Hurakan Condor is a 'giant drop' ride located in PortAventura, Spain. It was manufactured by Intamin AG, consists of 5 cars around a central tube which is around 376 feet (115 m) tall. Riders are four abreast and are brought to a height of 283 feet (86 m) by a coupler. The car slowly tilts forward as it climbs the last few feet. As the camera flash goes off, the coupler detaches, letting riders freefall around 282 feet (86 m) at 71.46 miles per hour (115.00 km/h). The car then slowly drops back into the station. The ride and queues are intensively themed around a Mexican background, in order to fit in with the Mexico area of the park. Depending on which side of the tower the rider boards the ride experience differs greatly. Riders can either sit regularly, sit in tilting seats or ride standing, but without a floor. However, on busy days, riders do not get to choose as staff place the guests in any seat they wish.
