Ferrari Land - Port Aventura 2017 Red Force POV!

Definitely the most unique looking Intamin large tophat that exists. The new single spine track looks so unusual on this shape. And the downward dive being so large yet not having a 270 spiral is eye-catching as well.

We'd love to see the "Inside Tophat" Intamin Accelerator someday, too!

Eh honestly I think that would rob you of the sense of height because the rack blocks part of your view.

^I don't know, if its supported right you could be looking straight down....

Looks quite good with that 90?? twist on the drop.

Rip supports lol. Looks like they are having some issues with supports and need to rebuild them.

Trial and error lol...

Perhaps the tophat settled far more than expected?

[gouldy]

Anyone else think it looks really ugly, or is that just me?

I can't put my finger on what it is, but to me it seems to look really awkward.

The supports under the wavy brake run look absolutely horrible to me to be honest. It screams "a satanic accountant made us do it". I get that being cost effective is important, but when potentially thousands are going to photograph the thing every year, the other side of that issue matters as well.

Also intamin used to be a bit notorious for adding supports to rides a year after they opened (or a few years, I'm looking at you all impulse coasters). At least they caught this one early.

^^ yes

It's the track for me.

While I agree it looks really ugly, I think that drop looks AMAZING. The way it curves should offer some great lateral airtime.

It looks like it might have a much smoother roll into and out of the crest compared to rides like iSpeed. It should probably be kind of like the top hat on Nefeskesen @ Vialand. I could be wrong, though.

Logos are up

I'm curious to see how the station turns out

Official opening date on 4/7/2017!

That is the sexiest line of LSMs I've ever seen.

[Coasterkidmwm]

It's a shame they picked the colors they did. It's like they really wanted to copy TTD and then tried to compromise so they wouldn't

Proving that TTD is too beautiful!

Lol is that glass in the bleachers? It'll get scratched in 2 days.

While the ride still just looks odd, it should be a neat area.

Nah, a lot of European stadiums are like this. Even my hometown stadium has glass as some of it's vomitory walls in the new stand, which was built about 4 years ago now and none of that glass is scratched. I guess it's toughened glass?

That huge tower looks amazing, specially from the stadium!

How they gettin' away with 3 car trains on this one? Especially considering how diluted the banking is. Very surprising.
