B&M Dive Machine for Chimelong Paradise

[kraken613]

^ Thanks!

 

 

Ive seen Griffon and it just looks taller.

[Sticky Nicky]

^Griffon is 205 feet, this one is 196 feet. About 10 feet in between.

 

I wonder how tall the immelmann is...I'm gonna guess 130'.

 

I think Griffons Immelmann is 160' so I am guessing that this is aroun 155-160' also if the coaster is around 200' tall.

Look at the support in the block brake. It's just two supports with wide bases that meet in the middle. That seems crazy.

[matteocrepaldi]

Looks really good.

 

I can't find the other pictures on the chinese website!

Griffon's first Immelmann is 146 feet tall and the second is 100 feet 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

[kraken613]

I like Sheikras better it has more of the weird air at the top than Griffon.

The turn after the immelman that leads into the MCBR looks pretty awkward in the last picture GutterFlower posted.

Maybe it's just a bad angle,but B&M doesn't put elements in that are awkward like that.I expected more from them to maybe bank it more and angle it better.Can't be picky though,the ride looks great.

It looks odd because it is heartlined.

Sheikras immelmann is 145!!!!! rcdb.com

 

According to the Vice President of Engineering and Design, Mark Rose, at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, SheiKra is 204 feet tall, with a 200 foot drop, entering an immelmann that is 165 feet tall. According to a tour that was taken back in March concerning the construction of Griffon, it was noted that it's immelmann was 146 feet tall. Obviously Florida doesn't get as cold as Virginia does, so I think that is part of the reason (as well as the extra span of Griffon's trains providing more air resistance) as to why there is that difference in rations (Drop : Immelmann) between the two rides.

 

As for Chimelong's coaster, since the ride will be running 10 wide carriages, I think the immelmann is probably a tad bit shorter than Griffon's.

 

Chimelong's coaster is really shaping up, and its very neat to see all of the small changes being implemented into this design in comparison to the North American Dive Coasters. Although its something that I believed was only intended for the Busch attractions; I think its kind of neat that the water splash element is a staple part of the coaster's technology. With new things like the water splash being added to rides, it really helps make the attraction fun for not only the riders but for bystanders also. Hopefully Chimelong will do something fancy with their water element, as its more of an aesthetic feature than anything else.

 

By the way, I am a fan of the colors of this ride, and I hope to God that they add some nice shrubbery around the coaster because it would really contrast well with the Reds and Yellows on the ride.

I think it may just be the angle it can make things look alot different.

OMG!!! What is with this park's coaster names

VERTICAL COASTER!!! Wow!

[kraken613]

Who knows!

I would think a Euro Fighter would fit that name better not a B&M DM.

How typical for Chimelong paradise

[PKI Jizzman]

Hahaha. This park makes it easy for the guests. When my friends go to theme parks they usually say "the red one..." or "the one that launches"

 

Vertcal Coaster...Ten Inversion Coaster.....

lol

 

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the website.

 

...but keep in mind, when translated in any Asian language, it actually sounds much cooler than the English translation!

[Guest]

the following link is saying that the ride will feature a loop from 80 meters!!!! http://english.cri.cn/3100/2007/10/29/1221@288642.htm

 

I personally believe that this is a mistake.

[yankees15]

^Yeah that is no 80 meters. It doesn't even look as big as Griffon.

[christianscoasters]

^^It also said as tall as a 32-story building, which is 320 feet

 

BTW, nice avatar

[alpengeist04]

^Maybe they consider a story as 6 feet and not 10. ...its not like they are the tallest people in the world.

[DarkStitch626]

Man we need a construction update here and Smartest Coaster Kid Ever...it says "Almost" it doesn't actually say "it is" as tall as one.

[matteocrepaldi]

I was looking for an update too!

[Gutterflower]

Heya.

Im monitering the chinese news sites for news but nothing yet.

 

they do have an official web site up now though

 

http://www.chimelongparadise.com/cz/index.html

 

Not much to report on there. mostly pics and a video of Shiekra

[sam06pr]

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.
