[DKRMacaroni and Donkey]

The supports look white because, as you said, it really needs a paint job. And no, it wasn't a problem with my white balance configuration, they actually look like this...
Also, in the pic you can't really see the detail, but the size of the footers are uber-extremely-mega big, compare them with the truck...

that's true, I was there 4 months ago and it really needs a repaint.

[805AndrewI know more about donkeys than women!]

This ride looks great. Looking forward to riding it next time I'm in Spain. Hopefully it will have great on the 7+ story camel humps.

^Yeah, I think the picture is a little over exposed.

[harper830872 + 2 = donkey!]

This thing looks like it has major potential!! I like the slight alterations on the standard B&M mega layout and the play with Dragon Khan. As for the splashdown/mcbr debate, the element is in a position to be either and I personally don't have an issue with either one.

A use from PAC has posted a picture of the park's skyline after the coaster sits next to Khan.


Not only Khan is completely dwarfed, but it seems non-existant unless you pay attention to it. I really think it's sad to see such a good coaster visually smashed by a steel monster like Shambhala. Don't get me wrong; PA is stepping in the right direction adding a much needed and supposedly good ride to their line-up but, seriously, next to Khan?

Kingda Ka dwarfing El Toro and Nitro does not ruin either of those coasters in my opinion.

[Dragon KhanWhen I grow up, I want to breed donkeys!]

Moreover I think this is WAY exagerated, as Khan's lift is 45 meters tall with a drop of 49 meters, and the future ride with its 76 meter lift will never look that big. Also, the perspective is pure guess. Just a fan's drawing, which may or may not look like the real thing... There are plenty of those on the dedicated webpage, some look great, some ugly. But seriously, compared to µKhan, the one drawn here looks taller than i305 ...

^^ I think he means because its right over DK.

Nitro may be half as tall as KK, but they are on separate ends of the park. El Toro was also built after Kingda Ka, so it's not like KK did any hard to it. If anything, El Toro dwarfed Rolling Thunder.

When I think of dwarfing a ride, it would be a Shambhala-Dragon Khan, Iron Dragon-Mantis, Revolution-Tatsu, Goliath-Colossus situation because they are all right next to each other. The ride that does not gain the benefits is the one whose new experience involves going through the supports of the giant above it.
