The air in China is so f$%#ing ugly and brown. I feel like at the end of a high speed ride like that you have to clean your nose out like the lint catcher in a clothes dryer.

This is why that country has been dumping absurd amount of money into clean energy and created a death penalty for major environmental offenses.

Leaving the air pollution aside, China is getting coasters that we can consider promising! :D

Edit: China has more coasters than the US! RCDB told me so! :D

New concept art released for Wanda Guangzhou. This park has not broken ground yet and has no set opening date.

I'm hoping the duelers are Vekoma. Like Battlestar Galactica but bigger.

Let us hope Vekoma picks a fabrication plant that keeps the seats of their trains attached to the trains lol.

The Chinese knockoffs seem to have a little shakiness that works well in those conditions. I'm sure the laws of physics change a tad when the atmosphere is 95% dirt.

Remember, though, that they went for Beijing Shibaolai instead of Vekoma for their SLC located in the same park as the Intamin hyper.

The air will fix itself in a couple decades. They introduced the death penalty for environmental infractions there, and I would be very surprised if an equivalent of the EPA/Superfund programs the USA have isn't created there soon.

If not they'll end up with places worse than Lake Calumet in Chicago, which has had groundwater sampled with a pH of 13.4.

Testing of the tilt coaster has begun. It is confirmed to be a Golden Horse now which worries me a lot since a knock off tilt coaster screams unsafe to me. Shaping looks awful too.

I know that Gravity Max's train does a pretty slow vertical loop as well, so you don't need to worry about that stalling moment.

Edit: Can I edit... because of my stupid thoughts? The train there doesn't look slow at all, lol. ;)

Looks actually pretty good for a first test run. Should only run faster later on.

Hmm, as for the nearly stalling moment, what coaster (except for B&M and Intamin) do you think has got the slowest vertical loop in the world?

;)

Well you've got lots of personal experience with lubricants and "dirt" over short timespans so maybe you could share data with them.
