For 2017 Happy Valley Chendgdu will build a massive expansion in their new "Silk Road" themed area. This area will have a new B&M dive coaster and a GCI wooden coaster.

I like how the old picture makes the GCI look small. :P This looks good - hope it stays that way.
I'm only annoying on purpose I swear

So does the B&M have like a 300ft long splash pool or something?

Are all of their themeparks built next to giant apartment complexes?

This fact is so RCT2! Based off on a random scenario, kind of! :lol:

They don't really have a choice. It would be easier for them to avoid smog than to avoid vertical living stacks.

I remember when Fireball was "The only wood coaster in China". Now it looks like GCI or TGG are building one in every Chinese park
What are these for?

^I think China is remarkably already the second best country for wooden coasters. Fireball, Dauling Dragon, Time Travel, Fjord Flying Dragon, Wood Coaster @ Knight Valley, Python in Bamboo Forest, and six Jungle Trailblazers? And now this GCI too? Not a ton of variety yet but that's quite the collection.

So these are the confirmed track colors! We also have a name now for both rides. According to RCDB, the dive coaster will be named Flying over the Western Region and the GCI will be named Desert Rally.

I personally like the color scheme. So much so that I already used it in a project.

The GCI is looking great. You can see the tunnel where the dive coaster will go through.
