B&M hyper's are boring! Their last coaster was Intamin, why couldn't they have stayed with them, and get a sick top 10 mega coaster!!!

^I bet Port Aventura's will be good. PA doesn't disappoint when they put in a new E-ticket attraction. I look forward to riding this next time I go visit relatives in Spain.

Here some more groundwork pics taken yesterday

 

^^ I love Intamin coasters but not Baco. It used to be decent in the first year, when it was running that is, but rerode it again multiple times the last few days and it really has become rougher than ever. It's really barely enjoyable now.

 

^ PA's e-ticket system wasn't really working too well during our visit. They sell way too many express passes so that the express lines to most rides are starting outside of the express waiting area. Also, they do an excellent job to build up the normal lines very quickly by running only 1 train till the normal line is over 1 hour or more.

 

Anyway, a B&M hyper will be something that gets the GP very excited in my opinion.

I was referring to an E-ticket attraction, like a major ride, not an E-ticketing system to buy park tickets. Every time I've visited PA, they have at least 2 trains running on all their coasters and they move their lines quickly, but everytime I've visited its been a weekday in July.

My bad, I understood you were talking about their express pass system.

Hello everyone,

 

I bring a new rumor. User Pa-Community.com SANTIAGO, (one of the most reliable sources, that everything you said was true) had this to say:

 

 

Hi Guys, there is a rumor, it may be false.

Maybe the new ride is a new subject area, and may add the only continent that is not:

Mediterranean-Europe

Polynesia: Oceania

China: Asia

Mexico and Far West; America

 

Missing??

 

I repeat a rumor does not come from PA but there are many companies working on this project ...

More data will wait ..

 

If the rumor is true, this could be to put a new area dedicated to a country of Africa.

 

Just not a big area like the other, would be the new ride, a restaurant and a shop, but little could be expanded with more supply. How did Europa Park, the area of Iceland, which first was a ride and now there are two and a new Wooden.

 

Expect more news and rumors. I just hope it's true.

 

Greetings!

Is it me, or does this ride not look like a hyper? Judging by the construction photos, this ride does NOT look 200 feet tall.

How can it look something if they have not started building anything yet??!!

[ernierocker]

^^How can you tell how tall the coaster is going when all they have done is cleared land so far???

 

You DO know that is Dragon Khan showing up in the photos right?

Then what are the construction pictures on the previous page?

[Trevor]

where do you see the new coaster? I only see what they're doing, the terrain movements to create new levels for the new area...

Haha, whoops! I should have known, but I have never been to Port Aventura, so I don't know the area too well

[Schotcher]

78 meters? Wow, look at B&M steppin' up their game. A 255 foot Beemer and a 306 foot Beemer (not to mention an amazingly compact invert and 3 freaking awesome Wingriders) all in the same year? Best B&M year ever!

[egiptologo]

There are no official informacion about the new coaster...the 78 metres and all the other words are only rumors.

This is true, no official info yet.

There is also a rumors that this will be another B&M giga.

[DiSab]

Maybe it'd going to be a B&M Strata, and the 78 meters is the height of the final brake run...?

If Leviathan is anything to go by, then I could see it

 

BTW, I hadn't seen these trenches next to Khan's lift hill... Finally something interesting happening!

[matteocrepaldi]

I'm glad to see progress in the construction even if it's just dirt being moved around. I hope to see the official announcement soon!
