Dragon Khan roller coaster[edit]

The Dragon Khan roller coaster in Port Aventura, Spain can be seen clearly in any part of the park. It is one of the park's most intense roller coasters. This image shows some of the roller coaster and reminds us of the intensity and happiness of it.

Oppose. Not striking. Alr 23:25, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too much of that street in the foreground, if roller coaster was a close up, I would support. Anchorage 12:07, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
User:Vanderdecken/Oppose As above. Good pic, but not good enough for FPC. —Vanderdecken∴∫ξ φ 12:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose annoying foreground, part of the 'coaster is chopped off and the image needs rotating a bit so the vertical things are actually vertical. chowells 14:22, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The photo's subject isn't sufficiently high res to see its details. Also, the trees on the left obscure too much of the rollercoaster. enochlau (talk) 14:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Foreground it too busy. ^KILO-_LIMA 21:15, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
oppose It is too far away and provides too many distractions.--Ali K 05:10, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, I could forgive having stuff in the foreground, but this image doesn't even show the whole coaster. It's cut off on the left. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:35, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Unexceptional. Camerafiend 19:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I rode that rollercoaster. I waited so I could get in the front car but then the plastic thing that keeps you from falling out wouldn't go down so the guy had to slam a few times to make it click. That was all that was holding me in from instant death so I was kind of scared. I was holding onto the plastic restraint thing for the entire ride because I was so scared it was going to come off. I'm usually not afraid of roller-coaster but man I was worried on that one. Plus it being a foreign country, I didn't know if they had the same saftey standards (if any) as america. Great ride though. 8 loops in unbelievable.--God of War 05:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Watch it - some people could take that safety standards comment as racist. —Vanderdecken∴∫ξ φ 15:23, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's a bit harsh. Paternalistic maybe, but not racist. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 19:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I want to hear you talk that PC nonsense when you're strapped into this 80 mile an hour death machine. All of a sudden all that stuff doesn't matter.--God of War 21:46, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - I love roller coasters though! --Thorpe | talk 16:36, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - How is not knowing local legislation, racist? Some people can take just about anything as racist, but that doesn't mean it is.--Lewk_of_Serthic 00:25, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
