Dan9 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 A timelapse of the Shambala construction! Such a stunning sight, the twisty Kahn and the pure domination of Shambhalalalalalalalala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Nice quality POV... I think the simulated splashdown suits the Mega coasters better, it looked a bit silly when half the train had already left the pool when Diamondback's splash started...

Sidders Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 That genuinely does look like one of the best B&M Hypers for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Shambhala definitely looks like the best new B&M for 2012, love the way it seems to use it's height so well, and still enter the brakes with a huge amount of speed, losing NONE of it in the MCBR (which, oddly is very close to the end of the ride...), looks like a brilliant hyper coaster!

AstroDan Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hmm. Not sure I can say whether this or Oz'Iris look better! This does look excellent, I have to say. Aside from the theming which seems to be less than I originally expected, looks like a speed fest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Shambhala definitely looks like the best new B&M for 2012, Never say that until you've ridden more then one of the 2012 lot. Shambhala looks class though, nice length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentez Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QiQwcRb56Gw Good gravy! Glad nobody was hurt, looks like the water levels were too high and the boats skimmed it on touchdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad nobody was hurt, looks like the water levels were too high and the boats skimmed it on touchdown. Can you imagine the uproar if that had happened over here on say, Tidal Wave. Looked like quite a bump from the 2nd boat, I'm surprised nobody was hurt. Glad, but surprised. th13teen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th13teen Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Wow, that Tutuki Splash incident was certainly cause for concern! It only would have taken one loose leg to fall between the concrete and the boat when the second hit, and that could have been goodbye leg!! Jesus, thats a little worry! I hope those guests at least got complementary fastrack to ride Tutuki Splash later! ...before anyone says anything, yes I know, obviously the ride would have been shut! Although knowing the spanish, they would have just given it a kick and it would have opened again!...I joke! On another note, if you have not heard PA new theme song for this year, its brilliant and its played as there main song for there main show 'Music Generation' which is fantastic, and easily a predicessor to China Town! Here is the song They also play it as one of the main songs at the end of the day parade! Overall its a great song, and really suits! Also the Music Generation show is a complete MUST if you plan to go, I don't care if you wan't to go on another ride, you MUST go and watch the show, it really is fantastic, and its in the Gran Imperial Theatro, so you know its going to be one of the main shows, and obviously good! We saw it 3 times when I went this year! Just enjoy it, and do listen to it, especially if you plan to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks to PA community. Shambhala's queue yesterday, 2 and a half hour queue. Thats with all three trains running as well. th13teen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I've seen a 2 and a half hour Baco queue going through most of the 'Vineyard' sections in the heat of summer. PA queues make me shudder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th13teen Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 That is a hideous thought!!!! We all know that under that roof is thousands of non-stop zig zags, with the heat of spain aswell as the heat of thousands of people!!! No thank you! I don't care how amazing it is!!! I would rather die! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam P Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I will say when we were there at the beginning of the month, the 2 hour queue looked massive, but on single rider I got on within 5 minutes, batching was very good thank god as it was so hot, and the cattle pen queues are terrible.

Stokesyboy Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Had an excellent time last week! The first 2 days we were there we brought the 51 euro express passes and that helped a hell of a lot! 40+ rides on the first day including 15 on Shambhala! Weather was perfect and saw some great shows! Shambhala was incredible, so much airtime, smooth and quiet it's just like the perfect coaster!! I was a bit scared of the height of Hurakan Condor on the first day but was tempted on it on the second day and got standing (Just what you want on your first go!) and it was pretty good but when your dropping it just doesn't seem as forceful as Detonator! Furius Baco was brilliant on the first go but the more you go on it the rattlier it gets and by the last go it was just too painful too ride! Which is a shame because the launch on that thing is so quick! Anyway my best pictures can be found on my Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stokesyboy/sets/72157630384521614/ pluk and Tom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 The past few reports I have read about PA have all involved the €51 queue jump pass. The queues otherwise, for those not using the pass, just seem horrendous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Dunno why people are spending €51 on a queue jump pass when they could just pretend to be Spanish and queue jump for free? Cornflakes, AstroDan, Tom and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 To be honest I didn't see any queue jumping and when it did happen the Staff noticed it and were stopping them getting on the rides and sending them back round to rejoin the queue. Queue times weren't that bad but seeing as it was a 3 day holiday we wanted to make the most of it and get on as many rides as possible in the 14 hours. Biggest queue's I saw was around 2 hours for Tutuki Splash, 1:45 for Furius Baco, 1:30 Dragon Khan, 45 Hurakan Condor, 1:45 Shambhala, and that was Wednesday - Friday.

th13teen Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 You had an alright day then at Port Aventura! I hate Furius Baco, its soooo boring, and there is nothing too it, and the launch is not as good as Stealth in my opinion! Condor, is not as forceful as Detonator because Det pushes you downwards whereas Condor just lets you drop! The fastracks are getting more expensive and more popular, because of what they offer, also the Hotels have stopped offering them free for PA hotel guests!
