Port Aventura |"Shambhala"| B&M Hyper

As you can see, a lot of support work is happening at the site. Yay.
 
Shambhala already looks huge!

This is one coaster I really look forward to experience,
And I really like following the construction of Europe's new record breaker.

It's going to be the my first B&M Mega Coaster,
and I'm so glad we're getting the tallest B&M Mega ever build, in Europe.
 
It's official, fourth support up!

Only one more support and the lift wil be topped off! I can't believe how tall this is looking already... :)
 
I love how the support crosses over Dragon Khans drop.

I can't help but imagine how big this is going to look, I must admit, Dragon Khan looks a lot larger when you're actually there than on photos, so Shambhala is going to look so much more impressive.

WOW! I can't believe how big this is going to look. I remember seeing DK in real life and thinking it was insanely huge. This will be unbelievably tall!

Booked my plane tickets already for a trip out there in the summer.

That dive loop is pretty damn tall, and seeing that the helix will be as high, and definitely much faster is very exciting :D

THAT is the money shot I've been waiting for. All the other pictues almost showed the lift hills going up next to each other and I wasn't too keen on it, but that view is great.

You do realise that's like HALF the Helix? It's the back-side of it, the actual highpoint will be the opposite side of the tallest support? I'm SURE that's what the layout model shown...
 
Update: Shambhala's tallest support is being installed right now. Construction on Shambhala's first and tallest hill is also starting today... I am sure someone from PA-Community or PA-Fans will drop by the park to snap some pictures... :)

At this pace, RCS are going to finish the coaster by mid-March...

The support crosses over Khan? Didn't realise that!

God this looks awesome, now THAT'S what you call a coaster corner Alton.

The trough comes *scarely* close to Khan's lift. (Before you jump on me, I know it's completey safe and it's just the angle.)

Supports for the first airtime hill (?)

People inspecting what has already been assembled (Notice how massive the coaster looks next to those people <3)

Last support from the lift hill going up!
 
Is there not a chance it could drip oil from the chain down onto Khan/it's riders? [/PossibleIgnorance]

I suppose so. It could, but that's a problem everywhere for any coasters that interact with others, I suppose?

Also,

It's Spain, they don't care. Ha!
