Stampida
Stampida is a racing, wooden roller coaster built by Custom Coasters International at PortAventura Park in the resort PortAventura World, Salou, Catalonia, Spain. It is a very rickety roller coaster with many drops and 2 tunnels. It features two parallel tracks with blue and red cars each one, but then they run separately for a while. Finally, they come parallel again to the end of the ride. It shares a part of its route with a kiddie wooden roller coaster named Tomahawk.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: Which makes it nightmarishly complex to do anything.
gollark: In some cases you need to unglue the screen or something crazy.
gollark: Yes, it's just much harder and requires expensive equipment/
gollark: It was not "necessary". Maybe it reduced cost slightly, but it really reads more like "planned obsolescence" than "useful change".
