Definitely, after a second view ... I think that no MCBR. Zoomed image: This looks much more like a splash-zone, even comparing the support-height at this point. -

Official public press release notes from PortAventura The new roller coaster, a spectacular expedition to the heights Vilaseca-Salou, October 21, 2011 .- The President of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Artur Mas, has participated this morning in the act of laying the first stone of the new roller coaster of PortAventura, that once will become the highest in Europe. With this new attraction PortAventura wants to present a new challenge of adventure for the whole family, you can experience the passion of the great climbers. Not surprisingly, this new structure will change the skyline of the park creating a new "ridge" that will be visible for miles around. In addition to the President of the Generalitat, attended the event Josep Poblet, mayor of Vila-seca and president of the Provincial de Tarragona, Pere Granados, mayor of Salou, Joaquin Nin, delegate of the Generalitat de Catalunya in Tarragona, and Ramon English, Government Sub Tarragona. Representing Antoni participated Massanell PortAventura, president of the Board, Carlo Umberto Bonomi, CEO of Investindustrial and member of the Board and Sergio Feder, president of the Executive Committee. A unique and spectacular adventure With this attraction PortAventura want to raise a challenge to emulate the most memorable expeditions in history. Have all the ingredients for a memorable and fantastic adventure, climbing to new heights, falls rappel own abysmal, dark steps through tunnels, mountain lakes, all in an attraction that resembles the silhouette of a mountain range. A large scale often asked why a passion for mountaineering and generally can not provide a logical answer. So will the experience of this new attraction. Each one must assume it as a personal challenge, a haul that will face their own way. According to the great climbers to conquer a peak is closest to the mental and physical ecstasy, in short, an almost mystical experience. This amount of ingredients perfectly sums up the experience I feel the adventurous to try out. Do not leave anyone indifferent, because unlike the other attractions of speed that can be found in the park, the new roller coaster will offer visitors a veritable catalog of sensations plus spectacular views of the entire environment. This new attraction is set to become the new icon of PortAventura, as his majestic figure slender and completely change the skyline of the park, characterized so far by the Dragon Khan, PortAventura symbol since its opening. In fact, the new "ridge" of Aventura will be visible from miles away. Technical Data * Rollercoaster style "hypercoaster" which are characterized by large size and height, and a long journey without loops, and to achieve an impressive rate. * The attraction will beat three European records: 1. Rollercoaster highest in Europe (76 meters) 2. Roller coaster with the longest drop in Europe (78 meters) 3. Europe's faster hypercoaster (non-launched), it will reach 134 km / h on the first drip. The speed will vary as the rest of the way, as the Dragon Khan performed the entire journey with the inertia of the first fall. * 5 camelbacks (elevations along the route), the lowest of which has a height equivalent to a 7-story building. In each of these camelbacks, travelers will experience the effect known as air time, losing contact with the seat as in a mound of dirt road, but much more intense. PortAventura invests 25 million euros in this new attraction, which is scheduled for spring 2012. The design and development of this ambitious project has been jointly worked PortAventura and Bolliger & Mabillard company, which also designed the Dragon Khan, PortAventura emblem attraction and a favorite of visitors since its opening in 1995.

New info found at lavanguardia.com Barcelona. (Editorial) .- The PortAventura theme park will invest 25 million euros in a new attraction, which will start next spring. It is the tallest roller coaster in Europe whose design is provided by the park itself and the company Bollinger & Mabillard ( ), who also designed the Dragon Khan. PortAventura maintains secrecy and mystery about the name of the new attraction, according to the park, will be related to mountaineering and the Himalaya. The president of the Generalitat, Artur Mas, has chaired this afternoon the laying of the foundation stone has been used to ensure that investors see in Catalonia "a country open for business and attractive for large projects." The future new attraction will beat three European records: is the highest in Europe (76 meters) will fall longest in Europe (78 meters) and the European hypercoaster faster and it will reach 134 kilometers per hour on the first run. But has claimed as key factors for economic reactivation that Catalunya is a business-friendly country and opened for business. "They are two very important things if we want to be attractive for both investors inside and those outside, to be carried acbo illusions and big projects here," he assured. -

Important: There is no public name confirmation yet from the park. Name and logo seems to be found registered (and found by some fan-website), and some fan-websites seems to be removing that info. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Info from previous posts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New info: More info can be found at http://www.pafans.com/actualidad/news/0377/primera-piedra-de-la-nueva-montana-rusa-2012/ Photo: Artur Mas (President of Generalitat de Catalunya), mayors of Salou and Vila Seca, government delegate of Tarragona, PortAventura's president Antoni Massanell, and Investindustrial CEO, Carlo Bonomi. -
Nice videos and reviews! But i'm still want a review about PortAventura shows, and ... did you get time to rode Pndol? Someone here need more extenses reviews! Anyway, nice shots of Furious Baco from backstage... but... how strange is the gate working... they usually dont use it because it can make an error to the safety system and block the ride :S

Nice review guys! You seem to be enjoying all your trip to spain! Just also i would like to recomend also to see Chinatown and Fiestaventura, those are nice shows that you can't miss! @ Stampida trains yeah, those Kumba trains seems to be slower, but rode it at last row, and you will feel the nice airtime it has. The feeling of riding with those trains are to get more speed when you don't, just set a big space between the bar and your body and the ride would be ok Oh! also, i laughted a lot seeying all of you enjoying Quetzal (Aka Bouncy Bouncy) , its great see how you enjoyed that little park Awaiting for more updates!
