Wow! That's a lot of money for what they're getting... But I assume the theming will be extensive! And maybe the cost is for the entire new area?
No announcement on their website though.. I hope they'll reveal the layout and maybe a pov soon
really excited now!!
Ohh! And I noticed the new coaster will be 1 km/h slower than Baco still making Baco the fastest coaster of Europe. Interesting move from PA!

The render is from a news agency with the story
Barcelona. (Editorial) .- The PortAventura theme park will invest 25 million euros in a new attraction, which will start next spring. It is the tallest roller coaster in Europe whose design is provided by the park itself and the company Bollinger & Mabillard, who also designed the Dragon Khan.
PortAventura maintains secrecy and mystery about the name of the new attraction, according to the park, will be related to mountaineering and the Himalaya.
The president of the Generalitat, Artur Mas, has chaired this afternoon the laying of the foundation stone has been used to ensure that investors see in Catalonia "a country open for business and attractive for large projects."
The future new attraction will beat three European records: is the highest in Europe (76 meters) will fall longest in Europe (78 meters) and the European hypercoaster faster and it will reach 134 kilometers per hour on the first run.
But has claimed as key factors for economic reactivation that Catalunya is a business-friendly country and opened for business. "They are two very important things if we want to be attractive for both investors inside and those outside, to be carried acbo illusions and big projects here," he assured.

Re: [Rumour] 2012 B&M for Port Aventura
The event was this morning (3 or 4 hours ago).
It was something like a "lay the foundation stone" thing (sorry for my english). In that event, the park has confirmed some details, but there is no video / layout confirmation.
I hope we'll get something more soon

Thats a better rendering out now.

The picture also seems to indicate a new track type and off-center supports (they lean in different directions). I wouldn't trust that image to be any sort of correct.

Wow what a great theme, all the mountains that are in view from the park will make this fantastic. It's also great that you cannot see the sea from the park as well.
Am really happy that this has been confirmed but have no idea how they will pull that theme off tbh. Will be very interested to see.

Did you guys know that the drop will be 2 metres bigger than the height of the ride? You don't see THAT very often...
Looking good

It's not exactly rare! New Europa Park Woodie... Oblivion, Nemesis, etc.
I'm really excited about this ride, I wonder if their going to build mountains ala Exp. Everest. I also wouldn't trust the rendering to be at all accurate, but the vivid blue is nice.

It is going to look STUNNING behind Dragon Khan. The colour contrast and the sheer size of it. Really cool. I like the theme, It's been done before quite a few times but it works and it's cool.

Re:
Yeah I agree. I live fairly near Stansted, and you can get some cheap flights to Reus off-season. Plus you can get some super cheap hotels in Salou (Hotel Euro-salou was pretty nice for the price). All in all works out cheaper than going to some of the more northern UK parks for us living in the south.
Very glad this has been confirmed. Hopefully they'll pull off the theme.
Not sure what I'm more excited about now, this or The Swarm!

Awesome! I'm so happy it's the coaster we all wanted and it's going to really put PA as one of the best parks in Europe.
PA trip next year is an absolute must now.
I guess construction should start pretty soon if it's to open for next year. looking forward to following it, were pretty spoilt next year with this and Swarm!
