Port Aventura |"Shambhala"| B&M Hyper

Remember the video/photos of the trains when they were delivered?

There seemed to be some holes in the zero car. I was wondering why and the answer could be an onboard lighting system, like Hollywood Dream The Ride.

Look carefully and you'll spot the same reflection in different angles... Suspicious?

I hope it really is a LED system because this would make the trains look SO cool at night.

BTW, Shambhala will be officially launched on Saturday 12th by Artur Mas, President of the Catalan Government.
 
I thought that on the Ampersand on the video. I just thought it was catching the setting sun in a magnificent way. If it's not and it's got lights, even better <3 <3 <3

PA's theming makes the Merlin efforts look silly.

The whole plaza looks great.

Just uploading this picture as it shows the "Holes" on the front car that look like they could be LED's of some kind. It's just a clearer image than any we've seen so far.
 
Those holes look like fake bolts to give it 'that' kind of feel to the train. I hope it is lights though.
 
^ Possibly, but it fits in with the other images of the travelling train and would give the explanation as to the colouring of the lights (wether caching the setting sun or artificial).

Trains were stopped on the lift hill throughout the day to train the crew:

DK's old gift shop has got a makeover. I guess now we will be able to buy gifts from both roller coasters, Shambhala and DK.

And finally, veronika (from PA-C) has apparently spotted trains running with headlights. When the trains reached the ampersand a set of LEDs started to flash in the zero car as well. I really hope this is true because this would be icing on the cake :)

Can't wait for Saturday!
 
Ok so i'm just curious, can anybody tell me why it's called an ampersand turnaround, and who decided to name it that. Because I see no correlation between it and ampersand mountain, and i don't know what else it could possibly be correlated with
 
^ That link didn't work for me, so if your the same as me...

The ride area looks absolutely stunning and just think how much better it'll look in three week's time when everyone has had a chance to scrawl graffiti all over it? Superb!
