Real Madrid World | Hala Madrid | GCI Wooden Hybrid Coaster | 2024

The lift hill's pretty steep too. Could this be the debut of the Infinity flyers? The elements look a little more intense than usual for a GCI.

It was supposed to have the world record for the most airtime ever.

We are talking about taking over Voyage stunning 24 seconds of airtime. Really? The ride doesn't even seem that long.

Airtime moments, I believe. Not the quantity of airtime itself.

Ah yes. I think that’s correct. But not heard it mentioned for a while.

I did have someone form marketing tell me it was going to be the longest roller coaster in the world. lol

Skyline have released a newsletter, which confirms that this coaster will boast 33 moments of airtime, more than any on any wooden coaster in the world:-

A record-breaking wooden roller coaster at Bollywood Parks Dubai is nearing completion and more information is slowly being released. One such piece of info is that this behemoth of a ride will boast 33 discrete moments of airtime, more than any other wooden roller coaster on the planet. Skyline has worked with Great Coasters International over the past few years to bring this one-of-a-kind ride to life, and we cannot wait to see it open soon!

Also **** me that's a steep drop for a GCI:-



I'm almost certain it will be the debut of the Infinity flyers.

 

[Hutch]

That's a pretty sweet-looking drop! Should be great in the back.

What's going on with that middle portion though? There are a fair amount of turns and gentle hills high off the ground, doesn't seem very exciting at that point.

'33 discrete moments of airtime' is that a bad translation or what they really mean?

so the airtime is subtle or not that noticeable? xD

Guess that we'll find out when the POV releases

I’ve got to say, this ride looks like it could be quite something! The layout almost looks like a homage to the good old Cyclone layout in many ways, but hugely upscaled and with a modern twist!

I’m loving the sound of those “33 discrete airtime moments”; GCI are fab at throwing awesome pops of airtime from you out of seemingly nowhere, so I’m gratified to see that Bombay Express looks to embody some of that!

Are any other stats known, out of interest, like height, speed and length?

You are thinking of “discreet” which means subtle or secret. “Discrete” means separate or distinct, which definitely makes more sense in this context.

We don't "know" the height and speed currently, but I worked out, comparing the lift structure to that of Texas Stingray, that the lift hill is about 130ft tall (just shy of Wodan's height as the tallest GCI).

I need to get to Dubai now...

 

[HQCrazyCat]

From this article in Gulf Business...

With a track length over 1km and speed of 88km/h, the coaster will have 33 discrete moments of ‘airtime’, the most in any wooden coaster in the world, and will grant the park its second world record of the year.

1km is about 3300 ft and 88km/h is 55 mph.

 

[ricky coasters]

It's gonna take a whole ton of quick pops of floater for this baby to break the airtime record

33 in fact.

Photos of the John Wick land going up and based on the colors unless the park repainted it I assume that it would have had a Green Lantern theme had Six Flags Dubai not been cancelled.



Apparently they're supposed to open by Expo 2020, whatever that is.

 

[Dubaidave]

Expo 2020 starts on the 1st October. So not long now.

Well, at least Dubai gets one attraction ready for the Expo. I frequent the Skyscrapercity forums a lot, and the number of times I've heard "it will be finished in time for Expo 2020" is somewhat staggering. Particularly since seemingly half of those projects are now abandoned.

Testing is underway and 7 car trains is a new one for GCI;
