^^ I realize this, I'm more curious at how it's even in this state to begin with.

Which is why I made the initial statement that I did... I understand that if the bent track caused an operational issue with the ride, that they obviously wouldn't run it until it was fixed. Like Projektion, I'm just curious as to what caused that to happen in the first place because that's something I've never seen on a brand new coaster.

Anybody that is worried about the bending track needs to be institutionalized. Honestly. The park is not f***ing RETARDED. They will not run a train over track like that. They will do abundant walk through inspections of the track. They will address the issue and mend the bent profile.

I swear to god. Sometimes I read some of your guys' posts and my jaw drops.


Look up "worried" in the dictionary. None of us are worried, we're just speculating on how that came to be. Reading up on comma usage would be helpful too.

Construction whoopsies happen all the time on a variety of projects. Remember when Taron's supports weren't lined up with the connectors or something like that? That was probably the surveyors screwing something up.

Huge update! The bigger crane is on site so more supports should be going up soon.

ohhhhh kay. Look at the other straights on this ride. glass smooth. The first brake run had to be done intentionally. Have you guys ever seen an F1 car take air after being hit? That's what the little hill reminds me of.

It's interesting how they made no attempt to save sapce for the transfer track.

It's much farther away from the two B&Ms than I thought it was.

There is an entire themepark in between both B&M's and this coaster.

Still I knew Ferrari Land or whatever was a tumor-like addition on the side (it's still separate admission right?), but I don't know it was that far.

It is been rumored/told that it was going to be separate entrance. And yes. Port Aventura is this big :lol:

EDIT: Pictures broken

The park has also revealed that the trains will basically look like these (3 cars of 2 rows each; 12 total)

Speed Monster is 100 years old. I bet the trains match Nefeskesen.

This park is becoming quite the campus... If they're separate admissions, which would be believable, it's still going to be amazing. Anything that goes this fast and this high is worth riding. Whatever the case, they have a lot of money and probably have a lot more poop pending

If they did look like Nefeskesen's trains then it would have one less row. The park has said that each train will fit 12 people which would make for horrible capacity, but could be due to the fact that it's an LSM launch and not a hydraulic.

This is going to be an LSM launch? That has completely passed me by.
