Khan's colors looks amazing, Shambhala's colors are pretty ugly. Who come's up with the idea of mixing white and turquoise for track? Ewwww.

Sorry but this is not the official recreation. In fact, PA hasn't released any press material other than the artwork showing the train going down the first drop.

 

Good work, anyway! I hope the tunnels and splash come true.

I Know this is not the official recreation of PA, is the official recreation of PAC (Parks & Attractions Community).

To the sky!

^In the future, feel free to edit your original post and add the video rather than double posting like that.

Anyone know how steep the lift will be? To me it looks to be just under 45 degrees.

Here are some recent photos from Harman @ pafans.com dated today! Some supports start raising!

A friend of mine is in FITUR (International Tourism Trade Fair) and has sent me the following picture.

 

This pretty much confirms the tunnel on the first drop (head chopper anyone?), the shape of the helix, a "speed hump", the splash and the MCBR almost at the end (like Carowinds' Intmimidator). Also note the station looks like a refuge.

 

As for construction itself, recent updates show that supports are being placed for the first airtime hill and the helix is progressing nicely (at least the lower parts).

Isn't that just a fan drawing of the element? Imo that element doesn't look very realistic to me and I agree that from the over head layout the park released it looks more like the SFOG Goliath helix.

 

This image is of a fan ... non-project ...

I believe that the helix will eat Goliath of SFOG.

 

Your drawing is wrong ... that's all I understand.

 

Well... you were all wrong!

Thanks Oriolat for the pic!

Woah, both model and logo look awesome much better than the older one!

[cal1br3tto]

I'm glad they really are going to call it "Shambhala". I don't know how any other name could top that.

[brisingr25]

This is awesome!!!!

 

I want more Shambhala!

[Bryce232]

PAC posted his official simulation about Shambhala!!!!!!

 

 

 

In case anyone missed this video, it shows a very (maybe perfectly) accurate recreation of what we've now seen. With this layout, this could be one of the most original B&M-hyper layouts I've seen in a while!

[Dj-Javixxxxx]

Another pic of Fitur model, shared by Skorzo @ twitter!

 

[UrbanLegend]

^ Is it just me or does Dragon Khan's cobra roll look really wonky in that picture?

[ntweisen]

Do I spy a splash down element or two?

[Lamoure]

^Yes, you're right One is confirmed by the park and also can be seen in the video.

[Dj-Javixxxxx]

Daily pics! (date 19-jan-2012). Photos from Harman @ pafans.com. More supports raising!
