What a terrible ride lol. What the hell did they do to the corkscrew? It practically stalls out in it.

I feel like they've now advanced to early 80s ride quality. At the very least they're rides are getting less sketchy.

Why did they put a really long lift hill... instead of a really steep one like Gravity Max? :?

Looks like a typical wonky Chinese coaster on trackwork. Should be fun if they open next year. :)

hzgarfield made a NL2 recreation of the wingcoaster coming to Wanda Wuxi. It looks like an extended version of X Flight and if it gets all the theming shown in the previous render it will be very cool!

Honestly I wouldn't be too surprised if that twisted airtime hill was actually a corkscrew. two airtime moments in a row seems a bit strange.


Edit: According to the blueprints this thing is actually 60 meters tall (just under 200). Someones finally beating out Gatekeeper.

I gotta agree with you on that. Love that sound. Same as on Taron. <3

I name this Inta-Steel "Looping" Eel! Track and support colors are similar, I assume! :D

Forget the Premier Sky Rocket II. We need a more of these Intamin triple launches in the world, especially in the US. Seriously.

That's a joke right? What complaint could they have possibly given?

They should only be allowed to complain about the coaster being built too far away from them.

Honestly I don't like it that much. Very spread out and a tamed down launch.

I'm sure the launch probably isn't on par with Intamin accelerator coasters, but this triple launch looks like it beats the stinking piss out of anything Premier is doing right now.

Yeah but a rear vertical spike with some glorious airtime? I'd agree the layout feels a bit weak but I definitely dig that triple launch.

Reverse POV that shows some pretty interesting views!

The LIM Launches remind me of a speeding car for some reason.

The trains and mountain it wraps around are really cool.

It'd be so much fun if the ride officially went backwards! I think that 1st launch gives a feeling of a Japanese Loop The Loop, while the 2nd one is pretty close to the spike on Speed: The Ride or Mr. Freeze! The 3rd one is IMO unusual! Crawling backwards - that's exactly why!

:D Great layout! :D

The knockoff at Wanda City Harbin has begun testing. It is a clone of Soaring Dragon and Dancing Phoenix at Wanda Nanchang but with a new track design.

Reminds me of the S&S family coaster trains lol. I so do not trust that thing.

More pics of the Harbin park which is still under construction. Looks like it's full of knockoff coasters.

^ Chinese coasters today don't look cheap to me as they now know how to build stuff! One example is obviously shown in the photo of a Mine Train! Mmm that ride thing does look good!

As for coasters that people call knockoffs, I like them TBH! :)
