When you're on a dark ride, people take out their phone, take videos, use flash, scream unnecessarily or talk to other people really loud etc. I was on Indiana Jones at Disneyland and this group of people were yelling really loud the entire ride, constantly using flashlight to film videos and take SnapChat videos while commenting about the ride. Ruined that one ride for me but I've been on it like 10 times. However I feel sorry for whoever experiences Indiana Jones the first time with a group like that.

People that don't know what personal space is and push forward. Excuse me making everybody in front of you pregnant won't get you on the ride sooner!

Oh I just spent a whole day at the new Wanda park in Nanchang and I'm telling all of you, while Wanda did a great job purchasing the craziest GCI ever, they can NEVER compare with Disney. Not 10 years, not 25 years, not 50 years. No matter how many Intamin's they buy, no matter how many Dynamic Attractions theaters they buy, no matter how many RMC's they buy, no matter how many movie companies they buy. They don't understand one thing, money is important, but if they want to really be a world class group that can confront Disney, they need a soul. The CEO knows nothing about the industry and he's being cocky because he's the richest person in China. Him saying that could be a very clever marketing scheme because Wanda just got started in the theme park business. Him being an asshole to Disney will make the whole country know Wanda is building amusement parks all over the place and that will help with the attendance greatly.

Too good! Don't worry man, Journey is totally completely absolutely nothing special anyway.

They have a Soarin' over Jiangxi (the province Nanchang is in) LMAO.

"Tiday I wemt to s wune theled psrk" will be the beginning of my TR.

Very nice train! But wouldn't using the vest like a seatbelt greatly decrease the capacity?

Here's a secret that not too many people understand: if you'll feel sick on a coaster, stay away.

Moser is a good choice as well. Their drop tower is incredible and their spring ride with the rotation gondolas is fantastic.

Holy crap Alton Towers and Thorpe Park got wrecked!

Yes, here's the story behind the knock-off Boomerang: The park bought the Vekoma Boomerang from Qingdao International Beer City for ShiBaoLai(the knock-off manufacturer) and ShiBaoLai offered to give Lewa this knock-off Boomerang for free after they were done "researching" the Vekoma one. Vekoma was stabbed in the back by Lewa and ShiBaoLai.

Thanks for the review! Can't wait to ride it in November!

^Oops I didn't, sorry. I'll definitely check it out next time!

That's what I was afraid of, if it's designed to sway then after you modify it, the coaster isn't working the way it's designed to be like. I think another vertical support at the top of the small hill would work better than the added lateral support. But that means remaking that track section and one additional foundation. Well I guess the additional support right now is just a temporary solution.

unless the whole welded part of the restraint lock system came off.

After a year of Purdue Engineering it's finally time to shut my brain down and make some dumb decisions a.k.a. allowing myself on Chinese knock-off coasters. So my mom, my grandma and I flew to Xi'an for a short vacation and did some culture here and there because guess what? I'm not an uncultured piece of sh*t even though I'd rather ride T3 5 times in a row than going to a museum unless it's dinosaur exhibition. Xi'an was the capital of China for god knows how many dynasties and we felt like we were in another world because Canton, where we live, really doesn't have many things from 3000 years ago. The famous Terra Cotta (thousands of broken clay warriors inside of a Soarin' over California building) is an hour from downtown Xi'an and Huaqing Pond, another tourist place that’s actually nice, is 10 minutes away from Terra Cotta. That area is full of ancient stuff, which also includes a god awful dark ride with "ancient" technologies that tells the story of a bunch of tomb robbers entering the tomb of the emperor of the Qing dynasty and trying to escape. If any of you are the kind of tourist that feels like your life is more complete after you see Terra Cotta, definitely go check out that dark ride for shits and giggles. They only have information in Chinese though. Link Now let's talk about Lewa. Here's the thing, when they first announced the park, they said they were building something like 15 coasters and they posted photos of them signing contracts with Intamin, Mack, Maurer, Vekoma etc. Plus leaked photos showed an Expedition GeForce clone so of course I got so excited about it and posted a ton of stupid stuff on the forum. And as usual, the final project including a Mack and like a hundred knock-off rides. The location of the park is absolutely awful, it's an hour from the city, you need to drive through a huge market, some rather sketchy area of the city, and some 2-lane underground tunnel from the 80 and worst of all, there's no Uber around! The park itself is surprisingly decent, theming is not at Happy Valley level but the staffs are all very nice and friendly instead of talking to you like they want to scoop out your eye balls with their ice cream scoop. Flash, or Lightning, or Miley Cyrus, whatever that tall red and yellow loopy twisty coaster is called, is the only rideable (SURVIVABLE) coaster at the park. It’s the only Mack hyper coaster with the tallest inverting loop in the world. It is not the most incredible thing evahhhhh, but I feel like Mack is on the right track aside from installing THREE trim brakes. Temperature really makes a huge difference to the ride, in the morning it is Diamondback level floater air and in the late afternoon it is hauling through the course giving some pretty sweet ejector air. One thing I’d like to mention, that Zero G roll at back row right seat is something else! Not “who’s your daddy” intense like Kumba’s Zero G Roll but definitely nice to see Mack getting adventurous once in a while. As for the big a$$ loop, the train goes through it much faster than I thought so there’s no hang time at the top like YOLO’s “I wanna get married with you” loop. It feels like a taller version of a standard B&M loop. Not that it’s a bad thing (are you facing kidding me I wanted to tear that loop down) but I was really expecting some sweet hang time at the top. Well guess Mack is playing it safe over here. Operation wise, the whole park is as bad as Ben Affleck on Dare Devil. Which is still better than Magic Mountain. Merchandise wise, I didn’t see fake Micky Mouse around so that’s a good start. Food wise, I’m from Canton and I grew up with Chimelong’s amazing food so Lewa’s food taste like when you mix raw garlic with blueberry ice cream and guacamole. Plus they only sell Pepsi products. About other rides at the park, why would you think I want to waste my time on them? Anyway, that’s my Lewa Adventure (official name according to RCDB) and Xi’an experience. It’s definitely an interesting experience that I would love to do again some other time. But for now I can’t wait to hop on a plane and fly back home for some real food. Thank you Lewa for a very nice day, I tend to crap about everything but this park is definitely one of the best in China. This is the view from the park's entrance. World's first knock-off Boomerang, like the real one isn't bad enough. Thank god this thing isn't open Now let's go to the real star of the park, or the only thing I actually care about. It's huge! (That's what he/she says, we don't discriminate) Wheee Look at the end of the launch track, look! HUSS booster knock-off. This is actually the most intense ride at the park. So they have a loop and screw and you have to be UNDER 5'7" to ride it. I mean who the face designed this thing? TPED at Purdue! Um... bitch say what? Of course I took a picture like this.

Post-1990 coasters by good manufacturers: yes. Others: probably not doing the clearance test for the coaster with your hand is a better choice.

One of my friends went to the soft opening and she said the toy story hotel is excellent but the SHDL hotel isn't as impressive. Also, people run to TRON like there's a surprise Justin Bieber concert. Definitely looks like the morning run at Tokyo Disney.

Cedar Point is the biggest family owned park in the US.

^ Yes, they are not ready yet.
