					 Description DescriptionThe Havana city council wanted to have something extra to attract tourists. Theythought adding a roller coaster in the port would be excellent but due to the trade embargothey could not order a brand new roller coaster from one manufacturer. So they’ve put theirengineers to work and they ordered multiple pieces of old existing roller coasters from allover the world. The process took many years until they had all the pieces they needed tobuild the roller coaster the engineers had designed to fit in the city area. From all the piecesof different roller coaster track they made ‘La Estrella Habana’, going over and nearbuildings. Some houses had to be destroyed but that’s the sacrifice Havana residents had totake. Obligated by the city council of course

I adore the cruise terminal in Puerta Vieja. IMO it was an easy best architecture nom for 2020 awards, and a better capture of the eclectic and powerful styles of Cuba than maravillas or parque de la habana. I know it got knocked for some bad angles and sloppiness, but it really is a step above to assemble contemporary, Spanish colonial, and socialist structures into a cohesive picture.
Thanks man, that's exactly what we were going for with its direction. We both contributed a lot to that structure - so it was a fun exercise in teamwork.
There's a lot of crumbled rocks / ruins in the water to show that a lot of the older structure was demolished during its renovation to make way for some of the more modern terminal style.
