    Airtimes Comfort Duration

    Perfection. I've had 100's of rides on Shambhala, in every seat no doubt. But nothing, and I mean nothing comes close to a back row ride on Shambhala (although it's phenomenal in every row, therefore justifying the 5 stars). My last ride was around 8pm after a hot day, the sun was setting over Salou, there was a light haze in the air. Climbing the lift hill whilst looking over at the sea, glittered with the pink and red flecks of the setting sun contrasting against the greenery of the golf courses, etc. I love how as a result of the train length and stadium seating, the back row starts to accelerate before cresting the hill, and what happens afterwards is just pure rollercoaster euphoria..... Colossal first drop, floating all the way down, the airtime is so crazy it makes the head chopper of the tunnel more impactful. Second hill, BOOM, massive flojector again. Unique and foreceful turnaround follows next. Speed hill, ejector. Another big camelback into the splashdown, sensational, floating all the way. More airtime hills. Just epic, in every way.
