Shambhala Ride

Among the ancient myths of Himalayas appears a lost paradise, surrounded by impregnable mountains. For thousands of years different stories were told about this place beyond Tibet, among the majestic peaks and remote valleys of Central Asia, that persists as an inaccessible paradise. This land was described as a heart of happiness and eternal youth. It's a hidden world which seems impossible to access. It's like mirages, it's there and it's not. In his novel the Russian spiritualist Nikolai Roerich speaks about Agharti (name of the Buddhist underground paradise) as a seat of the king of the world. According to Roerich, Agharti was related to every continent through secret passages. This place is known as Shambhala.

It's a rollercoaster of the group "hypercoasters" which is characterized by huge size and height, a long run, and its possibility to reach an impressive speed. The run of the roller coaster is over 1,650 meters, for which were necessary more than 1,600 tons of steel for the structure. We used over 4,000 m3 of concrete for foundations that in some places reach 18 meters deep. The attraction beats three European records:

The highest rollercoaster in Europe (76 meters)

Rollercoaster with the longest fall in Europe (78 meters)

The fastest European hypercoaster, it will reach 134 km / h on the first descent.
