In alignment with the Eastern tradition initiated by Buddha, we celebrate 2024 as the year of the dragon. During this special time, one attraction in PortAventura World stands out: Dragon Khan. This roller coaster embodies the essence of the dragon through its impressive eight inversions and breathtaking speeds.

Eastern Tradition Meets Modern Engineering

When Buddha called the animals to bid farewell to the earth, only 12 species appeared. These were designated as the twelve zodiac signs of the Chinese horoscope, among which the dragon is one of the most powerful symbols. In 2024, the year of the dragon, Dragon Khan at PortAventura World, takes center stage in the celebrations, reflecting the strength and mystique of this legendary creature.

Dragon Khan: A Landmark Since 1995

Since the opening of PortAventura World on May 1, 1995, Dragon Khan has been a symbol of adventure and record-breaking achievements. With the highest loop in the world at the time and a total of 8 inversions, a top speed of 110 km/h, and a maximum height of 45 meters, this roller coaster set new standards in the world of amusement parks.

A Unique Riding Experience with Historical Background

The ride on Dragon Khan begins with a unique predrop, which provides an additional adrenaline rush and highlights the engineering prowess behind this construction. This feature reduces the tension in the chain and increases the safety of the ride.

The Legend of Dragon Khan

In the China area of PortAventura, within the temple of the first emperor, the story of Prince Hu is told. After a failed attempt to dethrone the emperor, Hu was transformed into a dragon. This legend is reflected in the wild and breathtaking twists of the roller coaster, immersing travelers in the deep emotions and story of the banished prince.

The year of the dragon calls for bravely facing new challenges and experiencing unforgettable adventures. PortAventura World invites everyone to spread their wings wide and venture onto Dragon Khan.
