Okay so before going to PortAventura I used to think that Oblivion at Gardaland is the best rollercoaster ever (it is still one of my top ones) but I couldn't understand why people online were saying that there are so many rollercoasters that are much more intense. Well, trust me. Now I know exactly how... Let's start off with the station. I like how you can put your stuff there. Then you sit in the train. The seats are in rows and they are 2x2 - together or separated. So you can sit directly next to your friend if you want to. The seats and the restraints are extremely comfortable. And this specific teal color is just so so so unique and just looks so good. I love the color of the ride. Now the lift hill, I admit that I was terrified. So long, so high and so scary. And when I think about the huge drop... No... I had to close my eyes and not open them until the climbing is over. And here comes the first drop. I understood right away why Oblivion is not so intense in the eyes of other rollercoaster enthusiast and the difference in the intensity was horrendous. The drop is just sooo huge. You scream in fear you shout then you calm down and you are STILL FALLING DOWN. It feels endless. Then you have another drop right away which seems just as high or even more than the first one and then a series of many many other drops which are super fun and cool. By the end the first drop ends you no longer have fear and you feel just so relaxed and cool and amazing. You would want to lift your arms up and have so much fun... It's long, it's cool, it's comfortable, it's intense. I completely understand and agree with the top ranking of Shambhala on all websites. Now i know what truly is an intense coaster. I had no idea before that honestly and the difference is huge. We ran through the whole park to hopefully have one more ride during the day before the park closes. We were praying to be able to experience it once again... This ride gives me such a good feeling I just love it so much but the ascension is absolutely petrifying every single time. But don't be afraid, do it! After the first drop you will feel amazing. Oblivion also has an amazing feeling but it's shorter while here after the initial drop, the fun is just about to begin. It's long going up but you will be fine. Smooth, cool and amazing! This rollercoaster definitely deserves the fame and the love.

I have heard by someone I know what more than 20 years ago "there was no queue for this ride because everyone was sick and throwing up after it". I've also read that it's very rough so I wanted to do it by the end of the day so that it doesn't ruin my time at the park. However, after Shambhala, me and my friend decided to go there and ride it. Well, it was an interesting ride. First of all, it is in no way as rough as I expected. There was headbanging for sure and it was painful, I had slight pain in my right year and neck but nothing too serious. It wasn't very violent headbanging but still annoying and consistent all the time. The ride itself was interesting because if you no longer have fear of rollercoasters it's like a show. It has many different types of inversions and it's very cool to sit, relax, watch them and then go through them and feel the hanging and the feeling of every single element. I didn't feel that much during the ride, it was mostly calming and interesting to sit, relax and enjoy the look of the different inversions and to hear the panic in people while going through the loops. It was very interesting and educational to see all the different inversions this ride features. I also like how it combines with the track of Shambhala, it's beautiful. And the ride is also pleasant to look at from a distance. Keep in mind that my friend got nauseous and definitely needed a short break after this one, but nothing that 20-30 minutes of rest couldn't fix. So the ride is not that violent but not too intense either. It has an amazing variety of inversions and it's interesting and relaxing if you are not afraid to go upside down.

This one was a pretty solid ride! The theming and 3D experience carry the enjoyment of this one. It has some intense elements, and the 3D effect with video screens makes it more intense and immersive than it is in reality. The duration of the ride is also super long so if you've waited a long time to ride you at least get an entire coaster/dark ride experience. They even throw in water elements and heat during specific moments in the story. I'm knocking it on capacity but it might be an illusion. It seems like they get a big group into a room plus the "elevator" ride so they were going for a full queue experience but I can imagine how backed-up lines can be if you have to stand through a whole video. There were also questionable dead spots throughout the ride but the pacing wasn't horrible either. It just knocked the experience down a bit. 3.5/5 stars
