New ride for PortAventura in 2011?

[marc]

Whats also messed the park up is Ryanair, you used to be able to book through them and fly Ryanair then get the bus to the park. But due to Ryanair only letting people book on their own site it messed that deal up so now you have to fly Easyjet and land miles away

And of course the down turn in the euro as you have said

According to jonylopez50 from CAPTE.org (Spanish Coaster Club), the management from PA were recently invited to try out Mistery Mine by Gerstlauer.

Of course, this doesn't mean PA will be getting a Eurofigher for sure, but it's on the cards... :roll:

Let the speculation begin...

HAHAHAHA.

That would be worth the **** ride for how FUNNY it would be to laugh at the people that wanted a Flyer :wink:

If they get a Eurofighter im going to cry.

Eurofighters are just such a crap coaster type, there like a poor mans Dive Machine.

 

[Screaming Coasters]

^ But if they do it right, we could be seeing another Mystery Mine. Universal still has shares in the park so we should see something pretty spectacular, whatever coaster it gets.

 

[spicy]

^ Wouldn't you rather another Sheikra/Griffon than a Mystery Mine though? With Universal still having shares just reiterates that they can afford it.

 

[Screaming Coasters]

I would actually prefer a Mystery Mine type ride over Griffon. You can do so many more things with a Eurofighter, make stories, throw flames, do whatever. But either way I guess I'm happy.

I wouldn't mind them pulling off a Mystery Mine, it all depends how they actually "pull it off". But with PA, they can even make drop towers outstanding, so it wouldn't shock me if they could make a Euro-Fighter outstanding. Like SC said above, there is a higher range of freedom, not only when theming is in concerned, but when it comes to layout such as inversions and launches.

I still place bets down for the Black Mamba style inverted coaster

 

[Screaming Coasters]

I wouldn't want a Vekoma Motorbike coaster, just wouldn't fit in with PA.

I swear thats on the cards as well. Isn't it supposed to go next to the mine train or something?

 

[Ben]

^It is on the cards. Hopefully, joker cards.

It wouldn't necessarily have to be motorbikes though, they have horses and cougars as other train theme options (link) , and no doubt other custom options are out there too.
Not that a park like PA should get one.

The words "can't polish" and "turd" spring to mind though :wink:

 

[Gazza]

Don't get me wrong, I don't really like 'motorbike/saddled' coasters either (Except for Jet Rescue :love4: ) and Vekomas design looks to lean towards the sucky end of the spectrum.

 

[supersion]

PortAventura are definatly getting a Eurofighter, but its for 2011 supposedly.

:? Sorry if you already know this, but i couldn't see a confirmation anywhere.

 

[Ormerod]

Wikipedia is a bad source to go by, even if it's true!

 

[Kebab]

It can be accessed by any type of noob. I'll pass on that :razz:

 

[WuTang2k2]

Please no, don't let this happen to a good park.

 

[Ben]

Yeah, they're talking about it on the Spanish forums. I don't know enough to translate it very well, but, they're basically saying "we're getting a Eurofighter... ****".

I'll get the Spaniard to translate it properly.

 

[Ollie]

If their last coaster Baco shows the quality of coasters we can expect in the future then we already know this will be amazing.

 

[Ormerod]

Port Aventura = good
Eurofighter = ****


Please don't mix the two, its almost incest.

 

[marc]

They could shock us all and get a Eurofighter I wish I was joking but it could be a possibilty.

2 years ago I said Thorpe would get one and everyone said no way, so I could be right again.

lol

They were slow at loading rides when we were there, and other people seem to say this is normal. Loading a Eurofighter will be even slower.

I just think this is such a bad moved if its true, they need another high capacity ride.
