That is terrible because someone could've been seriously hurt. The fact that you must balace yourself to get out the boat on those narrow ledges. Why wasn't an e-stop pressed and water drained like in raft rides. I gasped when I saw the boats collide and the guy almost got hit by the moving boat.

My gosh, PA is very fortunate that there weren't more serious injuries.

The park is extremely lucky no one got injured/killed. What I don't get is why the rides computer let another boat leave the lift when the other hadn't cleared the run out.

Exactly... I have worked some of these water rides.. .and even I, wouldn't want to be out there standing on those ledges... The Reserviors can be pretty deep. Looks like they need to close the ride down and re-investigate.... possible move some proxies around so that a boat is not allowed to clear the lift until the run out is completely clear.

Today Shambhala has got the longest queue since opening day (and it's not a bank or national holiday).

On top of this, PA are working on the lighting in the splash pond so it has been drained and, thus, there is no splash...

How long was the wait today? I'm going during summer, so gearing up for some crazy wait times.

The day of that photo the waiting time was 3 hours. However, I think in summer it will be a little less (maybe 2 hours?) 'cause these days a lot of schools have gone to the park.

Finally we've got the chance to see all the new area at night. Shambhala train has orange LEDs in the front, plus the white ligths from the ridercam. Also the sides of the trains have lights, but they're not working yet. Source: pa-community.

^Very cool, thanks for the pics. I like how the water is dark until the train goes through. Does anyone know if Manta (Orlando) does the same thing?
