Shambhala compliments Khan. This compliments the corporate sponsorship and literally nothing else.

This is a giant, bright red Ferrari advertisement. Nobody will change and say "It compliments the surroundings nicely". It'll stay as a bright red Ferrari advertisement until it turns into a dull, sunbleached red Ferrari advertisement. I seriously doubt people will change with this. We hated it when it was announced, and we still hate it.

I do personally think that one of the reason why we hate this new coaster so much is the fact that we got an inferior product to what has been constructed for the rest of the world. It wouldn't be so much of an eyesore had we got something more substantial, with the cable launch technology we expect with this type of coaster.
I think THAT is a huge factor as to why most people hate it. Ruining the skyline for something so uninspired.

^That's a good point actually. Having taken a look at the park a few weeks ago, the tower itself actually, dare I say it, looks quite good in the flesh (even with the new track style and ferrari logos), but it's the rest of the coaster that sticks out. Having done Ispeed which clocks 62.1 mph in 2.2 seconds I'm not too concerned about the LSM launch to be honest (it'll still be doing 111 mph which is a thrill in itself), but it's the supports of the lower track sections and that stupid 'bunny hop?' at the end which ruin it. It would have been so much nicer if they added a more substantial airtime hill...or even reduce the height to about 300ft and add something a bit more interesting like a high speed turn. Or just build a Formula Rossa clone instead 
Unfortunately, it is all very visible though....
From near our apartment...
...And even from Salou's beach!
I also filmed a construction update if anyone's interested:

On a side note, having ridden the vile heap of **** that is Furius Baco, with this massively superior (well, hopefully, unless it really does ride like it looks) going up next door, I can't help but wonder how much of a future Furius Baco has in the tank without a serious overhaul.

Not sure if anyone is bothering about this anymore but the coaster has lap bars! At least that's a plus!

Idk, those look like vests to me.
Which makes it even worse.

I'd believe you if it weren't for this black vest-like thing on the restraint:

^ That is most likely the seat itself.
Great to see that they're going with an awesome train design like Ferrari World.

You're looking at the back of the seat!
I assume in terms of seating and restraints, this will be the same as Taron but with the seats not elevated as high above the track I would imagine.

Well god damn I feel inept.
My expectations for this are still lower than the Mariana Trench.
