I think it is/was a fun ride (but it has been 3 years) the launch was surprising the first airtime hill was ejector style and then it went from one bit to another.. It's not that long, but well worth the ride when you are in the area -

Early 2009 i basically tried to hit every park (within decent distance) that openened a new coaster in Europe. One of these coasters was Anubis at Plopsaland in Belgium. -

I prefer Shambala to Behemoth (but it has been a while since i've been on Behemoth) It's a tad bit faster it has a funky figure 8 element, a speedhill which produces more then enough airtime a splash and enough other airtime moments... It even looks like the ride is getting faster (and better) during the day -

part2 and up we go (again) more theming splash as seen from the other side looking up this is where you can get your onride picture (and video) another look at the station the exit is below motor time and yes.. it'sway bigger then Khan so this is what a 2 hour wait looks like? view from some extra que area looking at the station from this extra que area blue grey red white.. that's a lot of colors almost looks like a maze with all these supports and the ride has not even started yet.. you still have to go up wheee i believe i can fly and skloosh but Khan still deserves some love as well another look at all the folks waiting to ride overview that's a "close" call getting ready for more air and away they go another bit of theming i see hairtime yup,they are smiling, so i guess they are enjoying the ride yikes, happy it's a close call and not a full wardrobe mishap hmm, airtime the Dragon is still there i don't mind this view Khan is doing it's thing the entrance arch when walking from the other side Helix fun it does look pretty more random things close but no sigar they look so tiny another random bit of theming take the tunnel better look at that globe thingy one more look at the station building theming at the end of the exit that's the end of the ride transfer track it's a different view no collission one final look at that figure 8 and that's it -
Today was the opening of Shambala at Port Aventura in Spain. I was not sure what to expect from this ride, but i can say that i was pleasantly surprised by the ride and the airtime it produces. The first drop in the back is great (as can be expected when being flung over the top of the lifthill) in the front the view down and basically not seeing where you are going is great as well. The speedhill produces a nice amount of air (more extreme then the rest of the ride) and the splash zone is cool due to the fact that the entire train can see it and you are riding that tunnel opposed to creating a "wake" behind you. It's long enough and a lot of fun (i think) Here's the POV And here's a few pictures from today. Enjoy part1 now look at that view but first things first, presentation time a show with fire?? plus just chillin timeline / history of the park theming concept arts technical details about the ride how to explain airtime more details next show, this time music just rocking a breeze is always nice is it time to ride?? more shows lots and lots of camera's important people theming, which confused me for a second.. it's shambala yeah confetti lots and lots of camera's and yes, there were plenty people the suits get to ride the first train front row fun these trains are really pretty an empty station (which was rare for the rest of the day) the new skyline wheee better picture of the entrance portal fake snow always helps the station/que building random riders up the stairs to ride the ride and the express is that way Hi Larry it's a globe.. (i think) for all the nuts and bolt enthusiast walls of water going up going down water spray starts before the train gets to that point don't worry, it's only water look mommy, i'm over here first drop fun is getting started.. second row right: mommy gravity can be very annoying and off they go big drop another train wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen in the distance (helix) i spy hairtime weee sorry Hkan, we won't forget you that is a big drop going up it opened may 12th hello red coaster track plenty of details in the area the water/splash area here they come there is a coaster in this picture

In 2007 during the Midwest trip i had my first experience with Mount Olympus.. 2010's Middle America trip brought me back to this place.. In the end.. i did not ride any coaster during the 2010 stop (as far as i can remember) but i spent all the time there taking some pictures.. Operations are just.. ehm how can i say this nice.. mehh.. But they do have Cyclops there and that one drop is just insane. Over the years i've been able to get "some" pictures of this ride.. I feel like this is one of the best i've taken trying to show the insane amount of airtime enjoy. -

I believe this is old news and these were concepts from at least 1,5 years ago before the park was bought by Parc Reunidos. Not sure if this will happen at all. here's the other topic where these concepts have been mentioned. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=62020 -

Today i bring you an image from the 2008 East Coast trip. Superman Ride of Steel at Six Flags New England. This just shows the insane amount of airtime you can get on this ride, just look closely at the people riding from the front to the back and you should be able to see it. From boobs about to pop out, name tags/jackets flying up and extreme hairtime.. anything that can move.. is going up enjoy -
