Dragon Khan is a steel sit-down roller coaster located in the PortAventura theme park in Salou (Tarragona), Catalonia, Spain. Dragon Khan boasts eight inversions, which was a world record until the opening of the ten-loop Colossus in Thorpe Park, United Kingdom in 2002. The ride, thus far, has more inversions than any other B&M coaster made before or after The ride has a total of three trains, each containing seven cars. Riders are arranged four across in a single row for a total of 28 riders per train.

This ride seems very overshadowed by Shambala now and rather rough for a B&M.
Looks to have a great headchopper with one of Shambala's supports on the first drop

I defiantly agree that Dragon Khan is extremely over shadowed by Shambhala. And as this coaster is 17 years old, I think it was guaranteed to get a bit rough.

Is it really? Knew was old but I thought it was from around '97.

Yea, it is. The only problem with some B&M Coasters is that they don't age well.

Yea, Raptor at CP is apparently showing it's age as well. Nemesis is going fine though.
