PortAventura Discussion Thread

I guess they are using the train to generate electricity at that first section of the flat track, just like Fluch von Novgorod. I don't think any Intamin has done that before but this might be their start. That also probably explained why the acceleration is very slow, they are probably reusing a huge part of the regenerated electricity to launch the train at a perfect balance they found. -

Could it be that they designed the brake like that to save money on the supports since the terrain is downhill? -

They posted a video of the soundtrack on SnapChat, I think it's really good! Is IMA Score behind it as well? -

Calm down people, I'm just saying Gemini can be very jerky at certain spots and retrack will make it so much better, just like BTMR at Disneyland. They might be able to figure out ways to cut down the pressure on the structure so Gemini can stay there longer! -

Here's an idea, hire Dynamic Attractions to do a complete retrack so it doesn't hurt your spine to ride it! -

Could be the entrance, the entrance sign and structure can be all black so that matches. -

Seat tilting and locking mechanism would be way too heavy for the wings. -

They wanted a smooth ride. Dude Takabisha is one of the smoothest coasters I've ever ridden! Gerstlauer has been doing a great job lately and Mack did have some vibration problems on Alpina Blitz and Helix. -

Haven't seen the train sideways but one thing I know about Intamin trains is that they ALWAYS have the biggest space but less tolerant restraints -

Given this is a single car coaster... I'm wondering why they didn't go for Gerstlauer? -

Does the 1g include the projection of gravitational force on the train's moving direction or not though? If the decline of the launch is 45 degrees, that could be the difference between 0.3g or 1g. -

Hmm 4 across seating arrangement I guess? I think those purple things are headrests too. -
