I hate the Lake part!...

Poor Lake

And a curiosity, we've seen two artworks, and they're different, in the first, the train passes less than one metre of the water, and in the last artwork the train is 4 or 5 metres from the water

I'm confused...

[coasterdude5]

Nice shots, the water is so blue, haha. It looks like a cool ride, but maybe they'll work with the concept to allow for a larger model.

After Checking out a video of its layout on You-Tube, i'm really questioning how good this is going to be. To me, it sounds like all speed, and nothing else at all interesting, apart from maybe the trains.

 

But i hope i am wrong.

[DATman]

^At least it doesn't have a tophat and nothing else.

[coastermaniac1]

This will get a lot closer to the lake than I thought it would.

 

I have been waiting to see construction start on the lake turn for ages.

 

I cant wait to ride. I am really excited about this.

 

Hope to see more pictures soon.

Yeah i think this coaster is all about speed seeing as there is no real list of elements.

 

However i do feel that this coaster will provide a new coasting experience.

On many other coasters you feel a bit restricted. On floored coaster's, really only your head and shoulders are exposed to the environment around you but you feel very secure in your tain.

On inverts you can't really see much of the surrounding environment unless in the front and even then you are secured to the whole train.

Then on flying coasters your only really exposed to the ground when your flying and still feel very secure by the restraints.

 

Sorry for the rant, Now on these new wing walkers i feel will be very different.

I know X is a 4d but the seat's are similar but they rotate. Now on that I felt very exposed. My legs were hanging but without the big bulk of an inverted train infront of me, and without the safety of a normal train either directly behind or infront of you as you are on these arms that stick out of the main train.

Now X has plenty of elements but no real interaction with the environment, except maybe the last gully but put the exposure that these seats give on a speeding coaster(fastest in Europe) and have these interact with the surrounding environment, a small forest, a bridge, a walkway, a kind of near station fly by and a lake water feature and you've got one scary ride i feel.

 

I definitly think this coaster is about exposure and interaction with the surrounding environment.

 

I cant wait to try it at the end of the summer.

Yeah, i guess thats actually lucky for Port Aventura. A top Hat over the lake would completely ruin it.

[hawer]

Some people in Spanish forums say that it's a shame that this coaster doens't have a top hat, because it could provide a great amount of airtime, and thus, a great experience

a small forest, a bridge, a walkway, a kind of near station fly by and a lake water feature and you've got one scary ride i feel.

 

Dont forget the first huge turn in the 40ft trench at around 90mph after the launch and the 40ft+ drop.

 

Now that will be an amazing experiance with the new trains.

Ladies and gentlemens...

 

 

 

 

 

It's Finished!

 

Thanks to www.PA-Community.com for the fantastic photos(check the website for more).

 

Now... What do you think?

[ikari]

waaa it finally has the top hat!!! that finale lake part will be really awesome, awesome air time!!!

 

I want to ride it!!! *___*

[coastermaniac1]

That looks awesome.

 

I cant wait until June.

[hawer]

this isn't it a top hat...(or minimum a top like others that we know) this is the last part of the track. for me this is the worst think that can do the new direction of portaventura... because the lake (now it's to small) in the next season will be more litle and the shows could be only concentred in one litle part... for a few people too

 

see you!

Top.....Hat?

 

 

Looks cool, but i think it will be dissapointment. Still.

[Scaparri]

I can't decide if this ride is going to be really freakin' cool or really freakin' lame. It really looks like it could go either way. The high speed and trenches will be cool, but there isn't much elevation change at all. Doesn't seem like a great deal is happening. Hopefully I'm just not seeing very good angles and its really freakin' cool.

[matteocrepaldi]

I think that it looks great. Hopefully in May I'll ride it.

The best is will wait to test it... I think this coaster can mejorate... but the speed, the low-height, the new trains, the nearly of the water...

 

Best wait to ride it.... no?

 

P.D: Is a Intamin coaster... Intamin not defrauded

[RCfanatic]

IMO the coaster looks great! The speed, the turns, the wingwalker trains, the part over the lake,... The arguments for the coaster being lame are good ones, but i think the speed and the other special features will make up for the lack of a top hat. Anyways, nothing's sure yet, let's hope the reviews turn out good!

[coastermaniac1]

I think the ride will be great because launching at 84mph then into a 40ft drop and through a huge trench at 90mph will start the ride of great.

 

The in line twist and the lake turn look great and the new trains will add loads to the ride.

 

It will be a short ride but most launch coasters are short rides.

 

The que and station themeing should be fantastic and the ride should have a great atmosphere.
