Trevor Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just look at this picture. Dragon Khan is almost 50m and you can't even see it. It's AMAZING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj-Javixxxxx Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 ^ f***ing impressive! This nice photo shows how big is the "new toy" of PortAventura compared with our little Dragon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy 9 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I almost feel bad for Khan, with how it's been dwarfed. On the bright side, Shambahla looks freaking amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj-Javixxxxx Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 ^The helix is going to be a great element imo, but I think it begins to look a bit over-supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 This ride doesn't even have a mid-course brake run to slow the train down a significant amount Yes, it does. It's almost at the end of the ride, like Carowinds' Intimidator. Intimidator's mid-course slows the train down for two drops and a helix. This one slows it down for a drop and a U-turn to line back up with the station. It's as much of an MCBR as iSpeed has, which is more of a preliminary brake than a mid-course one.

Ed Farmer Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 B&M trims don't kill their rides, they maintain a very specific speed that B&M has designed the elements on their coasters to be taken at. Raging Bull sends it's regards. The trim on the camelback castrates one of the better looking layouts for a 200+ foot coaster from any manufacturer. After what may be the best first drop anywhere, it's more of a Slightly Aggravated Dairy Cow than a Raging Bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) ^Okay, the original B&M hypercoaster has been neutered. The other dozen of the world send their regards. Edited February 17, 2012 by coasterfreak101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy 9 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 That is quite the funky turnaround! I personally love most B and M's (Yes, I know, you can laugh now) and this only gets me more excited for the coming season. That is probably one of the strangest turnarounds ever, but at the right speed, I think that it will pack a pretty large punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Khan Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) I found this picture particularily interesting for a totally different point of view (photo taken from golf green, courtesy of HaRmAn) It looks massive and gives the impression of a steel twister even if we all know from the layout that it's clearlt out'n back. Enjoy this metal cathedral Edited February 17, 2012 by Dragon Khan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 That is going to one impressive coaster skyline once this ride is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Khan Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 ^Absolutely. they now need a retrack of Stampida by GCI, and an Intamin Plug'n Play woodie, a TTD clone plus a well themed B&M Invert on the other side of the park (low to the ground with trenches ala Nemesis, not to be too reminiscent of Khan) , and I'll then move to Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbanLegend Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 For some reason I always thought that the rails and cross-ties were more of a royal blue I actually like this color a whole lot more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
