God hope this turns out to be true! Love Port Aventura and they could really do with another good coaster to add to their line-up. A flyer or Dive Machine would both be fantastic additions to the park.
Also B&M sure is getting busy in Europe lately with the addition of Raptor and Krake this year and Parc Asterix's Invert and LC10 next year! Definitely heading back there next year if true

Hi,
Thanks for the link to my site. My apologize for not posting the info in english but, you know, the time...
The info that we have is that Dragon Khan probably will be stopped because the construction of the new ride. Rumors point that the new ride layout, or part of it will be very close of dragon khan.
The ride will be located in a new area.
As soon as we have any news, ill try to post them here.
PD: Sorry for my english

Your English is fantastic. Much better then most of our Spanish anyhow
I do hope they do open a new 'Land'. I know it was mentioned a long time ago that they were going to add that "Amazonia" area, or whatever it was going to be. I think it would fit in perfect. The only problem is that I am sure it was going to be where the new Barrio Sesame thing is. Hopefully it goes the other side of that where that HUGE baron area at the side of Khan is.

Re: [Rumour] 2012 B&M for Port Aventura
I think that a flyer would suit the park better since it would be more distinct different than Dragon Khan. But if the "record drop" equals 73 m (10 m taller than Griffon, so quite possible) and as a result becomes the tallest ride in europe (taller than Silver Star) it'll be a great opportunity for PA as they can advertise themselves as having both the fastest (Baco) and tallest (new DM) ride in europe!Ian said:
A new area would be great but I doubt it. I believe the location in Polynesia next to Sesame Street is correct. Look at the picture below (taken from Tower Times). There's plenty of space for a new ride, the squareish footprint would suit a big dive machine perfectly!tucoaster said:

The ride is rumoured to be intertwined with Khan ala Dueling Dragons at some points (that doesn't mean they are turning Khan into a dueling coaster). The latest rumours also point out that Fumanchu (Wave Swinger) sitting next to Khan is going to be removed/relocated somewhere else to make room for one of the turns/elements.
According to PA-C, construction should start around May. Can't wait!

Update (again, these are only rumours):
- According to the latest ride description, the ride will be VERY tall (between 75 and 94 meters) becoming Europe's tallest coaster and entering the top 10 of the world's tallest coasters. (I hope it's a giga).
- The ride will not feature inversions.
- The layout will be over 1.000 meters long and it has been said that it could be going from China to Tutuki Splash (for those familiar with the park this is a HUUUUGE and long stretch).
- The coaster will go under Khan's first drop and over the lift hill (maybe that's why Fumanchu needs to go). Some people talk about an overbanked turn.
- There might be a tunnel or a splash element.
I think we can rule out a flying coaster (shame!) and a DM (no inversions and layout seems to long for that model). The only thing I am positive is that this will be massive.
For now, PA have been really quiet about the project (just like any former projects) but an announcement is expected between June and July (once the school trips are over). I can't wait!
