Just seeing those pics of Acrophobia make me hurt. This should be an excellant ride. I think it's cool that it has special effect buildings. I wish I could get out there to ride it when its open.

No, I am pretty sure all you do is drop on this one. The multielement part is the different seating arrangements on the different sides of the tower.

The stand up floorless cars do NOT hurt from what I've heard.

Stand Up Floorless? Do they give you cups at the entrance?

Sweet sweet addition, I don't believe we have an Intamin drop tower quite like that one in the U.S., do we? The name really interests me though, because I while wasp laying some RCT about a year ago I was looking for names for my coasters and I had like an Aztec or Mayan themed wood twister and I used the name Hurakan. I'm happy the name is being used in some way, futhers my belief that I have great ideas.

This is probably one of the tallest in the world. Only the double drop in WBMWmadrid (320ft) and the double drop at knotts are close.

I might to the park this summer.......but this is the only new thing they have added in ages, DK and stampidia are good but were built ages. The park really needs some flats, its got almost nothing. The scenery is really good, lots of amazing shows, its really a family park though. WBMW is much better i think...

Depends where your going, spain is a big place. As you can see from the photos, its in the middle of nowhere....theres a train and bus but they take a while from the nearest city (train over an hour, bus 2)
