Shambhala, Steel hypercoaster at PortAventura Park in Salou, Spain.
The roller coaster stretches across 1564 meters of track, featuring five camelback hills and reaching speeds of 134 kilometers per hour.
Upon its opening in May 2012, this Bolliger & Mabillard creation held the records for Europe's tallest, longest drop, and fastest hypercoaster.
The design draws inspiration from a mythical Himalayan kingdom, incorporating Asian architectural elements throughout the queueing area and station.
