Hey, I usually don't do this but I'm very inexperienced in this area of Spanish.

We're doing a presentation on a topic of our choice and I'm going to be showing videos of some roller coasters from Spain.

I don't know how somebody says "Furius Baco opened in 2007. It is __ feet tall."

Furius Baco (PortAventura)
Dragon Khan (PortAventura
Abismo (Parque de Attraciones Madrid)

All I need is a paragraph telling about the ride. I can do the rest.

Again, I usually don't look for this sort of help with school projects, but I thought this would be a good time to use the forum's help!

If you could do this for me I will give you the Kingdom de Espana download before anyone else!

Thanks!

1) Probably not the right section for this, but I'm not positive.

2) Are you saying you want US to write this paragraph for you?

would you say 2007 as "veintecerosiete"?

No, I still have to write a report, prepare the presentation, etc. I'm not sure how people in Spain would say "Abismo is 100 feet tall."

If I wanted you to write the paragraph for me, I'd have anyone with any knowledge of Spanish to write it. :)

Rocknguitar and supermariofan, I appreciate the effort, but I need someone who is from Spain or is a native Spanish speaker.

And no, 2007 is not "veintecerosiete".

Furius baco Se abrió en 2007 (dos-Mil(pronounced as like the word kneel(except with a M)) siete). Tiene -- Pies de altura.

I ain't native spanish, but I've been living in spain for 6 years now, so I should be good enough.


EDIT: about the paragraph of the coasters, does it need to be in spanish or english.

Try an online translator. There are quite a few out there.

^But when you usually translate it on one of those, if you speak spanish, it looks like it's "Furious backo's door open 2007, it it is __foots tall"
o_O Not exactly grammatically correct.

Really all I need is a few sentences with the actual stats about the ride. I can fill in the rest.

Sounds like cheating to me.

Well, if it is - this would probably be the worst "cheating" I've ever done so I think I'll be alright.

If you can't help me out, please don't post.

It should be noted that Furious Baco is already in Spanish. In English it is rendered as Angry Bacon.
