Uncharted: The Enigma of Penitence • PortAventura Park

Comfort Capacity Disappointing!

Uncharted is a dark ride with surprising audiovisual elements and a state-of-the-art ride layout featuring switchtracks, LSM launches, and rotating 12-person trains. The good aspects of this ride first: The ride is extremely smooth, Intamin-like, and the rotation and LSM launches are controlled and pleasant. Designed as a dark ride, the immersive theming draws you into a story that is meant to be experienced. And that's where the major problems start: The story is exclusively told in Spanish, and the theming in the queue line transitions from Wild West to Maya to wild shooting, leaving a non-Spanish-speaking person with no chance of understanding the video sequences even remotely. With almost 3 hours in the queue line, we saw each sequence multiple times, and there was certainly room for an English version. So, after almost 3 hours of waiting and a 2-minute ride time in an incomprehensible story, we left with major question marks. What's the use of such an elaborate production if you deny the story, the heart of such a ride, to the international audience? Sorry, but this is just poor execution of a good idea. One star for the ride feeling, nothing more.

Smoothness Layout Disappointing! Pointless Dead spots

After months of hype, the experience was underwhelming to say the least. Too much light for a dark coaster, so you can see all the structure and rails, which makes it very predictable. Many of the effects do not work half of the time. The theming throughout the coaster itself is very poor. The 2 screen moments feel as if you were sitting in a cinema watching some movie rather than inside the story, and they are completely unrelated to your journey throughout the coaster. It is way too short. It lacks any thrilling sensations. All in all, it is a very bad investment, costing twice as much as an RMC would cost, 25% more than Batman Gotham City Escape, launched a month earlier by its competitor park, which turned out to be a million times better... Uncharted was a very poor decision and if I were an investor in the park I'd really be angered.

Nice surprise! Fun Intensity Theming Capacity

Well, wasnt expecting anything at all, after a chaotic 1hour wait i was almost pissed and couldnt wait to leave the ride zone, but the ride took me by surprised. The spinning add some forces and centrifugal feeling, the launches, turns were surprisingly intenses, and the "swing" has so much potential. The operations however are bad as fuck, capacity of the ride is stupid and the queueline felt a bit opprressive and suffocating and the theming in the ride is questionable.
