avoid this rollercoaster at all costs. I just wanted it to be over! It's a great ride if you are a masochist!

Airtimes Theming Rattle Discomfort Dead spots
As much as this coaster has some great laterals, decent theming and airtime, it is a very rough and uncomfortable wooden coaster! The restraints are terrible, and the ride has a few pacing issues towards the end of the layout. This side is slightly rougher than the red side but not by much. If Stampida was retracked as a GCI and got millennium flyer trains like Tomahawk but bigger, it would be a lot better and more bearable and comfortable to ride.

Rattle Discomfort Tear it down!
Slightly better for discomfort than the red side but there’s not much in it. Same again here - horrible ride experience with extreme discomfort. Do not under any circumstances go at the back if you like your skeleton the way it is!

Airtimes Fun Theming Intensity
It does not rattle. Not at all. I don't understand why people complain about it, especially having Furius Baco right there to compare. Yes, it is true that Stampida is a bit shaky at the back rows, which is understantable considering it is a 23-years-old woodie (as of 2020), but in the middle-front seats it's rather smooth, the drop is quite fun and it provides a long and enjoyable experience overall. The trains could be improved, but the coaster itself is really nice, having some weak yet fun airtime moments, hills, turns and that interesting racing element. Moreover, it is a woodie, which is an extra point for me, and hearing the roar of the wood as the train goes by is already part of the experience. Really recommendable, though it could do with some more theming.

First Drop Lap Bar Pace Rattle Discomfort
It was actually way more intense than expected. Super fast and great drops but it was ROUGH. A lot of body banging, you hit the sides of the cart a lot and the rattle is just insane. Decent ride though, would recommend doing once max.

Nice surprise! Pace Fun Rattle
Probably the most underrated ride at the park, gives you a good suprise of what it is. The ride keeps a good pace while also using airtime, turns and lots more features in the area it is built on, slight rattle but that can easily be looked past by how fun the ride was

Airtimes First Drop Fun Harness
The ride itself is a masterful CCI Duelling Layout, with a lot of strong floater/weak ejector and brutal laterals, which I'm a big fan of. The first drop just plummets you into a mess of wood and it's honestly amazing. The only downside for me are the trains, KumbaK are a curse on this world. Not even that rough tbh.

Nice surprise! Fun Layout Theming Discomfort
This ride was a pleasant surprise: first of all, it has the "right" level of roughness for a classic wooden coaster which is loud, rustic and wild, but not in a displeasant way. I really appreciate the long and twisted layout which can lead to cool interactions with the adjacent "Tomahawk". The racing aspect is the icing on the cake, it provides great fun to both trains, you can fool around with the other riders on the lifthill and when both tracks separate and the trains head towards each other, it leads to a cool surprise effect. However, theming could have been done better and the Kumbak trains are a bit uncomfortable and appear quite outdated. Nevertheless, this coaster is loads of fun and when the rails are wet from the rain, it goes completely berserk!

Fun Duration
Stampida is definitely rough, but it’s a good rattle that adds to the ride experience, making it out of control mixed with some airtime and lots of laterals. The dueling aspect adds even more, making it fun and competitive the entire way through.

My brain was rattling in my skull. It was such an uncomfortable ride. I love woodies but I couldn't enjoy this.

Airtimes Fun Discomfort
This is the smooth side but gives a less amount of airtime. I now prefer the red side

A little rougher than it's red counterpart but still a very fun concept and layout.

Horrible restrains and sluggish speed ruin a fine wooden coaster

Nice surprise! Layout Rattle Discomfort
A classic woodie and definitely not a smooth one. The dueling aspect is great - you greet the people on the hill, you race alongside them, you even meet up racing in opposite directions at one point. So this is very fun. Unfortunately, the ride is beating the crap out of you. You can almost see the car in front of you bouncing up and down from the track. And by today's standards the layout is not strong enough to compensate for that. There are coasters out there that are so rough/old/bad they somehow become fun again and with this one it did not happen to me. Nice queue line going through the structure, though.

Preety good wooden ride, however a little painful. Harness could be better.

I'm a fan of dueling wooden coasters - but this is a little bit too shaky and rattly for my tastes.
