Isn't this ment to be about Shambhala, not Khans paint job.
Im not trying to be funny but if you are that interested in Khans paint job make a new topic for it.

In terms of Shambhala, this is a strange question, or rather a hand-to-answer question that only our Spanish members may know; When is the expected completion of the coaster? Or rather, when are they planning on construction? I was just wondering if anything has been mentioned on one of the forums as everything that was said so far about the said coaster, has come true.
**** off. Yes, whilst you're right, it's not your position to tell anybody that, stop trying to be a mod, you're far from it.owenrita121 said:

Some sources tell that Dragon Khan should have been closed at the beginning of November, so I guess they are about 15-20 days behind schedule. That being said, I am sure RCS will make up for it by working really fast.
According to what PA-C posted (schedule for the coaster):
- October: footers
- November: station work
- December: lift hill and start of the rest of the layout
- January: rest of the layout + first train arrives at the park for assembly
- April: first tests on the 15th
- May: opening on the 15h
BTW, here come some new photos from the area from today (this week PA's open every day so expect more pictures):
Base of lift hill
Kickers and brakes (station and service brakes area)

I'm guessing the first drop starts just above Khan's so there's obviously no problem there, and the second part underneath, seeing as there's a curve and there is enough height on khan in that place, then that could be the splashdown, if not, it goes above and that's the MCBR.

I don't mean to be an ***hole but these are supports.
I am glad that finally something's actually happening and not just mud/dirt...
PA-C has also shot a video showing these supports and the paintjob on Khan.

I have the feeling that the transfer area will be quite special. I don't think that there will be three bits of storage track like in other B&Ms but rather two (one holding two trains in line) on one side of the main track and another one to the other side holding a third train.

Has anyone else ever got the bus from Salou to Tarragona? If so then you probably remember the road that runs behind PA and where you can get an excellent view of Dragon Khan from the back. Now imagine what this thing is going to look like from this angle. Due to it being on a hill with basically nothing but a few shrubs to obscure the view, it's going to look incredible. Excited! I'm also rather geekily very excited about DK's new paint job.
[Edit] you can see the road I'm on about in the first picture in 'tucoaster's' post (the one showing DK's paint job) and I was wrong about the shrubs, they're actually small trees but still, they won't obscure the view...

I think the two rides are going to look incredible from a distance, it'll be like Leviathan and Behemoth at CW....
