PortAventura Discussion Thread

P. 134: "El Diablo Neo" mixed reality experience announced!

Recommended Posts

The news right now. The facades of Ferrari Experience, at least the ones done with Porex are completely gone. There is one worker with first degree burnings in the leg. Very sad situation

 

 

 

PortAventura released an statement in which is said that the opening data is not going to be changed

 

More pics and videos

Wow this is some dramatic news... Glad there were no serious injuries. I also hope the opening dates aren't changed as they said on that statement.

Posted

Seems odd they aren't delaying opening. Will they seriously open a already small second gate park with part of it closed up and smelling like a barbecue?

 

Hardly expect it to be rebuilt that quickly. Would be great it they could though!

Posted

^Yes it doesn't sound very easy for them. We'll see. (When I first saw that picture I panicked thinking it was the intamin)

Posted

^^ If I'm honest, I can't really imagine it would take that long to replace the facades. The facades PA have been using for the last few years now (ever since SesamoAventura) have been 3d printed Polystyrene (Probably also the reason it burnt so quickly) so it would just be a case of re printing the parts.

Given that they're building an Intamin strata coaster they probably already factored routine catastrophic failures and major delays into the schedule. They probably didn't plan on this, but whatever

My handy dandy calendar says it's technically still 2016, so this is fully expected and as Bill pointed out I'm sure went into the planning schedule.

 

I almost feel like I should specify that I'm kidding. I know you know that, and most people know that... but otherwise I'll wake up to tons of people explaining why I'm wrong about the construction timeline and since I have to go to work tomorrow I can't start drinking that early.

So the real question is, how long before we start seeing that picture used on clickbait rollercoaster death articles and videos?

Posted

^I also thought about that. But would they make it that loud (that far away)? And we've never heard what LSMs propelling a coaster to such high speeds sound like, so I'm not sure.

Posted

I'm assuming they just dubbed it over the video. They already added music to it, why not add the sound effect that I'm assuming they'll play when they launch a train (sort of like what Dragster does)?

Posted

Pretty sure it may be real, it's the exact same sound that the launch on Taron makes. I think to sound may just be a bit delayed in the video.

 

(@ 1:41)

 

Then again, you could be right as it's awfully loud considering how far away the video is being shot from.

Posted

^^Maybe. I actually thought that the fact that it wasn't synchronized with the launch was just because it was shot from what appears to be a relatively big distance but perhaps you're right.

Posted

The sound is real guys!! No speakers yet! I think they dind't even know the coaster would do this sound and probably someone in the offices is celebrating they can remove the speakers item in the budget breakdown!

If it's a sound effect it was added to the video, it's not coming from speakers. Most of the video has a music bed anyway so it's not like it's a crazy thought.

 

Maybe you guys are right, but it sounds like a sound effect of a Ferrari car on a race track which makes me think it's a sound effect, but wither way that's awesome.

Without the twist in the drop like TTD and KA the drop on this thing looks absolutely insane

Same. I can't even imagine how insane it will be to go straight down like 100-110 meters! And the view from the top! I just can't wait to see a POV video....

 

I need to ride this someday
