oriolat Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Check page 211. The very first date was 2016. I believe it was only more recently they said late 2016/17 and only now (or a few months ago) spring 2017. Yeah, initially the project was meant to be finished by late 2016, but I guess they decided to play it safe and pushed back the opening date to 2017. In other news, the park has closed for the season until March and around Stampida some tress have been taken down and some new footers have been poured, which means that Stampida is going to receive another retrack. I don't know if they are going to finish the entire track in just 2 months or they are just going to retrack another portion. There were also some rumours of PA getting rid of the awful Kumbak trains and replacing them with GCI Millennium Flyers. After all, this season Tomahawk (the junior CCI) has recevied Minillennium Flyers and the feedback has been really positive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-86 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sad to hear that FL postponed to 2017, but it was quite obvious after seeing the process of spain construction style. Have to move planned trip to PA 2016 to 2017 then.. Hope that Stampida gets bigger train other than the Mini-Flyers.. This really shows that PA loves their Bulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarlaKoaster Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks for the pic. Glad to see RCS building it.... should be finished this time next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projektion Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Since it's RCS, I'd give them a month (and a half at a stretch) and the coaster is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Good to see supports going up, it'll be interesting to see what this one looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabri999 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 In the video you can see how supports are constructed. The best view is in minute 1:28. PAC ______________________________________________________________________________ And PortAventura Space announce that on Monday 18 of January will be a announcement at 9 am.

Projektion Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Confirmation that Stampida is getting even further retracked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 ^I hope these retracks don't change the ride experience as I remember someone pointing out last year that the first retracked section had lost some of its laterals due to more banked turns which I find a shame as it was one of the things I liked most about the ride.

RyanTPM Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 They seem to be really cracking at this now. Good to finally see the tower going up, wonder how different its going to look in comparison to TTD and KK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CristianJ282 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 They seem to be really cracking at this now. Good to finally see the tower going up, wonder how different its going to look in comparison to TTD and KK. 113m tall and 180km/h in 5 seconda, doesn't impress me much, but i will Take a trip in 2017. Also, towers will be smaller than hurakan condor. Full details find on facebook or Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 The park just presented more details about the new area yesterday, including a new website and a new name for the resort. www.portaventuraworld.com Here you can see more pictures of the construction of the new coaster: PAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlaKoaster Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I like the mix of traditional Italian architecture and the ultra modern F1 style buildings. I'm fascinated to know what the price is and whether it is included with the hotels and you can park hop between the two like you'd do at Disneyland Paris. I guess this is my polite way of saying it looks pretty small (even in the concept art, which should surely flatter the size) and that I don't think I'd pay more than €15-20 for it.

1aflack Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Seems you are basically going to be paying for the launched coaster, a couple of S&S towers, some sort of go-kart track and I would imagine a dark ride (probably something like Soarin as they have that in Abu Dhabi). In the long term unless they have serious expansion plans I just can't see this working as a stand alone park, I expect it will be 9.99 Euros in a couple of years or included in some special deal with the main park.

coaster1000 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 So, judging from the concept art the trains will have the old restraints. Has anything been confirmed on this yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 So, judging from the concept art the trains will have the old restraints. Has anything been confirmed on this yet?

RyanTPM Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 ^Yeah, it's just concept art, id imagine it will certainly have lap bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arn'O Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Is there some sort of hill still coming on the end of that coaster? Look at the Photos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CristianJ282 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 ^I see that to. Cant figure out what is the point of that bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 So it could be this gets a small hill after the big brake, would be welcome as TTD looks more boring the Kingda Ka. So a small hill is always welcome if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arn'O Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Maybe brakerun starts AFTER that hill...??? Or then it's only concept art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Based on the concept art, this is a lot smaller of an attraction than I expected... Seems like it would make more sense as a new land in PortAventura than as a separately ticketed offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 ^ I agree. Who is going to pay a separate theme park price for go-karts, two drop towers, a restaurant and a coaster that will probably be down more than it is up for at least the first three years of operation?
