Quick update: They still haven’t installed the launch track, so it’s very unlikely to make the 2025 season. At this point, it would be almost a miracle if they managed to complete the track and open it before 2026.

Followed by a dementi through social media:

The video game announcement has been removed with the latest patch.

As if it weren’t bad enough that they tore down Kingda Ka without any announcement (just to cut costs), they’re not even using the cleared footprint for the so‑called "replacement." Instead, we’re getting a smaller, slower, and simply ugly ride with mediocre capacity, comparable maintenance...

Everything state-organized turns to ****, so I have no idea, how anybody in their right mind can have high hopes. lol.

According to Intamin, they're max speed with LSM launches are 250 kph. Given that Falcon's Flight speed record is rumored to be exactly that, I doubt they'd want to pour more money into it just to take it by 1 or 2 kph.

Yeah, even on the lifthill there's a permament screaching noise in the video.

How is it definitely not a count? It's got a coaster-like train, running at all times on coaster-like rails. Imagine it without any water, would you still consider it definitely not a count?

Excuse the pun, but holy ****!

In that case, the guard rails would add more capacity than retractable floors, no?

They also announced the name in that same post. It ain't Roller-Coaster (as on the official merch) nor Furacão (as in the thread title) but simply FLASH COASTER.

Petition to change the thread title to What is PortAventura doing in Mexico? for lulz

Well well well, it still isn't open and won't be anytime soon because *drum roll* the wheels dissolved during the last test rides in the heat. This is just an endless nightmare for the park. I don't expect RES Rides to sell this ever again. The opening should have happened in 2023 and probably...

That poor cat.
