The Angry Darren Mullins Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 May 3, 2015: I visited two parks in the city of Hengyang. This was actually my second visit to the city. I was there two years ago in the early evening and visited Yueping Park and West Lake Park. At that time, I got to fully take in West Lake and then went to Yueping Park as the sun was going down. Many of the rides at Yueping Park were closed when I got there. I was still able to ride a mouse coaster that was there. The mouse coaster has since been removed from Yueping Park and trees have been planted in its place. Pinghu Park: Pinghu Park is a small park with a lake and two areas of amusement park rides. One area has a few kiddie rides and the other area has a few more rides, including a mouse coaster. There is not really much to this park and the coaster is like many others that I have ridden in China. With that being said, any coaster nut who visits the city of Hengyang in Hunan province will find a good afternoon of fun in at Pinghu Park, Yueping Park and West Lake Park. RCDB lists a second coaster under construction, but there is no coaster under construction at Pinghu. There is only a mouse coaster. Yueping Park: This park is billed as being an "Anti-Japanese Leisure Spot". Two years ago, I rode the mouse coaster here. It is not gone. I went back this time to explore an area of rides that was closed during my last visit. There is a powered coaster there that is really powerful in regards to speed. It, along with the powered coaster at the now defunct Wonchon Lake Land in South Korea are the best powered coasters I have ever ridden. After visiting Yueping, I went to the train station and left Hengyang. I saw no need to visit West Lake this time as Nothing has been added and again, I got to see all of that park the last time. This is the back entrance of Pinghu Park in Hengyang. Hu is the Chinese word for lake. This is the body of water that gives the park its name. Pinhu's rides are this way across this bridge. There are not many rides here, but there is a nice little merry go round. There is also a mouse coaster here. It is the same as many others that I have ridden in China. Once again, this is a very common sight for me in China. This was taken during my ride on the coaster. Here is an action shot of the mouse. On the way to the train station, the bus passed by Yueping Park. I decided to pay another visit as many of the rides had closed for the evening when I was here two years ago. Yueping Park's mouse coaster has been removed. A few footers are all that is left of the coaster. A powered coaster is here at Yueping Park. It looks like a pretty basic powered coaster. What makes this powered coaster different is that it uses part of the terrain. From this on ride shot, you can tell that the track is pretty much on the ground. It was really moving fast at this point. Here is an action shot to finish off the TR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
