Universal's version of Disneyland Paris, right? Not been but at least the weather should be better than in France

I've been and it was good- we only went for a day, but personally i wouldn't find anything to do for more than 3 days there.

Have you got kids? If so i am sure you could spend a lot longer there than a group of 18 year olds!!

I have to agree - 7 day pass is too much, you could do it all in a day, similar to alton towers in my opinion. Worth going tho if your in the area.

We are staying in Salu in June and will visit the theme park while we are there (3 day pass probably).

Dont book with the tour companies, it is walkable from Salou and much cheaper to pay on the gate.

yeah few friends have now also said 3 day pass would be good enough. they also told me that you might be best to sort out my flights and accomodation and just pay at gate for theme park.

and no i dont have kids, its just myself and the gf we both in 20s

Went there 2 years ago for a day, it was great, although it was about a 3 hour coach trip from where we were staying.

We're going to Salou this year which is much closer, depending on where the hotel is we could walk there. We got a 7 day pass for the price of a 3 day pass from the travel agent, it also includes pass to the water park there.
I very much doubt we'd do 7 days there.
