I reckon it'll actually improve Khan's image to newcomers somewhat. If this dwarves it (as it appears it will do) then Khan will pack a mighty surprise for those who don't expect much from it because of the size difference.
If they think Khan still is 'huge', then think what they might think of the new ride.
Also. Think of the views you're going to get. At night. At the front.

That looks quite small for the second element, so thats either going to be uber forceful, or we have trims like Thirteen....

I just wanted to come in and trolololol and tell you all that Dragon Khan is rubbish.
But omg doesn't this look amazing from a visual perspective. Not convinced it will be interesting ride wise at all, but visually it's incredible. Fantastic colour and I love the location. Putting it next to Khan is a great idea, it says "YOU THOUGHT KHAN WAS BIG? WAIT TILL YOU SEE THIS LOLOLOL" and size can only ever be judged by comparison. At Cedar Point, everything feels small because of MF and TTD.

lol Shamby.
It will have quite the domineering effect on the skyline and views from around the park.
Id like to travel there one day ..... everything is just so far from Australia, so i'll take what the US can give me
That turn-around by the way looks REALLY fab!
Not B&M's usual work, which makes me very excited ..... because their usual work was amazing enough!
Hopefully we get a proper layout of Shambhala soon?
Anyone know if plans have been leaked? or whatever .....

Break me off a piece of that!
D1993: That aerial drawing that showed the layout in green is as good as you're going to get as for layout right now.

The whole ride to me reminds me of Goliath SFOG, with the Helix and no MCBR and thats no bad thing! would love to see a top 10 Coaster at PA. And Bollocks to the skyline, I love everything about Khan as my profile says but i couldn't give a damn whether this dwarfs it or not. DK is still there, Its still going to ride exactly the same if not better with the ride interaction, and its even going to get some TLC in the closed season, So seriously guys....Chill!

Yep that is how I saw that element going as well. I think that is is alot larger than it looks in that drawing, keep in mind that is really the second element in the ride and it is coming off of a 100+ foot hill. I don't think it will be trimmed. Also if you look at the layout of the ride it appears that the lines that are perpendicular to the track shows the banking of the track, and this element has some pretty serious banking.

About trims.
Yes, it WILL have trims. And when we see them, can we please post like people with brains and not moan about them.
Trims are as much a part of B&M Hypers as lift hills now. They're NOT there to tame some designer's wild fantasies, but to make sure the ride runs as it was meant to. So there's no point moaning about them. We know they'll be there, and it'll still be awesome, just accept it. Hell, Behemoth has three and that ride's off the hook.

Construction only just starting and already onto trims. Most trims nowadays are magnetic so it's not as noticeable (apparently) as the older hydraulic ones.
Bad point about this ride is that it is still over the other side of the park, eurgh, burdensome journey....next to Khan.

^The trims on Expedition GeForce are magnetic as well and very noticable! And they absolutely kill any possible airtime the last bunny hills would've had..
I'm not afraid of trims on Shambhala though, it can't possibly be worse than Silver Star! ^^
