Trevor Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psaulaferraz Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Apparently, a 37 year old man was injured because he had first-grade burns, although he is OK and don't even needed to go to the hospital. Another person suffered an anxiety attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSLKennyNI Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 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!

rcjp Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 ^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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projektion Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 ^^ 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.

coasterbill Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Seems odd they aren't delaying opening. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

scbt Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 So the real question is, how long before we start seeing that picture used on clickbait rollercoaster death articles and videos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordyC Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I *LOVE* the sound of that launch!! Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Finally! It does make a really cool sound. Can't wait to try it next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I feel like that's a Ferrari sound effect, not the actual sound of the launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 ^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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 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)?

Projektion Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 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.

rcjp Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 ^^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.

Trevor Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 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!

coasterbill Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The sound is real guys!! No speakers yet! 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.

Arn'O Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 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....
