B&M Dive Machine for Chimelong Paradise

Well they advertise some pics with a water splash so there must be a water splash somewhere. Oh and the final helix looks awesome. Its so low to the ground -

B&M Dive Machine for Chimelong Paradise

Seriously. this park needs to make its own artwork. I know it uses Sheikra as an example, but their own artwork will be something new and cool to see. -
JZ's Ongoing Kings Island Update Thread!
sam06pr replied to PKI Jizzman's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I dunno much from KI and this is a B&M lover speaking but here is what I think... A B&M hyper sounds nice. Allthough KI may have a woodie that is more than 200ft, a B&M hyper will bring new experience not seen in the park that much. Maybe a B&M floorless dive machine will be a better addition. Something new to the area. But it will have to be improved a bit. I do not know what other major ride could be added to the park to be considered different from the others in the park. -
So you have to be 48 inches to ride Boomerang, Ghost rider, and now Pony express. Whats the sense of advertising this ride as a family ride? Maybe they should of located it somewhere else and made something bigger. Or made a ride for the family that could be fun like Sierra Sidewinder. If you are making a really short slow coaster, make the hight requirement at least 42 inches.

USA - Recommended Parks
sam06pr replied to Woogle's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Busch Gardens Tampa..I am being bias...lol but it sort of close to the airport, there are a bunch of hotels in the area. some are nice and some are horrible so be careful. Ybor city(next to downtown tampa) has a lot of nightlife. it is open year round and of course Florida is know for good weather, unless it rains.lol Outside of Florida, I have no idea. I went to SFOT and that was sort of close to the airport, dont know the rest. The park is ok. So Busch Gardens Tampa its probably the best, and you can hit Sea World in Orlando and Universal. -

B&M Dive Machine for Chimelong Paradise
sam06pr replied to coastermaniac1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think Griffons Immelmann is 160' so I am guessing that this is aroun 155-160' also if the coaster is around 200' tall. I think SheiKra's is 141, and Griffon's (^) is 146 or so. I'm gonna go with 137 for this one. Seems like for every foot taller the drop is, the immelmann is a foot taller too. That was me being a nerd and finding patterns. I'll stop now. Sheikras immelmann is 145!!!!! rcdb.com -

Griffon vs. Sheikra-Survey
sam06pr replied to coasterfreak80's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I stand corrected. According to Wikipedia, Sheikra's second drop is 81 degrees while Griffon's is 87 degrees. Odd. yeah cause wikipedia is a reliable source. lol -
Texas Giant was rough as hell and there were to many trim breaks. We were halfway down the drop and we were still stopping. wtf??? I hated it and I think I always will. Titan seem pointless and boring. All those damn boomerang and SLC coaster. Stop replacing them and just scrap them all. Vekoma should just not exist period.
