Dragon Khan boasts eight inversions, which was a world record until the opening of the ten-inversion Colossus in Thorpe Park, United Kingdom in 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ride built by Bolliger &amp; Mabillard (B&amp;M) opened on May 2, 1995 and was one of the two roller coasters that Port Aventura had when it opened. The track is red with white and pastel blue supports; the trains are green blue and purple (A third train is run at peak times only).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Statistics:<\/strong><br><em>Length:<\/em> 4,165 ft<br><em>Height:<\/em> 148 ft<br><em>Drop:<\/em> 161 ft<br><em>Inversions:<\/em> 8<br><em>Speed:<\/em> 65 mph<br><em>Duration:<\/em> 1:45<br><em>Elements:<\/em> Chain Lift Hill, Loop, Dive Loop, Zero-G Roll, Cobra Roll, Block Brake, Loop, Interlocking Corkscrews<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After boarding the ride, riders climb to the top of the lift hill 45 m (148 ft), before plummeting back down to earth and straight into a 36 metres (118 ft) vertical loop. This is immediately followed by a diving loop. Right after this, the track goes through a zero-G roll, and a cobra roll. The track then goes through a midcourse brake run. Off the midcourse brake run, the track drops to the right into a second vertical loop and then finishes off with a pair of interlocking corkscrews. The ride then pulls up into the brake run before re-entering the Chinese-themed station. The track is 1,285 m (4,216 ft), and the ride&#8217;s top speed is over 104 km\/h (65 mph). The ride&#8217;s duration is 1 minute and 45 seconds. The ride, thus far, has more inversions than any other B&amp;M coaster made before or after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-insluiten-handler wp-block-embed-insluiten-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dragon Khan Roller Coaster POV Front Seat View from PortAventura Spain 1080p HD\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4nxPVNM-Leg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More info:<\/strong><br>* <a href=\"http:\/\/rcdb.com\/760.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/rcdb.com\/760.htm<\/a><br>* <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dragon_Khan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dragon_Khan<\/a><br>* <a href=\"https:\/\/www.portaventuraworld.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.portaventuraworld.com\/en<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Khan is a steel sit-down roller coaster located in the PortAventura theme park in Salou (Tarragona), Catalonia, Spain.
