yankees15 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 ^^ No I would say that is the break run because if it was the launch area it would have an area in the middle of the track where the catch car and the cable would be. Also it would be box track and not 2 rail track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 It looks like mud to me. Maybe the fins were in a muddy place, like that grass field, perhaps? But then again, it's too "flat" to be mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GURZU Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 This week in spain is a nacional party, and the park is open. I think probably, we have a new photos before friday.

Top Thrill Dragster Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 ^^Those are the accumulators, they compress the hydraulic oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hold on, isn't hydraulic oil not able to be compressed? They're still obviously for the launch system though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGM Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Hold on, isn't hydraulic oil not able to be compressed? They're still obviously for the launch system though. The way it works is that there is a cylinder full of nitrogen gas which the oil is pumped into compressing the nitrogen. When the valve is opened, the oil is pushed out of the cylinder at high speed by the high pressure nitrogen. The oil rushes through the hydraulic motor which pulls the cable which launches the train. From what I learned in school,Liquid can be compressed, but it takes a lot of force compared to air or any gas Yes, your school taught you correctly, it is possible to compress liquid but it takes many atmospheres of pressure for it to happen. It can only really happen at the bottom of deep oceans and we don't have the technology yet to recreate this on the surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Disney Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 ^Not 100%, but it's a good idea... ^^Those are the accumulators, they compress the hydraulic oil. As others have said, the oil isn't compressed. Rather, they compress the gas which shoves the oil out of the accumulators and through the turbine like motors which drive the cable spindle. The oil flows into tanks where it's recycled into the accumulators for the next shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixflagsguy5 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 This coaster looks like it'll be a lot better than my original expectations. If my trip to Spain for next year works out, I'll be sure to write a TR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinb Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Anyone know roughly when this is ment to open? Can't be bothered to read through 17 pages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawer Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 This coaster looks like it'll be a lot better than my original expectations. . Me too but if you make a comparative with maverick's layout its ridiculous. Someone says that the theming of FB will be great... i don't know. at this moment this RC its good but can be more than this. PortAventura says that his new coaster will be opened at may 07. PD: is my first post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighExtreme Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Had a great time at PortAventura's Navidad event last week, work on Furious Baco is progressing well, quite a lot of the track work is in place ^ the station / launch area ^ the inline twist is looking insane There's also a section of track which features the signature intamin change in direction move, as used in Expedition GeForce The footers are ready for the part that will fly over the lake, i guess they're waiting untill the season ends in January to drain the lake and finish this part of the coaster when the park is closed to guests It's all looking very positive, i just hope this ride will achieve the predicted throughput as it sits at the very front of the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastermaniac1 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 New Update: And it looks like they are now working on the lake turn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 ever wondered how fast this ride can go thru in-line twist? since CP Mavelick looks like doin' ground huggin' twist at the speed of 62 mph aka 100 kph i'm guessin' this new one also does like that.

rollermonkey Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Wow, that one shot of the track curving through the canyon... Can you say sensation of speed? The folks on the low side are going to be really, really low. Like, lift your feet up low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deano Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Great pics, thanks. I'll be in Spain in July, so will look foreward to riding this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I'll be in Spain in July as well and I am really looking forward to riding this. The layout looks a bit boring but then again the speed should make up for it. The style of trains should also help to make the ride more interesting, I am really looking forward to riding on the lowest seat and being so close to the ground.

coastermaniac1 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I am going late June and I cant wait to go on this. I am going back to Port Aventura just to ride this. The good thing about Furious Baco will be that you will get 2 differant ride experiances because one side will go very close to the ground in the first turn trench while the will be the opposite. The lake turn will also give 2 differant ride experiances because one is nearly touching the water while the other side is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
