WOW! Didn't know about that until just now. I was wondering why I couldn't see the corkscrew when we drive by. So sad to know. Pearl Land was the place where my coaster love got birth and it takes so much memories. Good to know the Children's coaster is still operating that it's my first coaster. My mom rode it with me when I was 3 or 4. They have some pretty good flat rides too. Anyway, taking the coasters down really gave me a shock.

Firstly, I would have written CP when I rearlized CP is Cedar Point... So I would write the full park name. We(Adrian, Jimmy, Thomas, Sherlock, SZH and me) had a trip to Chimelong Paradise on our Labor Day Holiday for the roller coasters. The weather is really great in the morning that most costers are running not so rough, even the Intamin Multi Inversion(Isn't the name of '10 Inversion Coaster' silly?) let me survived a Vekoma SLC feeling! Half Pipe was closed for something wrong on the restraints that I found the track is similar to SEFK instead of the Nickelodeon Universe's Avatar Airbender. It started to rain in the afternoon and we had two rides in dive machine WITH MEDIUM RAIN! That was my first time to ride a coaster in the rain. Pretty rare for a Chinese park to operate rides in the rain. As the rain got heavier, they closed the roller coasters but the Huss Giant Frisbee is still operating. But I have to say, the rain drops hurt when you are at 70mph. We rode Dive Machine for 3-5 times, Intamin Multi Inversion Coaster and Vekoma Motorbike for one time because they were rough. For us credit whores, we rode Young Star Coaster for 4-5 times. I was hoping to ride Iron Rattler as this year's 1st coaster on Texas Midwest Trip and it was taken by Dive Machine. I didn't mean Dive Machine is not good, it is just not as awesome as the Mega-Lites(Personally prefer intense airtimes) maXair! Oh wait, Giant Frisbee... This one make some of us sick. BTW, I will not ride Huss Frisbees anymore, they made me feel really sick that I think spining ride is not the kind of ride that fit me. Others said it was a great ride with strong airtime. B&M fit-in seat. One of the best place to have a rest when the ride stop operating during a heavy rain. Thank god they finally have two train operation that we got on ride within 10 minutes. There are not that much people visiting the park now because they make no new coasters since 2008 (Young Star is not enough to attract enthusiasts.) Close to the ride! Station! We are going! Middle of the first row, SZH is not ready for the stronger airtime so we are all with him. Up we go! Hands up! It's wired that everyong hold on for their dear life... Loop-De-Loop! Take the tunnel!!! With the only little bit of theming. Nice little airtime towards the final helix. We're done! He was singing 'Scream And Shout'... Lift hill! REALLY NOICY!!!B&M, pleeeeeese learn from Mack or use cable lift like Intamin! HUSS!HUSS!HUSS!HUSS!HUSS! Chimelong Paradise really do not care about their coasters' names... coaster with 10 inversions-in Inversion Coaster; Coaster with a 90 degree drop-Dive Coaster; Motorbike themed launch-Motobike Coaster; Half Pipe and Young Star are named the same as their model's name...Speechless about them. Group photo! With one of the roughest Intamin in the world. Design porn... Seems like there is something wrong with the restraint, they tested with empty train on the heavy rain later... first time to see testing on the rain that they sent 4 empty trains to dry the trains off after the rain stopped :/ wired Nerd shot It would be 100 times better for this Intamin if they could change the restraint or even change the trains. This really feel like 10 Inversion Vekoma SLC... WHEELS! WHEELS! WHEELS! Just imagine how painful the corkscrew is. I prefer Arrow's corkscrews to this. Why they are so awesome on Fahrenheit but so rough on this? Half Pipe was doing some fixing while we were there. Finger crossed they will change the restraints. Their new attraction- Haunted House! Not scary at all compare with the USH one that scared the crap out of me...Just kidding. Adrian said the FujiQ's Haunted Hospital is the scariest haunted house ever. Nice theming with the owls Use a word to describe this photo, email me and get a park map! After riding Dive Maching in the rain Break shot of Young Star Thank you Chimelong Paradise for an amazing day!

Batman The Ride in SFMM -
I think most of people who has ridden the Chinese Knock-Off coasters hate them. Let's share your painful experience. I think I got more stupid since I rode the coaster because I think it hurt my brain. I would never ever ever do it again.

How did you get your screen name?
gerstlaueringvar replied to waterviper's topic in Random, Random, Random
I borrowed Gerstlauer as my English name(or German?). And I found that screen name is taken. I like ikea then and I used Ingvar who is the founder of Ikea. Now I kind of think this name is silly and I don't like to copying names. -
