Please let me remind everyone that posting an illegal POV of a coaster, that was OBVIOUSLY filmed without permission, can get you banned from these forums.

I really like how Port Aventura is putting all this theming into the coaster as it really adds to the atmosphere.

The photoride is also at place

And the entrance door is finished. Tomorrow we'll discover all the details from inside the new area. Get ready for the thousands of pics and videos of the splashdown!

I wish I could get out to Spain to ride this monster. It looks absolutely amazing.

I just wish they would have left the "Shambhala" and "Port Aventura" decals off of the zero car, it ruins it's essence in my opinion.

I really want to know how the forces are in the "ampersand" double helix.

Agreed, it looked so much better without them. Love the colour of those trains though. Can't wait for a proper POV! Hopefully one gets posted tomorrow to coincide with the opening day.

I have to say that's actually a much better effect than the usual scoop it up behind, must be great to have walls of water alongside you. I'm still bitter about missing out on this by 1 week :-(

It looks really dumb though. If the water had been closer to the track, i.e. Diamondback, and the fake-splash sent water outwards, it might look fine. But this just looks fake.
