Jianghui Amusement Park, Jiangmen, Guangdong, China

 

Today I went to Jianghui Amusement Park. I was here nearly five years ago. The reason I came back was because of the addition of a large coaster with a loop. I found this place and all of the coasters here before ACE or RCDB. Although this park is a bit old, many changes have been made and old rides have been replaced with new rides. The old powered coaster was replaced with a new looping coaster. The looping coaster is called Roller Coaster and it caused me to reach two milestones with one coaster. It became my 900th steel coaster and it also became my 1000th coaster. That is right. I have been on 900 steel coasters and 100 wooden coasters. How was the ride? It is a bit rough. The loop is not engineered properly. It was a joy to reach the milestones I reached and a nightmare at the same time. There are a couple of sour notes for this park. One is that, visitors have to pay 10 RMB ($1.50 US) for a deposit on a card and buy 100 RMB worth of rides. This practice is in place at many parks in China. As you ride each ride, a certain amount is deducted from the card. At the end of the day, at other parks, you can get your unused money back from your card, but not at Jianghui. These people would not refund the unused portion of the money I put on the card. I was only at this park for an hour and didn't have time to stay long due to the train schedule. Another sour note is that the man who was operating the kiddie coaster had too much interest in my wallet. He was trying to look inside my wallet when I went to pay for my rides. I would like to revisit this park and let him take a good look at my knife and then ask him if he wants to see what is in my wallet. I do not care how violent that sounds or if it is an act of terror. He did not have any right to try to look in my wallet. In addition to these issues, the bus that was supposed to take me back to the bus station where I could transfer to another bus to go to the train station never arrived despite me waiting for about 30 minutes for it. The park is in Jiangmen's tourist area. They are going to have to do better with the public transportation in this city. I do not plan to ever go back to Jiangmen. Park management here is s---house and the public transport is s---house. China will never be a world leader when the people can't even do something as simple as run a public bus.

 

I have now discovered 339 coasters before ACE or RCDB could find them. That is a lot and I plan to keep finding AND riding them and visiting the parks.

I am going to Jianghui Amusement Park today. I was here about 5 years ago for my first visit. New additions have brought me back to the park.

Hello Kitty is watching you.

There is a nice lake here.

These have to be in every park. No ifs ans or buts about it.

I rode this on my first visit to the park in 2011. I rode it again today.

This was not here when I visited the first time.

It is a very tame ride.

Although I didn't ride it today, this was fun when I rode it in 2011.

I rode a flume here in 2011, but I can't remember if they replaced it and if this is a new one.

This is the ride that brought me back to Jianghui Amusement Park.

It is only a couple of years old.

The restraints are well-padded.

This coaster is called Roller Coaster.

The loop looks like it is a near-perfect circle.

This is a mirror image of other coasters that I have ridden.

It is a bit rough, but fun and it became my 1000th coaster today as well as steel coaster #900.
